Synopsis
Mr. Wolf is stealthily hunting deep in the wild woods, where the trees are the thickest. He was hoping to find another random chunk of meat sitting by the path. He peeks his head out of the trees at the sound of a noise. He sees a little girl wearing a red hood holding a basket standing on the path. He decided to call this girl Little Red Riding Hood. He hears a voice yelling “goodbye love, see you in a couple of hours don’t forget flowers and don’t forget to drop the basket at Gram’s”. Little Red Riding Hood suddenly stops at a flower patch and starts picking wild purple and yellow flowers. Mr. Wolf emerges at the sight and smell of the food. His stomach rumbles. Little Red Riding Hood hears the rumbling and turns around startled. She pulls a strange face as she offers him a chicken drumstick from the basket. He goes to take it from her and she rips it out of his hands yelling “Gotcha!” She runs away quickly. Wolf knows where she’s going and follows her. He takes a shortcut through the bush and makes his way to Gram’s cottage. When he gets there Little Red Riding Hood is nowhere in sight. He waits for her inside the cottage and meets Gram’s there. The basket is also sitting on the table. He goes to grab it but Gram’s gets there first and steals it away. Mr. Wolf is still chasing Grams around the cottage. It switches to shots of Little Red Riding Hood running through the forest towards...? It flashes back to the chase between Grams and Mr. Wolf. The tension is building. Grams is sick of running and jumps into the cupboard with the basket and holds it shut while Mr. Wolf is battering against it (the view is from the inside of the cupboard). Mr. Wolf is locking Grams in the cupboard and at the same time saying “two can play this game!” The door of the cottage is suddenly thrown open and a muscled man with a huge axe enters. Little Red Riding Hood also enters. “What is all this nonsense about?” the man yells. “I am the great axeman of the dark forest and I will not stand around while you terrorise my DAUGHTER!” The great axeman swings his axe and decapitates Mr. Wolf when he says the word daughter. Mr. Wolf was a known food stealer and Grams, Little Red Riding Hood and Little Red Riding Hood’s mother had set up this plan. They had been laying meat around the edges of the path so that they knew Mr. Wolf would hear the convocation between Little Red Riding Hood and her mother and so they could lure him in. The moral of the story is don’t be greedy and don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
