=**__Cynical Little Riding Hood__**= = = **Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. One day her mother called her into her room questioning her about going to a party she had specifically told her she was not allowed to go to. The little girl was stunned, for she had listened to her mother that night and not gone. When she explained this to her mother, her mother told her that her grandmother had seen her at the party. She was speechless; she tried to explain to her mother that this was not true. Her mother did not believe her and took her grandmother's word against hers. Her punishment was grounding for a month. The little girl was furious at her grandmother for making up such a story knowing she indeed had not gone to the party and wanted revenge.** **The following week her grandmother came down with the flu. The little girl’s mother made a basket of goodies for her to take to her grandmother. She took this as a great opportunity to get revenge on her grandmother for making up the story. She takes the basket into the other room while her mom isn’t looking and puts drops of poison on all of the goodies in the basket. Her mother finally sends her on her way with the goodies to be delivered, but before she goes her mom tells her to not be so hard on her grandmother because she is ill and only wanted the best for her, then handed her a red cape that her grandmother knitted for her mother to give to her. Without giving a care she took the red cape and threw it on, but little did she know her grandmother had poisoned it knowing that her mother would have given it to her to wear.** **As she is walking through the woods a wolf approaches her. The little girl starts to get nervous, not because of how horrible a creature she knows the wolf is but because she knows that wolves have a good sense of smell and did not want the wolf to figure out that she had poisoned the basket of goodies and have word go around that tried and poison her grandmother. The wolf completely disregards the scent of the little girl’s basket, for he is much too concentrated on the scent of the little girl to notice any other scent around. The wolf quickly thinks up a plan and sends the little girl on her way, planning on meeting up with her once again later. She sighs in relief and continues her walk to her grandmother’s house.**
 * She finally arrives at the door and her grandmother lets her in, the first thing she does is take a chair and sit down. Her head aches hard, her heart starts to pump faster, her arms start getting shaky, and her palms begin to sweat. The poison in her cape starts taking effect on her body all while her grandmother sits from across the room and watches merrily. She falls to the floor dead after ten or so minutes. Her grandmother goes to check her pulse, a big smile comes across her face, for the little girl is dead. Mean while she thinks of what to do with her body, she pokes around the poisoned goody basket for treats to munch on. Within five minutes of her eating one of the poisoned muffins, she along with her granddaughter both lay on the floor poisoned and dead. The wolf arrives at the old lady’s house shortly after to find both of them dead. He is thrilled that he did not have to go through his ridiculous plan of eating away with the little girl’s grandmother and dressing up like her. Not thinking about what had happened for both of them to lay on the floor dead; he takes a big bite of the little girl’s poisoned body. The wolf drops to the floor shortly after. All three lay on the floor now side by side, poisoned and dead. **
