Materials:
red raincoat with a hood, red scarf, black costume, basket, towel, toy gun

Characters:
Little Red Riding Hood, wolf

Directions:
Little Red Riding Hood is dressed in the raincoat with hood and scarf and the wolf is dressed in black. Little Red has a basket covered with a towel. Inside the basket is a toy gun. Little Red skips into the room with her basket...

RED: (to audience) I'm Little Red Riding Hood and I'm going to Grandma's house with this basket of goodies! (skip around the stage area)
WOLF: (jumps in front of Red) Boo!
RED: EEK! EEK! Boy are you ugly!
WOLF: I'm the Big Bad Wolf and I'm going to eat you all up!
RED: But I'm just poor Little Red Riding Hood and I'm going to Grandma's house with this basket of goodies. You wouldn't want to disappoint poor old Grandma now would you?
WOLF: You got a point there. I'll let you go this time. Maybe I'll run into the three pigs somewhere along the way.
Riding Hood skips off around the room and the wolf turns to the audience and says:
WOLF: Ha Ha Ha, what Little Red Riding Hood doesn't know is that I'm going to beat her to Grandma's house. I'll take a shortcut through the strawberry patch... sort of a "strawberry shortcut..."

The wolf gets under a blanket on the floor and Riding Hood arrives.

RED: Knock! Knock!
WOLF: Who's there? (in a high voice)
RED: Yah!
WOLF: Yah-who! Ah, just come an in already.
RED: Hi, Grandma. Gee, what big ears you have Grandma.
WOLF: What? Oh, yeah... all the better to hear you with, my dear, heh-heh!
RED: And what big eyes you have Grandma.
WOLF: All the better to see you with, my dear.
RED: And what big nose you have, Grandma.
WOLF: All the better to smell your goodies with, my dearie.
RED: And what big teeth you have Grandma.
WOLF: (jumps up out of the blanket) Yeah! All the better to eat you with...!

Riding Hood pulls the gun out of the basket and shoots about six shots into the wolf.

WOLF: (staggers, falls to his knees) Well folks, the moral of this story is..."Little girls just ain't as dumb as they used to be."(falls down)
