A different version of the story for Women's day

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE WOLF
by
Roald Dahl


As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, 'May I come in?'
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
'He's going to eat me up!' she cried.
And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.

But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, 'That's not enough!
'I haven't yet begun to feel
'That I have had a decent meal!'
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
'I've got to have another helping!'
Then added with a frightful leer,
'I'm therefore going to wait right here
'Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
'Comes home from walking in the wood.'


He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those.)
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.




In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said, 'What great big ears you have, Grandma.'
'All the better to hear you with,' the Wolf replied.
'What great big eyes you have, Grandma,'
said Little Red Riding Hood. 'All the better to see you with,' the Wolf replied.

He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She's going to taste like caviare.

Then Little Red Riding Hood said,
'But Grandma, what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.'

'That's wrong!' cried Wolf. 'Have you forgot
'To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
'Ah well, no matter what you say,
'I'm going to eat you anyway.
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.


A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, 'Hello, and do please note
'My lovely furry WOLFSKIN COAT.'

A Tale from China

Two hunters saw a wild goose fly overhead.  As one of the hunters placed an arrow in his bow and aimed it at the goose, he said, "The goose will make a fine stew."
"Stew!" said the other.
"It would be far better to roast it."
"Stewed!" said the first, putting down his arrow.
"Roasted!" replied the other.
The argument went on. "Let's ask our clan leader to decide the best way to cook that goose."
The leader settled the argument by suggesting that when they caught the goose, half should be stewed and half should be roasted.  In that way, everyone's needs would be met.  Pleased, the two hunters went out to shoot the wild goose, but by that time, the goose was safely long gone...

Good morning and welcome!!!

Pues ya está aquí y esperamos que sea para largo.  También deseamos que entre todos podamos crear un blog con buenos recursos que nos facilite la tarea de enseñar, de aprender, que nos distraiga y que nos mantenga al día en la asignatura y en la vida del centro.

Con objeto de mejorar las competencias lingüísticas aquí os dejamos un relato con moraleja, esta vez una historia de China y recordad: "Más vale pájaro en mano que cientos volando."
