SCRIPT:
SCENE I – IN THE FOREST
(Teen Wolf is hiding behind a large tree. He looks nervous and keeps peeking around it. A Man enters, carrying a small bag.)
TEEN WOLF: Psst! Psst! Hey, you! Over here!
(The Man stops and looks in both directions.)
MAN: Who? Me?
TEEN WOLF: Yes, you! Come closer!
MAN: What do you want?
TEEN WOLF: Have you seen her?
MAN: Seen who?
TEEN WOLF: You know… that little girl… the one with the red hooded cape!
MAN: No, I haven’t seen anybody. Why?
TEEN WOLF: Are you sure? Look around! Check behind those bushes! And please, don’t make any sudden movements!
MAN: Why are you hiding?
TEEN WOLF: That’s a very long story. Is it safe for me to come out?
(The Man looks around.)
MAN: I don’t see anyone. Come on out!
(Teen Wolf slowly comes out from behind the tree.)
MAN: There you are! Now, tell me. What’s the matter? Why are you so frightened?
TEEN WOLF: Frightened? Me? I’m not frightened! I’m just… being careful.
MAN: Of course. And what are you being careful about?
TEEN WOLF: It’s that little girl! She’s dangerous!
MAN: Dangerous? A little girl?
TEEN WOLF: Don’t let her sweet little face fool you!
MAN: Well, now you’ve made me curious. Why don’t we sit under that tree and you can tell me everything?
(They sit under a tree. The Man takes a bottle of water from his bag.)
MAN: Would you like some water?
TEEN WOLF: No, thank you. I’m too upset to drink anything.
MAN: All right. So, what’s this terrible story?
TEEN WOLF: Do you see this beautiful forest?
MAN: Certainly! It’s a lovely place.
TEEN WOLF: Well, this forest used to be my home! I lived here for years, and I loved every little corner of it. I always tried to keep it clean and beautiful.
MAN: Really? That’s wonderful! I don’t see anything wrong with this place. It looks very clean.
TEEN WOLF: That’s because I worked very hard! I picked up trash, watered the trees, and took care of the flowers. Oh, my beautiful flowers!
MAN: Your flowers?
TEEN WOLF: Yes! Anyway, one beautiful sunny morning, while I was picking up some trash left by careless visitors, I heard footsteps approaching.
MAN: Just like mine?
TEEN WOLF: Exactly! I immediately hid behind a tree. And then I saw her!
MAN: Little Red Riding Hood?
TEEN WOLF: The very same! She was wearing a beautiful blue dress and a red hooded cape. She looked like a sweet little angel!
MAN: So, what’s wrong with that?
TEEN WOLF: Just wait! You haven’t heard the worst part!
MAN: All right. I’m listening.
TEEN WOLF: First, she started picking my flowers!
MAN: Your flowers again?
TEEN WOLF: Yes! She didn’t even ask permission! She just picked them and put them in her basket!
MAN: Well, technically, the flowers weren’t yours either.
TEEN WOLF: What do you mean they weren’t mine? I took care of them!
MAN: Taking care of something doesn’t mean you own it.
TEEN WOLF: Hmmm… I don’t like the way this conversation is going.
MAN: Never mind. What happened next?
TEEN WOLF: I decided to find out who she was and where she was going. So I approached her and asked her a few questions.
MAN: And what did she say?
TEEN WOLF: Nothing! She just started singing and dancing! Jumping here, jumping there, spinning around like a little windmill!
MAN: Perhaps she was happy.
TEEN WOLF: Happy? She was destroying my garden!
MAN: Go on.
TEEN WOLF: Finally, she told me she was going to visit her grandmother because she was sick. She said the flowers would cheer her up.
MAN: That’s actually very thoughtful.
TEEN WOLF: That’s what I thought at first! But then… I saw something terrible!
MAN: What happened?
TEEN WOLF: She spotted a little squirrel sitting on a branch. And do you know what she did?
MAN: What?
TEEN WOLF: She picked up a stone and threw it at the poor little animal!
MAN: Oh, that’s terrible!
TEEN WOLF: I was furious! This forest is home to so many animals! They deserve to live in peace!
MAN: I agree with you. Nobody should hurt innocent animals.
TEEN WOLF: Finally! Someone understands me!
MAN: But what did you do?
TEEN WOLF: I decided to teach her a lesson!
MAN: What kind of lesson?
TEEN WOLF: Well, I couldn’t just let her get away with it! So, as soon as she left, I went straight to her grandmother’s house.
MAN: You went to see her grandmother?
TEEN WOLF: Of course! Somebody had to tell her what her granddaughter was doing!
MAN: And what did her grandmother say?
TEEN WOLF: She agreed with me! She said her granddaughter needed to learn how to behave. So, we came up with a brilliant plan!
MAN: A brilliant plan? I’m beginning to worry.
TEEN WOLF: Her grandmother suggested hiding in the closet while I put on her clothes and got into bed. We were going to give Little Red Riding Hood a little surprise!
MAN: You dressed up as her grandmother?
TEEN WOLF: Yes! And I must say, I looked fabulous!
MAN: I can hardly imagine that.
TEEN WOLF: Well, you should have seen me! The nightgown was a little too small, but the cap was lovely!
MAN: All right. What happened when the girl arrived?
TEEN WOLF: She entered the room, looked at me, and immediately started making rude comments!
MAN: What did she say?
