Little Red Riding Hood by Agha Shahid Ali
Little Red Riding Hood is a poem by Agha Shahid Ali. It reworks a children’s story of Little Red
Riding Hood and gives it a new meaning. In this poem Agha Shahid Ali gives the idea how villains
and heroes are created. How stories make us believe certain things that we need to rethink.
The original story is as under:
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. Whenever she went
out, the little girl wore a red riding cloak, so everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding
Hood. One morning, Little Red Riding Hood went to visit her grandmother as it had been awhile
since they'd seen each other. As she was on her way suddenly, a wolf appeared beside her.
Then she realized how late she was and quickly excused herself, rushing down the path to her
Grandma's house. The wolf, in the meantime, took a shortcut. The wolf, a little out of breath from
running, arrived at Grandma's and knocked lightly at the door.
The wolf let himself in. Poor Granny did not have time to say another word, before the wolf
gobbled her up! The wolf let out a satisfied burp, and then poked through Granny's wardrobe to find
a nightgown that he liked. He added a frilly sleeping cap, and for good measure, dabbed some of
Granny's perfume behind his pointy ears.
A few minutes later, Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. The wolf jumped into bed and pulled
the covers over his nose. "Who is it?" he called in a cackly voice.
Almost too late, Little Red Riding Hood realized that the person in the bed was not her
Grandmother, but a hungry wolf.
She ran across the room and through the door, shouting, "Help! Wolf!" as loudly as she could.
A woodsman who was chopping logs nearby heard her cry and ran towards the cottage as fast as
he could.
He grabbed the wolf and made him spit out the poor Grandmother who was a bit frazzled by the
whole experience, but still in one piece. The grandmother was saved and the wolf got killed.
