Lying Little Red Riding Hood in specs #7

by

As she wandered on, her lie somehow reassuring her mother, Little Red Riding Hood experienced changes unbeknownst to her. She didn’t know, (why would she, as this is on loan from another fairy story), but as she lied, so her nose grew bigger and bigger.

Now I’m sure you all know the story… Little Red Riding Hood didn’t hurry along to Granny’s house. Instead, she tried, unsuccessfully, due to her short-sightedness, catching butterflies so she could pull their wings off one by one, trod on snails, threw stones at birds’ nests and climbed trees… like every naughty little girl.

    Wow. We've been subjected to "Fake News" fairy tales all these years and are now getting the truth!
