Little Blue Naughty Dude and the Big Good Wolf

By Jim Sheng
Once upon a time, there was a famous little boy called Little Blue Naughty Dude. Everybody called him that because he always wore his blue hood while stealing groceries from the stores.  One day, Little red riding hood (Little blue naughty dude's mother) asked the little blue naughty dude to go out into the woods and send his grandma some cake and milk. Little blue naughty dude hated his grandma because she always called him cutie pie, and he hated it.  So he sneaked out into the woods and met up with the "big bad wolf", and said, "If you team up with me, you will get to eat a fat grandma for your lunch."  "Really?!" replied the wolf.  "Of course.
