Guess the Fairytale!!

To Granny’s house I bring sweet treats,

Along the path, who should I meet?

My hood of red has caught his eye,

I cannot blend with earth and sky.

What if my hood were sewn with blue?

Would Wolfie still know what to do?

Like sky and seas, it calms the mind,

I wouldn’t then be in this bind!

What if my hood were sewn with green?

Would Wolfie still create a scene?

Like grass and trees, it cools our thoughts,

To then behave as we are taught.

What if my hood were sewn with brown?

Would Wolfie then remove that frown?

Like sand and soil, it soothes our fears,

So then our lives will have less tears.

It’s Mr. Wolf, ten steps ahead,

What is his plan? Will she be dead?

At Granny’s door, I’m filled with fear,

What will I find? What’s that I hear?

I grab the knob and turn it slow,

To sneak inside before he knows.

But laughing with two cups of tea,

Dear Gran and Mr. Wolf I see!

She wears a green and light blue shirt,

and pants of brown…she isn’t hurt!

I leave my hood outside the door,

A third cup, now, my granny pours!

Look at the structure...

Oh, Jack was a silly and quite lazy lad

Sent off by his mother with all that they had.

“Go sell our last cow and please bring me some cash,

So we can buy clothing and food. You must dash!”

Focus on the endings... What do you notice?
