Ring Lardner Tonight: Bed-Time Stories -- "Red Riding Hood"

"This special police dog was like the most of them and hated everybody." Uh-oh, watch out, Grandma!

"One or two times they was a little gal that lived in the suburbs who they called her little Red Riding Hood because she always wore a red riding hood in the hopes that sometime a fresh guy in a high power roadster would pick her up and take her riding."

-- from Ring Lardner's "Red Riding Hood"

Tonight we come to the third and last installment in our miniseries of Lardner "Bed-Time Stories": his utterly Ring-esque recounting of "Red Riding Hood." -- Ken
