Script Extract:

Red Riding Hood: I have this hamper to deliver

With crackers and mince-pies to give ‘er.

Goodbye!

Wolf: Well! I’m rather fond of pastry –

And Grandmama’s are always tasty.

Narrator: He bared his teeth, he licked his lips.

Wolf: (horrible grin)  I think that Grandma’s had her chips!
