Story 1 Little Red and Granny Tigress (May 2008)

1. Little Red Riding Hood met MeiMei, a girl from Taiwan on the Internet.
She bought a flight ticket to see her friend.

2. Little Red came to Taiwan.
She met MeiMei’s family.

3. That afternoon, MeiMei’s parents had planed to stay at Auntie’s place for one night.
They told them Granny would come to take care of them.
“Be careful! Do not open the door to strangers!”

4. In the evening, Granny came.
She rang the bell. “Ring~~”
MeiMei asked: “Who is it?”
Granny: “It’s Granny!”

5. MeiMei: “How do we know you are really Granny?”
Granny: “I’ve got your favorite rice cakes with me!”
Granny showed the rice cakes to them.
“Those rice cakes are really made by Granny, ” MeiMei thought. “I’d better let her in.”

6. It’s time to go to bed now. Granny insisted sleeping with WeiWei, Mei Mei’s younger brother.
In the beginning, WeiWei cried very hard and couldn’t go to sleep.
Granny tried to soothe him, and he became quiet after a while.

7. At midnight. Little Red woke up to go to the toilet.
She heard something from Granny and WeiWei’s room. “Munch, munch.”
Little Red knocked on the door. “Granny, Granny! What are you eating?”
Granny said: “Sausages of course! What’s wrong? Do you think I am eating WeiWei’s little fingers?”
Little Red was very shocked. “Granny, I would like to try one as well.”

8. Granny reached out her hand and gave Little Red some sausages covered with ketchup.
The ketchup tasted like blood!
“Oh my God!” Little Red screamed out loud. “Help! Granny ate WeiWei!”

9. MeiMei woke up and ran quickly towards the screams.
Granny kept saying, “Those really are sausages!”
But everyone saw her stripy tail.

10. MeiMei wanted to call the police, but Granny was even faster.
She tied them up to the chairs.

11. Little Red said, “I want to go to the toilet, please!”
“You can hold the other end of the rope to make sure that I don’t run away.”

12. Little Red went into WeiWei’s room. He was having a sweet dream on the bed.
She grabbed him and ran out happily.
The terrifying Granny Tigress had already gone.

13. Granny Tigress has become a terrifying character.
Now mothers always warn their children,
“Be good and go to bed early, otherwise Granny Tigress will eat your fingers!”
