I want to see my grandma. **(Little Red takes the basket and leaves)** ### SCENE 2: IN THE FOREST **(The Wolf is hungry. He sees Little Red and a Woodsman walking together)** **WOODSMAN** Where are you going, pretty girl? **LITTLE RED** To my grandma's house. I have bread and wine for her. **WOODSMAN** Let's walk together. There is a bad wolf in this forest. **WOLF** *(Hidden and angry)* A bad wolf? What a liar! That girl is my lunch. **(At a crossroads, the Woodsman stops)** **WOODSMAN** I go left here. Bye, Little Red! **LITTLE RED** Thank you, sir! Bye! ### SCENE 3: THE WOLF'S DECEPTION **(The Wolf approaches Little Red with a big smile)** **WOLF** Hello! I am a good wolf, don't be afraid. Are you going to see your grandma? **LITTLE RED** Yes... **WOLF** Look! There are beautiful flowers over there. Go pick some! Your grandma will be very happy. **LITTLE RED** But my mom said: "Do not leave the path". **WOLF** It is okay! This way is shorter and safe. I can protect you. **LITTLE RED** Okay, but not too far. **WOLF** Great! Let's go. *(Aside)* Now I will go to Grandma's house first. ### SCENE 5: AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE **(The Wolf knocks on Grandma's door and changes his voice)** **GRANDMA** Who is it? **WOLF** *(High voice)* It’s me, Little Red! **GRANDMA** Your voice is strange, dear. **WOLF** It is because I am cold. Open the door! **(The Wolf enters and eats Grandma whole. He puts on her clothes and gets into bed)** ### SCENE 6: LITTLE RED ARRIVES **(Little Red enters the house and looks at the bed)** **LITTLE RED** Grandma, are you okay? **WOLF** *(Fake voice)* No, dear. Come closer to me. **LITTLE RED** Grandma, what big eyes you have! **WOLF** To see you better, my child. **LITTLE RED** I have medicine for you. **WOLF** *(True voice)* No medicine! I am going to eat you! **(The Wolf jumps and eats Little Red whole. He falls asleep and snores loudly)** ### SCENE 7: THE RESCUE **(The Woodsman enters the house and sees the Wolf sleeping)** **WOODSMAN** Oh no! The bad wolf ate them! I can save them. **(The Woodsman opens the Wolf's stomach with scissors. Little Red and Grandma jump out)** **LITTLE RED** Thank you! It was very dark inside. **WOODSMAN** Let’s punish this wolf. Bring many stones! **(They fill the wolf's stomach with stones. The Wolf wakes up in pain)** **WOLF** Oh, my stomach hurts! This is a nightmare! **(The Wolf falls down, defeated. Little Red hugs Grandma)** **LITTLE RED** I am sorry, Grandma. Next time, I will listen to my mom. **GRANDMA** Everything is okay now, Little Red. I am happy to see you. **(They all celebrate together)** **THE END**
