Once
upon a time there lived a little girl and a little boy. The boy told the girl
that he loved her and would keep her safe and the little girl believed him.
One
fine day, the girl set off on an errand that took her through the woods where
she was spotted by a wolf. The little girl went about her business and returned
home, not knowing that the wolf had followed her.
The
boy who had spoken such sweet promises now saw the wolf, gave out a cry and
fled, leaving the girl to die in its jaws.
The
wolf began to consume the girl, devouring her sorrow, her softness, her broken heart,
leaving her a lean hardened creature, hungry for vengeance on the boy who left
her. Pleased at the transformation, the wolf offered to help the girl in her
revenge.
And
so it was that they hunted the boy until they found and cornered him
The
boy was horrified at the creature so similar to the wolf that he once knew as
the little girl, began to stammer
“What
big eyes you have”
“All the better to see you for the
pathetic coward and liar you are”
“What
big ears you have”
“All the
better to hear you scream”
“What
big teeth you have”
She gave a wicked grin
And the
wolf, Fell, upon the boy giving him the death he had left her to
