Little Red Riding Hood is skipping thru the forest road when she sees the big bad wolf crouched down behind a log. "My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf." The wolf jumps up and runs away. Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf againand this time he is crouched behind a bush. "My, what big ears you have Mr. Wolf." Again the wolf jumps up and runs away. About 1/4 mile down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolfagain and this time he is crouched down behind a rock."My, what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf." With that the wolf jumps up and screams, "Will you knock it off,I'm trying to poop!" Quote
