Little Red Riding Hood

Red was almost done with the jigsaw puzzle. "15 more pieces and I've done it" she thought to herself.

Just then her mother called out to Red. She ran downstairs to find out what her mother wanted. "Take this bluberry pie and these chocolate donuts, and deliver them to Granma. You know how she loves my blueberry pies. Now run along...." said Red's mother.

The path to Granma's house was through a beautiful forest. Red was soon on her way, basket of goodies and all. Along the way the way she came across a little wooden box. Inside the box there was a bracelet and a little book. This bracelet was nothing like she had ever seen before. She put on the bracelet and began to read the book. What Red had in her hands was a time travel device. "WOW!! I'm going to have so much fun with this later" she thought to herself.

As Red skipped merrily along , out of nowhere (actually the tree in front of her) sprang a wolf. This was a mean looking wolf (now that the pork chops were over and done with, he was hungry again). He licked his lips and moved closer to Red. She knew she would not be able to outrun the wolf, so she quickly set her new found time travel device to the past.

With a push of the button she disappeared. Red tele-transported herself to the Jurassic period. Only to appear in the path of a hungry T-Rex, which wasted no time in gobbling her up.

"Now, I have to look for something else to eat. Hmmm, there's this little old lady who lives all by herself not far from here" thought the wolf.

MORAL:If you are going to time travel, look closely at the time dial before pushing any buttons.
