W.A.L.T: understand how to structure a narrative story to entertain an audience. This is my Fractured Fairy Tale of Red Riding Hood.

My Fractured Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there was a girl named Red who owned a shop in the Holly Woods, and she sold riding hoods. That's why they called her Red Riding Hood.

One day a very rich customer enterd her shop and she wanted to buy a wolf skin riding hood. Red riding hood had all kinds of wolf skin, but it wasn’t what the customer wanted. The customer said “I want a wolf skin riding hood and I shall be back at three o clock”.

Red riding hood did not have much time to find a wolf skin, but she had to get a wolf skin somewhere.

Meanwhile not too far away from red riding hoods shop there was a big forest where wolves live. A mother wolf was calling out to her son “WALTER” she called in a big loud voice. “Yes mama” Walter replied. Mama wolf told his son to take a basket of cakes to his grandmother. Mama wolf told her son that he must go through the Holly Woods. Walter was on his way to his grandmother's house.

Time was running short when red riding hood looked out the shop window and saw Walter the wolf skipping up the street. Off she went down the street over to the unexpected wolf. “Hey buddy you are a wolf aren’t you”, Red riding hood said, “Yes” the wolf replied. “Hey wait a minute your Red riding hood”. “Yeah” Red riding hood said with a viscous voice. “My Mama warned me about you” the wolf said. “Oh don’t be so stupid”, Look I got a rich customer who would pay a thousand dollars for a face like yours. “REALLY” Walter the wolf said. “Shore” so how about selling me your skin, Red riding hood said.  “ are you crazy or something” the wolf said.

Walter quickly dashed away from Red riding hood and he ran for his life. Red riding hood’s idea did not appeal to Walter at all.

Now there were only twenty minutes left and Red riding hood had to rush to catch Walter the wolf. A few blocks further on, Walter was stopped by an attractive sign, it said, FREE HAIRCUTS TODAY ONLY.  

Walter took a seat ready to get a haircut.

“Give me a flat top” Walter said. “Ok” said the hairdresser.

You have a very familiar voice said Walter.

Hold still, I don’t want to ruin your sleeve. The sleeves!, Walter said with a terrifying voice.

“Hey your Red riding hood”

“Ohh no I was hoping you wouldn’t notice me” said Red riding hood.

And again the wolf dashed away in fright.

“COME BACK!”, Red riding hood yelled.

Time was running out fast, there just had to be a way to catch that wolf, and her only chance of doing that was to beat the wolf to granny’s house. The shortcut the wolf took was really the shortest way to go to granny’s, but it takes longer because that’s the freeway.

Soon Red riding hood arrived at Walters granny’s house and no one was home. She hurried inside and used an old bear skin rug to pretend to be granny, hopped into bed, and with only three minutes left to go, wolf made it to granny’s house. But on the way he had been doing a little thinking. “Hmmmm a thousand dollars for a wolf skin” Walter the wolf said, But where would I get a wolf skin to sell to that rich lady besides my own.

Wolf was at the door.

“ Come in” Red riding hood said.

Hi granny. Aahhhh GRANNY!! Wolf said in shock. What big blue eyes you have, granny what beautiful fur you have.

Then it struck him….. Granny = Wolf skin = a thousand dollars. “Ohh come on would I sell my grandmother for a thousand dollars?”… “Of course I would” he said.

Shortly after three o'clock on that very afternoon, a very satisfied customer was seen leaving the little fur shop in the Holly Wood.

It looks very good on you madam, Walter said. “Thank you”, i’ll wear it every moment, i’ll will never take it off”.

And the wolf, well he went into the fur business for himself, and from the looks of things he was to live happily ever after.

THE END.
