Scene 1
Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful blond girl who lived
with her mother in a village near the forest. Her grandmother once gave her a
lovely red coat. That is why she was known as Little Red Riding Hood in the
village. One day...
Little Red Riding Hood: Mother, did you call me?
Mother: That's right, Little Red Riding Hood. Your grandmother is in critical
condition. I want you to go to her house and bring her this small basket with
bread and honey.
Little Red Riding Hood: Mother, yes!
Mother: But don't stop in the wilderness and don't chat to strangers, follow my
instructions and go to your grandmother's residence.
Little Red Riding Hood: Roger! Mother!!!!!!!
Narrator: Little Red Riding Hood walked through the woodland, carrying a
small basket for her grandmother, who lived in a nearby settlement. She
observed many gorgeous flowers in the woodland along the route.
Little Red Riding Hood: What lovely flowers! I'll bring some to my
grandmother.
Song (by flowers, butterflies, and trees):
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood
Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big, bad wolf could want
Listen to me
Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky ol' woods alone
What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways
So until you get to Grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe
I'm gonna' keep you safe
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted, walking with you alone
Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a small, soft flower, so I won't
What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way
Before we get to Grandma's place
Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything that a big, bad wolf could want
oohps! I mean baa
Baa? Baa
Narrator: She was about to pick up some flowers when she noticed the little
basket on the ground...
Wolf: Hello and good morning. Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood: Mr. Wolf, good morning.
Wolf: What are you doing up so early?
Little Red Riding Hood: I'm going to my grandmother's house to deliver this
small basket of bread and honey to her.
Wolf: Is your granny far away, Little Red Riding Hood?
Little Red Riding Hood: Mr. Wolf, she lives just across the forest in the first
little house in the village... the one with the white door.
Wolf: Farewell, Little Red Riding Hood. I hope she improves. And can you see
that road?
Little Red Riding Hood: Yes, I do.
Wolf: Just take that road and you'll arrive at your grandmother's house.
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh, yeah, I will. Thank you very much!
Wolf: Good-bye, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Scene 2
Narrator: Little Red Riding Hood continued to seek for flowers, defying her
mother, who told her not to stop in the forest and to go to her grandmother's
house. Meanwhile, the wolf knocked on the door of Little Red Riding Hood's
grandma.
Grandmother: Who's there?
Wolf: It's me, Little Red Riding Hood, and I've brought you a basket full of
bread and honey.
Grandmother: Come in, my little angel, and push the door open.
Narrator: The wolf has eaten the Little Red Riding Hood's grandma as soon as
he entered. He then changed into her nightgown, jumped into bed, and awaited
thesmall girl. Little Red Riding Hood arrived at her grandmother's house a few
minutes later. She knocked on the door.
Wolf: Is anyone there?
Little Red Riding Hood: Grandmother, this is Little Red Riding Hood, your
granddaughter. I came to deliver you a small basket containing bread and
honey.
Wolf: Come on in, my little angel, and push the door open.
Narrator: Little Red Riding Hood entered the small house. She hurried straight
to her grandmother's room, where the Wolf was clothed in her grandmother's
clothes.
Wolf: My little angel, come in. Take a break.
Little Red Riding Hood sat in a chair, looking at her grandma.
Little Red Riding Hood: Your voice sounds strange, granny. Is there something
wrong?
Wolf: I'm just getting over a cold.
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh, grandmother, you have such huge ears!
Wolf: All the more reason to listen to you.
Little Red Riding Hood: And you have such large eyes!
Wolf: All the more reason to see you.
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh, grandmother, and you have such enormous teeth.
Wolf: All the more reason to eat you! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Narrator: Little Red Riding Hood was eaten by the Wolf. The wolf then fell
asleep. Meanwhile, a woodman was passing by the small house and noticed the
door open. He walked in, looked for the old lady, and then noticed the wolf.
Woodman: Oh no! Grandmother has been eaten by the wolf! But he's sound
asleep. I hope I arrive on time!
Narrator: He grabbed the wolf by the throat and forced him to spit out
Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood, who were still alive.
Grandmother: Oh, thank you, good woodsman.
Grandmother: Little Red Riding Hood, this is a lesson for you. You'll never
again disobey your mother.
