The Phenomenon of Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, Red Riding Hood was on her way to her grandmother’s house in the woods. Her mother had told her earlier that to get to her grandmother’s house she had to walk pass through the wood cutter house that kept a wolf as a pet. As soon as she walked pass by the wood cutter house, she would hear the scary bark from the wolf and being chased by the wolf while listening to the sound of the wood cutter chopping the logs. The scene was repeatedly occurring every time she passes the woodcutter house. 

After a short while, Red Riding Hood had been conditioned to be scared of wolf, not only that she was also scared of anything that has similar features as the wolf such as fur, fangs and barks.  Every time she hears the sound of the wood cutter chopping the logs, she would anticipate the presence of the wolf thus; she would be scared and ran to her grandmother’s house quickly. Then, even when the sight of dogs that is similar to the feature of wolf she would be so scared and will come running to her mother. After a while, she realizes that the dog is actually different from the wolf, so she is no longer scared of the dog. 

One day Red Riding Hood was passing by, then she heard the sound of logs being cut and she was afraid but still brave enough to pass through the route, but then half way pass the route she heard the wolf scary bark and was so scared that she ran away home. Long after the incident happened, she went through the same route to visit her grandmother. Strangely there was only the sound of barking but the wolf did not appear. Day by day she passes through the route with the wolf still barking but the wolf still didn’t materialized, as a result she became immune to the barking and eventually the wolf itself. 

Came a day when Red Riding Hood was visiting her grandmother as usual but this time the barking got scarier and louder, out of the sudden the wolf materialized and chased her. Once again she was traumatized by the wolf. As Red Riding Hood was traumatized by the wolf, she was determined to visit her grandmother’s house using a different route. She was crossing the stream when she tripped over a big rock, wounded her leg badly and drops her precious necklace that was given by her late father. Out of sudden a different wolf appeared, jump into the stream to get her necklace. The wolf then came out of the stream and places her necklace in front of her, it then slowly approaches her and lick her wound. After the experience Red riding Hood was cured from her trauma of wolves. THE END.
