It was a beautiful sunny day. Little Red Riding Hood was walking through the woods listening to her iPod because she was going to play some videogames with her grandmother.
She was really concentrating because her mother had warned her that there was a wolf in the woods.
Suddenly the woolf appeared with a blank contract for a new mobile telephone:
- Oh Little Red Riding Hood, look at the latest mobile phone which has a video camera with a wifi connection to the internet. So you will be able to send and receive e-mails.
Little Red Riding Hood wondered how the wolf had got a reputation as a tycoon because the mobile phone was very old fashioned and out of date. Her own smart phone was probably better than the wolf ‘s.
- Take away that rubbish! Mine is much better! - Little Red Riding Hood said.
The wolf was disappointed and decided to go to her grandmother’s cottage to sell her the pone before Little Red Riding Hood could get her, otherwise he would not sell the phone. But Little Red Riding Hood was already ringing her grandmother to tell her not to open the door.
Later, when Little Red Riding Hood arrived and went in to see her grandmother she saw the wolf in the bed
-Oh, what a big Nintendo you have! - Little Red Riding Hood said.
-All the better to play with you! - The wolf answered.
-What big headphones you have! - Little Red Riding Hood said.
-All the better to hear you with! -The wolf answered.
But Little Red Riding Hood was too clever for the woolf and she threw a memory stick out of the window and the wolf jumped out of bed to chase it.
Little Red Riding Hood closed the window quickly and shouted to her grandmother that it was safe to come out of the cupboard.
It all goes to show that you should never try to sell an old-fashioned mobile to a street- wise teenage girl.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Snow White. Her father had married a woman who would spend all day checking her facebook account to see if she was the most beautiful in the world since she didn’t trust her magic mirror.
On her 18th birthday her stepmother discovered that Snow White had more online friends than her so she hacked her GPS. This way she would get lost in the forest when she went for her daily walk.
Walking round the forest she found a little house where seven dwarfs lived. She asked them the way to her house but, as they didn’t have a wifi connection, they knew next to nothing about the outside world. Then she decided to stay with them and help with the running of their gold mine because she would like to set up her own jewellery business.
One day she found an iPhone so she decided to sell the jewels on the net. Everything was going well until her stepmother saw her website and decided to get rid of her forever. She put on her maid’s dress and made for the forest to give Snow White a poisonous apple. When the girl bit it she fell in a very deep sleep, which made the dwarfs think she had died. They put her in a glass coffin in the middle of the forest. While they were mourning her a group of people riding motorbikes appeared, among them there was a prince who had fallen in love with her after seeing her photograph on facebook. He gave her a goodbye kiss. Suddenly Snow White woke up because the antidote to the poison in the apple was a true love kiss.
After having got married Snow White went to live in the prince’s penthouse in Paris where she became a famous jewel designer.
And they lived happily ever after…

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a castle with her evil half-sisters and her stepmother. She spent the day cleaning and tyding the castle but one night she came across a laptop. While surfing the net she found a fairy godmother who could grant wishes. She sent her an email asking her for an invitation to go to a big celebration party which was going to take place in the castle.
At night she went to bed without giving more thought to the wish she had asked for.The next day her half-sisters and her stepmother went to the party while she stayed at home. She was cleaning busily when she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it she saw the fairy godmother with her stylist and her designers. They changed her lookand made her wear a Chanel dress and Manolo Blatnik shoes. The fairy godmother also gave her a magic credit card and a Porsche.
She went to the party where she met Cristiano and all the Real Madrid football players. Of course she fell in love with Cristiano Ronaldo and a spell from the godmother together with a drop of Cristiano’s blood were all that was needed for a perfect happy end.
