Little Red Riding Hood and Wally The Wolf

Red Riding Hood takes a short cut through the forest where she meets a Wolf called Wally who tries to take her basket of food. Red scares him off by singing. Wally then tries to trick Red by dressing as a ghost but Red does the same to him.

Next Wally go’s to Grandma’s house and pretends to be a charity collector but Grandma isn’t fooled and tickles the Wolf with a feather duster.

Wally Wolf then dresses up as Grandma to get hold of the food basket from Red but Red sees through his disguise. Finally Granny realizes that the Wolf is the victim of poor parenting and decides to foster him.
