Little Green Riding Hood

Little Green Riding Hood

By Gianni Rodari 

 Re-written by Sura Yang

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Little Green Riding Hood.  Now, most of you may know her as “Little Red Riding Hood” but after her incident with the Big Bad Wolf, she changed her style of clothing.  Anyways, she has been avoiding the forest ever since that ungrateful day and has taken the Sand Dune’s Path to get to grandma’s house.  The Sand Dune’s Path is not an easy walk through the park but it was safer than the forest.  One day, Little Green Riding Hood forgot to bring water with her to the Sand Dune’s Path so she had to make a short stop in the forest to fetch a bottle of water.  Luckily she did not meet the Big Bad Wolf on this peculiar trip but instead, Little Green Riding Hood came upon the Monstrous Masculine Walrus.  Afraid of the creature, she threw her bottle of water at the Monstrous Masculine Walrus and snapped his jaw bone in half.  As the Monstrous Masculine Walrus rolled in pain, Little Green Riding Hood ran through the forest to grandma’s house. 

Pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit … pat … pit … pat …….. pit ….. pat ….. pit ….. pat.  She slowed down and looked upon the sun.  It was far past noon and her grandma still had not received the goodies that were vital to her health.  Quickly pacing her steps towards the direction of Grandma’s house, the Monstrous Masculine Walrus stood in front of her and leered at her eyes.  He groaned and he moaned but it only frightened Little Green Riding even more than before.  She threw one cookie, then two, then three!  As the cookies broke and shattered crumbs all over his face, it blinded the Monstrous Masculine Walrus and caused him to cry out in pain and roll on the floor.  This was her opportunity to escape; she ran for miles and miles and not once looked back. 

Pit, pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat … Pit … Pat …. Pit …. Pat ……. Pit ……. Pat.  Her sprint came to a halt as she stopped for some air but she was unaware of where she was and what was yet to come.  The forest grew silent and the day dimmed darker but Little Green Riding Hood was still a distance away from Grandmother’s house.  With no cookies or water, she felt ill, hopeless and defeated.  She laid down to rest and hoped that Grandma would still be okay.  A few hours pass by and Little Green Riding Hood opened her eyes to see what giant figure lay asleep by her foot.  The Monstrous Masculine Walrus, all sound and asleep, did not notice that Little Green Riding Hood was sneaking away.  Pacing her walk so she would not awake the savage beast, she bumped into the Big Bad Wolf’s Mid-sized son who was profuse with rage.  The Mid-sized Wolf sneered and snarled which gave Little Green Riding Hood the scare of her life, so she ran up a tree in hopes that he could not reach her.  With the noises nearby, the Monstrous Masculine Walrus awoke and attacked the Mid-sized Bad Wolf.    Little Green Riding Hood was confused and afraid but she took no time to delay and used that time to escape her unfortunate demise. 

Pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit pat, pit … Pat …. Pit …. Pat …….. Pit … Pat.  Finally closer to grandma’s house and farther from the two savage beasts; she sat down to rest and fought back the hunger that eroded her consciousness.  With nothing to eat and a grandma to take care of, she struggled to get up but fell down on her back.  But with the time she took to sit down and rest, the Mid-sized Wolf came rushing by and snatched her basket in one quick swift motion.  No energy to run, no energy to hide, the only thing Little Green Riding Hood could do was lay down and count the time she had left to live.  The life of her past came rushing by and the first incident reminded her of her awful fate.  Crack, Snackle, Pop!  The Mid-sized Wolf came rushing forward and ripped off her arm, tore off her leg, and clawed out one eye.  Little Green Riding Hood could not move an inch so she lied within her pool of blood.  Unexpectedly, from above the tree, the Monstrous Masculine Walrus came diving down and used his giant tusks to stab the Mid-sized Wolf.  It killed him instantly.  Little Green Riding Hood cried out in pain and shrieked even more at the sight of the Monstrous Masculine Walrus.  Knowing death was near; she closed her single eye and waited for the sharp piercing of his tusk.  As time dragged on, her blood quickly drained away and she lost consciousness.   

Awakening in grandma’s house, Little Green Riding Hood was startled and confused.  Her arm and leg was stitched back on and her eye was patched to ease the pain.  The light was dim and the house stood in silence.  Thirsty and hungry for some food and water, she crawled out of bed and wormed her way towards the kitchen.  There on the dining table was some freshly made Italian Rice Bowls of steak and chicken.  The aura of the food illuminated her mind and rumbled her tummy.  She consumed the food whole without taking a single bite but out of the corner of her eye, there stood the Monstrous Masculine Walrus and her grandma.  She whispered to grandma to slowly step away from the beast and call for help. She shook in disagreement and explained the situation.  The Monstrous Masculine Walrus was sent by the Woodcutter to protect Little Green Riding Hood from the Mid-sized Wolf on her journey to Grandma’s house.  Unfortunately, Little Green Riding Hood prevented the situation from being explained because she broke his jaw and blinded his vision so he couldn’t tell her telepathically or verbally.  As she was dying from blood loss after the wolf attack, the Monstrous Masculine Walrus engulfed her in his tummy for his stomach was full of healing magic.  He spat her out at Grandma’s house and she stitched her back to herself.  As the day came to its’ end, Little Green Riding Hood was safe once again, or so she thought.

Anti-Resolutions Post

10 Anti-Resolutions for the Asian

10.  Muscle Cars

I will not rev my car to owners of muscle cars or anyone driving a muscle car within my line of sight.  I will instead, willingly allow them to to pass me and have a glimpse of the 2013 Scion tC.

9.  Ethical Excuses

I will not create excuses to decrease my responsibilities at work.  I will be a great employee and do what is asked of me.  I will perform my tasks efficiently and complete the duties as well as possible.  

8.  Gas Money

I will not use my parents' money to purchase gas for either the 1997 Toyota Camry or the 2013 Scion tC.  Instead, I will use my own hard-earned money to obtain gas for my own personal use for either school, work, or optional travels.  

7.  Sleep

I will begin to sleep on time from 9:00pm - 12:00am depending on my work hours.  I will not stay up any later than I need to and I will refrain from temptations with my girlfriend.  

6.  Online Shopping

I will not spend my time shopping online for upgrades on my vehicles or unnecessary products for anyone including myself.  I need to save money and pay off my car as soon as I can.  

5.  Chop-Sticks

I will start using the chop-sticks more often than I normally would, including desert foods.  It is a part of my culture and I believe it is time to allow my ethnic background to grow stronger.  

4.   Relationships

I will not branch out to flirt and talk with other women.  I will stick with my girlfriend and pull through the youth age.  It is for this reason that I will prove my worth  and my passion to her.  

3.  Books

I will quit judging a book by its cover and just read what the book has to offer.  Normally I would pick up the book, look at the cover, read the summary, and judge the content of the book based both descriptions.  

2.  Memory

I will not forget my tasks on what I need to bring to school on a daily basis.  I need to develop stronger memory for myself and for the future that I am looking forward to.  

1.  Facebook

I will quit spending all my time on Facebook and start using that time to make my life a better place for me.  With all the time combined from my time spent on Facebook, I probably could have already created my own space craft!
