BLOGLISH

As soon as Wolf began to feel

That he would like a decent meal,

He got ready and went hunting,

Running, searching to find some flesh.

Being picky was not his thing,

But he would like it better fresh.

 

When he was close to giving up,

He saw Grandma and grasped her up.

Her, he wanted to devour.

She opened wide her toothless mouth:

“Don’t eat me, you’ll find me sour.”

Hearing that, he began to doubt.

“Sir, take my grand-daughter instead.

You’d love her, I’m sure she’s tasty.

I’m begging you, I want her dead,

This child is extremely nasty.”

“Convince me not to eat both of you.”

“Do not be concerned, I will reward you.”

 

Grandma led the wolf to her little housing,

But the girl was already coming.

In haste, the elder dropped her wig

And threw it on the wolf’s header.

Then they heard the doorbell ring.

In the wardrobe, Grandma entered.

 

Without waiting, the girl came in.

She stopped, she stared. And then she said:

“What’s a wolf doing in my Grandma’s bed?”

“Can’t you recognise your granny darling?”

“No, you are a silly, hairy monster!”

“Come on, stinky beast, hurry up, eat her!”

 

The girl was about to reply,

But Wolf had already devoured her,

She didn’t even have the time to cry

That she was savagely slaughtered.

 

Satiated, the wolf turned to the wardrobe and growled:

“Come on granny, now give me your money!”

She remained silent, not at all disturbed.

“Would you rather be swallowed by me?”

“Poor wolf, you, I’m about to wound.”

At him, she pointed a hatchet

The one she was hiding in the closet.

The next moment, his head fell on the ground.

 

After cutting the animal into pieces,

Grandma prepared the meat, boiled it in a cauldron.

Next week, she brought her stew to all marketplaces.

“Come and taste my new casserole before you go on!”
