A small flat in a high-rise building. A teenage girl's bedroom. Posters of Klava Koka are hung on the walls. The girl stands in front of the mirror trying on another outfit. An oversized jumper and skinny jeans. To complete the look, the girl puts on a bright red cap.
Little Red Riding Hood: Now that's stylish! Everyone will be shocked by my outfit!
Mum peeks into the room and notices the girl getting ready.
Mum: Where are you off to all dressed up?
Little Red Riding Hood: To Klava's concert, Mum, I told you already.
Mum: I don't quite remember, but I have a task for you.
Little Red Riding Hood: No problem, tell me.
Mum: You need to visit your grandma and take her some pies.
Little Red Riding Hood: But that's on the other side of town, I won't make it to the concert!
Mum: If you spend less time admiring yourself in the mirror and hurry up, you'll make it.
Little Red Riding Hood: What's in it for me?
Mum: Half the pies are yours.
Little Red Riding Hood: What do I need those pies for? Do you know how many calories are in them? I'm actually on a diet. Mum, you're really crazy. I'm talking about cash.
Mum: What cash are you on about?
Little Red Riding Hood: Cash, money, notes. You know? If it's easier for you, you can transfer it to my card using my phone number.
Mum: Alright, alright. I'll transfer you some money, just go quickly. And don't talk to anyone on the way, be careful.
Little Red Riding Hood: I won't take the bus, it's rush hour. I'll call a taxi instead.
Mum: Suit yourself, you know best. Give my love to Grandma, tell her we miss her.
Mum leaves the room. A few minutes later, Little Red Riding Hood receives an SMS confirming the money transfer. Pleased, she orders a taxi, puts on a red puffer jacket, Chelsea boots, packs the pies into a waist bag and runs out to the entrance to wait for the taxi.
A grey Kia Rio pulls up. Red Riding Hood gets in the car, holding the pies on her lap. The driver looks at her suspiciously and sniffs.
Wolf: Little girl, little girl, what's your name?
Little Red Riding Hood: My name is Little Red Riding Hood.
Wolf: And where are you going, Little Red Riding Hood?
Little Red Riding Hood: To my grandma's, on the other side of town. I'm taking her some pies. I'm just worried I'll be late for the concert.
Wolf: What kind of pies are those? They smell delicious. Are they meat or chicken?
Little Red Riding Hood: Just ordinary pies. Could you please turn the music up?
The car starts moving. A song plays from the speakers.
Red Riding Hood looks out the window. The Wolf keeps glancing at the container of pies. The car pulls up to a tall apartment building.
Wolf: You know, Little Red Riding Hood, I don't actually work in taxis, it's just my hobby.
Little Red Riding Hood: We're here already, I need to go. I'll be late for the concert.
The Wolf looks at the girl menacingly, his eyes gleaming with cunning. A wicked plan has formed in his mind.
Wolf: Listen here, girl, either you give me those pies now and quietly go to your grandma, or I won't unlock the car door and you'll miss the concert.
Little Red Riding Hood: You can't do this! I won't give you the pies, my mum baked them for Grandma, not for the Big Bad Wolf!
Wolf: If you won't give me the pies, then I'll eat you!
Little Red Riding Hood doesn't panic. She quickly thinks of who to call for help. While the Wolf briefly looks away, she presses the car horn with all her might and screams.
Little Red Riding Hood: Help! Robbery! Police!
A police officer, Uncle Stepan, happens to be passing by. He hears the screams from the car and rushes to help.
Uncle Stepan: Citizen Wolf, what's going on here?
Wolf: Sorry, boss, everything's fine, move along.
Little Red Riding Hood: He wanted to rob me and take the pies! And he won't let me out of the car! I'm going to be late!!!
Wolf: No one's holding you, go on your way.
The Wolf opens the doors and Little Red Riding Hood gets out of the car.
Little Red Riding Hood: Thank you, Uncle Stepan, now I'll make it to Grandma's and the concert! And I'm going to give the Wolf the lowest rating for the ride and file a complaint.
Uncle Stepan: No problem, girl, hurry along. (turning to the Wolf) Well then, my friend, shall we do a breath test?
Wolf: Can't we work something out, boss?
Uncle Stepan: I'm an honest police officer, I don't take bribes. So please, blow into this.
The Wolf does as the police officer asks.
Uncle Stepan: Blimey! Who's been eating wolf's bane and then got behind the wheel? That's not good, we'll be filling out a report.
Wolf: Why did I ever get involved with this Little Red Riding Hood!
The End.
