A CCA bedtime story
By Linda Felaco
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named
Red Riding Hood who lived on an organic farm in the woods near the Great Swamp,
in a passive solar house built out of native granite.
One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother filled a basket
with honey, eggs, bramble fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowering perennials
and told Little Red Riding Hood, “Ride your little bicycle to Grandma’s house and
bring her this nice basket full of organic food we grew here on the farm.”
Now, Little Red Riding Hood didn’t know it, but an elderly
millionaire wolf had killed and eaten her Grandma in order to “flip” her
elderly affordable housing rental unit. When Little Red Riding Hood arrived at
Grandma’s house, the wolf was dressed in her Grandma’s nightie and lying in her
bed.
But the elderly millionaire wolf had left his asset
portfolio lying on the nightstand, and when Little Red Riding Hood approached
the bed to give her Grandma the basket of organic goodies, she saw the
portfolio and cried out, “Grandma, what big assets you have!”
Luckily, just at that moment, Woodsman George was passing by
and heard Little Red Riding Hood’s cry. He climbed through the window and hacked
the big bad elderly millionaire wolf to pieces with his hatchet and took his
assets. Little Red Riding Hood was so thankful that she gave the woodsman the
basket of organic goodies.
