For my Spanish Conversation class here in Córdoba, Argentina we had to rewrite a fairy tale and pretty much take the story where ever we wanted to and present it at the end of class. So, my friend Sonia and I decided to write about Red Riding Hood, but about 10-15 years after the first story took place. The first part is the Spanish version and the second part is the translated English version. I hope you enjoy reading it. :)
*Side note: Fernet and Gancia are popular liquors in Argentina.*
Había una vez, una chica que se llamaba Caperucita Roja. Iba saltando por el bosque para un boliche esa noche. Llevaba un vestido rojo, corto, y muy lindo. Ella también llevaba botas largas. Tenía una canasta llena de Fernet y Gancia porque no había bebido antes de salir de la casa.
Después de cruzar el río del oro, se encontró con un lobo malo. El lobo dijo, "¡Que hermosa! Me gustan tus piernas." El lobo trató besarla.
Entonces, Caperucita Roja dió una patada de karateka como Chuck Norris en su cara. Ella pasó por arriba del lobo y fue al boliche con su canasta llena de licor.
No era la primera vez que ella trataba con un lobo malo ni era el último.
**La moraleja del cuento es Walker Texas Ranger es un buen niñero.**
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Red Riding Hood. She was skipping through the forest towards the club that night. She was wearing a short red dress that was very lovely. She was also wearing thigh high boots. She had a basket full of Fernet and Gancia because she had not drank before leaving the house.
After crossing the Golden River, she met a bad wolf. The wolf said, "How beautiful! I like your legs." The wolf tried to kiss her.
Then, Red Riding Hood gave a round-house kick, like Chuck Norris, to his face. She walked over the wolf and went to the club with her basket full of liquor.
It was not the first time she met a bad wolf and it would not be the last.
**The moral of the story is Walker Texas Ranger is a great babysitter.**
