The Modern Twist
What happens?
Little red riding hood needed money so her and her boyfriend (the axe man) come up with a scheme which
makes the headlines. They tied and gagged her grandmother and locked her in the basement. They killed her
large dog and called the police. Little red riding hood claimed that she was attacked and the axe man had
saved her life. However, a neighbour hears her grandmother in the basement and sets her free. The story is
then told to the press and little red riding hood and the axe man is jailed for charges on preventing the course
of justice, kidnapping and animal cruelty.