TEEN WOLF: First, she said I had enormous ears!
MAN: Well, you do have rather big ears.
TEEN WOLF: Excuse me! I didn’t ask for your opinion!
MAN: Sorry. Go on.
TEEN WOLF: Then she said my eyes were enormous!
MAN: They’re quite big, too.
TEEN WOLF: Would you please stop interrupting me?
MAN: All right, all right!
TEEN WOLF: So I told her, “I have big ears to hear you better, and big eyes to see you better!”
MAN: That’s a very familiar answer.
TEEN WOLF: And then she said I had enormous teeth!
MAN: Well, you do have impressive teeth.
TEEN WOLF: IMPRESSIVE? They’re HUGE! I even went to see a dentist once, but he couldn’t do anything about them!
MAN: Perhaps you should try another dentist.
TEEN WOLF: Oh, very funny!
MAN: So, what happened next?
TEEN WOLF: I became so angry that I jumped out of bed and shouted, “I have big teeth to EAT YOU!”
MAN: You did WHAT?
TEEN WOLF: I didn’t mean it! I was just trying to scare her!
MAN: And did it work?
TEEN WOLF: Of course! She started screaming and running around the room!
MAN: I wonder why!
TEEN WOLF: I tried to calm her down, but the more I talked, the louder she screamed!
MAN: I suppose you weren’t helping very much.
TEEN WOLF: Suddenly, the door burst open, and a woodcutter came rushing inside carrying a huge axe!
MAN: Oh, my goodness!
TEEN WOLF: I was terrified! I jumped out of bed, ran straight through the window, and escaped into the forest!
MAN: That must have been quite an adventure.
TEEN WOLF: An adventure? It was a disaster! And now everybody thinks I’m a terrible wolf!
MAN: Well, perhaps threatening to eat a little girl wasn’t the best way to solve the problem.
TEEN WOLF: But she started it! She picked my flowers, threw stones at a squirrel, insulted my ears, laughed at my eyes, and made fun of my teeth!
MAN: I understand that you were upset. But you should have explained why her behavior was wrong instead of frightening her.
TEEN WOLF: Hmmm… Perhaps you’re right.
(They hear someone singing in the distance.)
TEEN WOLF: Wait! Did you hear that?
MAN: Yes. Someone is coming.
(Footsteps are heard.)
TEEN WOLF: Oh, no! It’s her! I recognize that awful song! That’s the same song she was singing that terrible day!
(Teen Wolf quickly hides behind the tree.)
MAN: Where are you going?
TEEN WOLF: I’m leaving! And if you value your life, stay away from that little girl!
MAN: Wait a minute! I haven’t finished talking to you!
(Little Red Riding Hood enters, happily singing.)
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Oh! There you are! Did you find him?
(The Man suddenly grabs Teen Wolf by the arm and pulls him out from behind the tree.)
TEEN WOLF: Hey! What’s going on? Let me go!
MAN: We were looking for you!
TEEN WOLF: Looking for me? But… wait a minute! Now I remember! You’re the woodcutter! You’re the one who chased me out of the house!
MAN: That’s right! And this time, you’re not getting away!
(Grandmother enters.)
MAN: Is this the wolf who entered your house, locked you in the closet, and threatened to eat your granddaughter?
GRANDMOTHER: Yes! That’s the one!
TEEN WOLF: Wait! Wait! That’s not how it happened!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Oh, yes, it is! You frightened me half to death!
TEEN WOLF: And what about my flowers? And the poor squirrel? What about my ears? And my teeth?
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Your teeth?
TEEN WOLF: Yes! Nobody ever says anything nice about my teeth!
MAN: That’s enough! You’re coming with us!
(The Man ties Teen Wolf’s hands.)
TEEN WOLF: Where are you taking me?
MAN: Somewhere you won’t be able to frighten anybody again!
TEEN WOLF: No! Please! You have to believe me! I’m innocent! I tell you, I’m INNOCENT!
(The Man, Little Red Riding Hood, and Grandmother lead Teen Wolf away.)
TEEN WOLF: My flowers! My beautiful flowers! And somebody please tell that girl to stop singing!
(They disappear. Lights fade.)
SCENE II – AT THE WOLF’S CAVE
(Teen Wolf is sleeping peacefully in his bed. Suddenly, an alarm clock rings loudly.)
TEEN WOLF: Aaaah! No! Don’t take me away! I’m innocent! I’m innocent!
(He jumps out of bed, looking terrified. He looks around and realizes he is in his cave.)
TEEN WOLF: What? Where am I?
(He looks around, then notices his alarm clock.)
TEEN WOLF: Oh! It was just a nightmare!
(He takes a deep breath and wipes his forehead.)
TEEN WOLF: What a terrible dream! I really have to stop eating pork chops before going to bed!
(He turns off the alarm clock, gets comfortable under his blanket, and closes his eyes.)
TEEN WOLF: Now, where was I? Oh, yes… my beautiful flowers!
(He falls asleep again.)
THE END
AUTHOR: K I D S I N C O
Conclusion: Teen Wolf in the Forest gives a humorous twist to the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. Through the wolf’s unusual version of events, children discover that misunderstandings can happen when people fail to respect one another. Although Teen Wolf has good reasons to care about the forest and its animals, his decision to frighten Little Red Riding Hood only makes things worse. The story reminds us that kindness, understanding, and peaceful communication are always better than anger and revenge.
