Please read the poem ‘Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf’ in Roald Dahl’s
collection, Revolting Rhymes (1982), and answer the questions that follow:
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 Ms 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.
