Once upon a time there lived a girl people called Little Red Riding Hood because of the hooded cape she always wore. Red lived in a village located on the far side of the forest from her grandmother, but visited the old woman everyday. Red would bring her grandmother meals, her medicine, and news of the goings on in her village.
One day, her grandmother asked Red if she would go to the bank and bring her all the money from her savings account. a couple of her grandmother's friends visited the day before and warned of something ominous happening at the bank. 'Oh, Grandmother, what could possibly go wrong at the bank. It's been there forever. You know how those two friends of you are, always suspicious of shadows.'
'Red, they were truly upset. You know the bank stopped paying interest years ago, and now there are plans to charge us for just holding our money on account. I'm afraid I'll lose everything eventually due to these new fees the bank wants to charge. Please do your Grandmother this favor and bring all my money to me. Here's my deposit book. I've signed everything so the teller can give you the money.'
'I'll do this for you Grandmother, but I still think it's rather silly. I'll withdraw your money and bring it to you tomorrow.'
And so the next day, Little Red Riding Hood made good on her word and withdrew her grandmother's money from the bank. she set out as usual on her path through the forest with the money in her hand basket, along with other supplies her grandmother needed. What she didn't notice was the wolf who followed her out of the bank.
Once the girl was deep into the woods, the wolf made his move. 'You there, in the red hood. I want to talk to you.' Red Riding Hood stopped, but kept her distance from the wolf.
'I know you. You saw you working at the bank. What do you want with me?'
'I want you to give me back the bank's money. I know you have it in your basket.'
'Your're mistaken. I don't have the bank's money. I only have my Grandmother's money which she asked me to fetch to her. I have to go now.'
'Your Grandmother has no claim to that money. It belongs to the bank. Her money became a bank asset the minute she made her deposit, as stated in the bank savings account agreement. Read it for yourself right here.'
'The print is so small it barely blackens the paper.'
'Use my magnifying glass then. You'll see everything is stated quite clearly. Everything precise and legal. I'll take the money now.'
'Not so fast. this money came from my Grandmother's account, so you'll have to explain this all to her. I'm sure her bank papers say something completely different. She's had that account since she was a girl. Her parents opened it for her so she would have the interest in her old age.'
'Fine. But you'll see there is no interest.'
The two of them continued on the way to Grandmother's house. The wolf continued to tell her how banking had changed and if anyone is to blame it's people like her grandmother who obviously never read the letters the bank sent.
When Red and the Wolf walked into the old woman's bedroom, there stood a stranger there. A woodsman Red had never seen before. The wolf shrank back as his gaze fell on the man's gold ax.
'This is my granddaughter, Red, I was telling you about. Red, this nice young man has offered to take my money and store it for me at no charge.'
'Sorry, Granny,' said the wolf not sorry at all, 'but that isn't your money. It belongs to the bank and I've come to take it back.'
The Woodsman stepped forward and waved his gold ax over Red Riding Hood's basket. 'Mr. Wolf, I think you'll find you're mistaken. There is no cash in this basket. Take a look.'
The Woodsman statement confused Red since she had taken the money from the bank and herself put it in the basket. When she pulled off the cover, she gasped. the wolf gasped. The grandmother smiled. The woodsman grinned from ear to ear.
'What happened to the money? I demand you tell me your trickery,' shouted the wolf.
'No trickery here except for you own,' said the woodsman. Grandmother said she wanted her money, so real money is what she has in that basket.'
'But there only gold in my basket now,' sobbed Red Riding Hood.
'The only real money there is in the world,' explained the woodsman.
And so the wolf left empty-handed and the woodsman, Red Riding Hood, and her grandmother lived happily ever after. Find Out What Was In Red's Basket and How You Can Get Some by clicking here
