Little Red Riding Hood
About Little Red Riding Hood
Mother throws rings of dough. A cat shoots holes in them, fishes the doughnuts from the oil, eats one, and loses all nine lives. Red sets off with a basket in a cart pushed by her dog. A tire goes flat and she inflates a doughnut in its place. A wolf in a flivver finds a note that grandma has gone to the movies, shrinks the car into his pocket, and waits. Red has stopped to watch a dancing flower. Inside the house he goes after her. The dog fetches a pilot, who lifts the house with a skyhook, then the wolf in his car, and drops him in a lake.
