[MUSIC PLAYING]
PRAIRIE DAWN: Hi, this is Prairie Dawn, on location
for Fairy Tales Today.
I am reporting to you from outside this house
in the woods, where just a few moments ago, a chance meeting
between Little Red Riding Hood and the Big, Bad Wolf
ended in tears.
Joining us now for an exclusive interview is Mr. Wolf.
Mr. Wolf, Mr. Wolf, can you tell us, why are you crying?
MR. WOLF: [SOBBING] Well, all I was doing
was sleeping in my bed, when this little girl in a red hood
walks into my house and started calling me names and making
fun of me!
[HYSTERICAL SOBBING]
PRAIRIE DAWN: Oh, my, well, what did she say?
MR. WOLF: Well, first, she called me granny.
I don't even know what she meant by it.
But I didn't like it, and it hurt my feelings.
Then she started to make fun of me!
[SOBBING]
PRAIRIE DAWN: Oh, dear, dear, dear.
Well, what did she do?
MR. WOLF: She said to me, what a big nose you have!
And what big ears you have!
That was all I could stand.
I ran out of there crying.
[SOBBING]
PRAIRIE DAWN: Well, who can blame you?
It is not nice when people call you names and make fun of you.
MR. WOLF: No, it is not!
And I didn't know how to make her stop saying those things,
and so I just ran out of there!
[SOBBING]
PRAIRIE DAWN: Oh, wow.
Well, you should tell her how you feel!
You should say to her, I like who I am!
And it makes me sad when you call me granny and tell me
I have big ears and a big nose.
So don't do it!
MR. WOLF: Yeah!
I'll try that.
Uh-oh, here she comes now!
PRAIRIE DAWN: You are seeing it here first, folks.
The wolf is going to tell Little Red Riding Hood
that she hurt his feelings!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Ooh, there you are!
I didn't finish saying what I was saying.
Granny, what big teeth you have!
MR. WOLF: Hold it right there!
I like who I am.
And it makes sad when you tell me
I have big ears and a big nose, and big teeth.
So please don't do it.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, [SARCASTICALLY]
granny.
MR. WOLF: Then stop calling me granny!
I'm not your granny.
I'm a wolf.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: You are?
MR. WOLF: Yeah!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Well, if you're not granny,
what are you doing granny's house?
MR. WOLF: This isn't granny's house.
This is my house.
Granny lives on The next block.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: She does?
MR. WOLF: Yeah.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Oh, my mistake.
Oh, I'm sorry for the name thing there, Mr. Wolf.
Bye!
MR. WOLF: That's OK, kid.
Say hi to granny for me!
PRAIRIE DAWN: Well, I guess that wraps up
our exclusive interview with the big, bad wolf.

PRAIRIE DAWN: Lester?
MR. WOLF: Lester Wolf.
And you really hurt my feelings by calling me big and bad!
[SOBBING]
PRAIRIE DAWN: Oh, I am so sorry!
I just thought you were the big, bad wolf.
You know, the famous one!

I'm nothing like him!
