Little Red Riding Hood



A CCA bedtime story

By Linda Felaco

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Red Riding Hood who lived on an organic farm in the woods near the Great Swamp, in a passive solar house built out of native granite. 

One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother filled a basket with honey, eggs, bramble fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowering perennials and told Little Red Riding Hood, “Ride your little bicycle to Grandma’s house and bring her this nice basket full of organic food we grew here on the farm.”

Now, Little Red Riding Hood didn’t know it, but an elderly millionaire wolf had killed and eaten her Grandma in order to “flip” her elderly affordable housing rental unit. When Little Red Riding Hood arrived at Grandma’s house, the wolf was dressed in her Grandma’s nightie and lying in her bed.

But the elderly millionaire wolf had left his asset portfolio lying on the nightstand, and when Little Red Riding Hood approached the bed to give her Grandma the basket of organic goodies, she saw the portfolio and cried out, “Grandma, what big assets you have!”

Luckily, just at that moment, Woodsman George was passing by and heard Little Red Riding Hood’s cry. He climbed through the window and hacked the big bad elderly millionaire wolf to pieces with his hatchet and took his assets. Little Red Riding Hood was so thankful that she gave the woodsman the basket of organic goodies.
