Li’l Red Riding in the Hood

by Nishant Kulkarni

Once upon a time in Brooklyn lived a young, sweet, eight year old who was appreciated by
every single soul on the planet, but most of all by her favorite grandma. The old loving grandma
would buy her li’l child anything. Once she gave her a red hoodie made out of the finest cotton,
which suited the girl so nicely that she wouldn’t wear anything else. So in time, she came to be
known simply as ‘Red’ or ‘Li’l Red Riding Hood’.

Red had never had a real mom, she only had a stepmom. Her stepmom always said to her,
“You go and do your work missy. You need to finish your chores. And don’t you dare to go on the
streets.” Her stepmother was not her grandma. She was very mean to Red Riding in the Hood.
However, this one time, her stepmom was allowing Red to go on the streets to go to her
grandma’s house.

She told Red, “Here’s some cash, you are gonna take it to your grandma, she’s very old so
she really needs it. Now you better be careful on the streets. Do not run when you cross, don’t go
into any corners, and do not even think about getting into those small alleys, and when you reach
grandma’s house, remember to be polite.”
 “I got this momma, I won’t mess this one up!”. Li’l Red was very, very exited when she
promised this to her mother. Her grandma lived three blocks from her house, which was about five
hundred meters. Just as Red was riding in the hood, she met a man. Red didn’t know what a evil
creature this man was, and was not afraid of this man at all.

“Yo girl, they call me W-Dawg round here. What’s yo name girl?” Said W.

“My name is Red Riding Hood.”

“Where you going in such heat?”

“To my Grandma’s.”

“What you got there in yo pocket?” “Oh, that is some cash my momma gave me. My poor
grandma has been sick these days. She needs to look after herself.”

“And where’s yo grandma’s crib, Red Riding Hood?

“My momma said she lives three blocks away from this traffic light you see on the right. Her
house is right next to the local 7/11 and below an office called NYCTC. I think you should know
where her house is,” replied Red.

W thought to himself, “Such a lovely tender human! Imagine if I rob her. Then I can rob the
old woman too. Maybe Imma kidnap the young one and then threaten the old woman. That is a
real good plan.”

W strolled around the streets for a short time beside Red Riding Hood. As W was walking
he said, “See, Red, look how tasty them candies in the store are. Here, why don’t you look
around? They must have the biggest lollipops in the world. You better move now ‘fore them
candies are finished.”

Red looked carefully at the store. It did say it had the best lollies in the world. Red saw a
giant slushy and she saw the cheapest candies you could ever buy in the whole city. As she was
seeing this she thought, “What if I take one for my grandma. That would please her too. It is very
cheap and the shopkeeper looks very friendly.”

So she ran straight from the street to the candy shop to look for sweets. Whichever candy
she chose, she always found a prettier candy which would just make her go deeper and deeper
into her own thoughts.

Meanwhile W went straight to grandma’s house. W imitated Red’s voice.

W said, “It’s Red Riding Hood grandma, can you please open the door?”

The old grandma replied, “Come in darling, it’s already open.”

As soon as W came in, he hit grandma hard with a wooden plank he had found on his way
up. Red’s Grandma was unconscious. Now W dressed himself in grandma’s clothes and also put
her cap on. He was waiting for Red Riding Hood to come to him.

However, Li’l Red Riding Hood was at the candy store picking candies for her grandma.
Now she had gathered so many candies that she couldn’t even carry them in her hands. She
remembered grandma, and now she was again on her way to her house.
 Now Li’l Red Riding Hood was at Grandma’s front door. However, she saw that the door
was open. Red went inside and said, “I’m home, Grandma.”

She received no reply. As she went in Grandma’s bedroom, she saw someone in
grandma’s clothes.

“Oh! Granny,' she said, 'What happened to your hearing aid?”

“Now I can hear you better, my child,” was the reply.

“But, grandma, what happened to your walking stick!” she said.

“Now I can walk you around, my dear.”

“But, grandma, your hands are so big now.”

“Now I can hug you better, my girl.”

“Granny, what’s that the wooden plank in your hand?”

“Now I can WHOOP YO ASS!”

And now, very scarily, W started appearing from grandma’s costume. Red started
screaming and then she approached the window. As Red approached the window, W leaped right
towards Red but Red ducked so W leaped through the window. It took Red two minutes to realize
what had just happened; then she heard a faint voice.

“Red, it’s all over now. Come, I will give you some of my freshly baked cookies.” It was her
grandma’s voice that she was hearing.

The only thing that mattered to Red was Grandma, with whom she was enjoying freshly
baked cookies.

IV. Read the article on General Community Quarantine (GCQ) and Enhanced Community
Quarantine (ECQ). Use the VENN diagram to show similarities and differences.

The government has announced another extension of Enhanced Community

Quarantine (ECQ) which will end on May 15, 2020. However, some regions,

particularly those with a low risk of COVID-19 cases will be under General

Community Quarantine (GCQ). To understand further, let's explore the differences

between ECQ AND GCQ.

Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) specifies the following:

1. Everyone is required to STAY AT HOME. If possible, only one member of the household should
go out to buy necessities.

2. Suspension of public transportation such as trains (LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3, and PNR), jeepneys,
buses, taxis, FX, UV Express, and TNVS (Grab, etc.).
3. Suspension of work, except for front liners.

4. Establishments that provide basic necessities will remain open. Shopping malls are closed.

5. Everyone is required to wear a mask especially when going to public places.

6. Permanent residents of the Philippines are allowed to return from abroad but should be in home
quarantine. Filipinos in the country are not allowed to travel abroad.

General Community Quarantine (GCQ) specifies the following:

1. Public transportation will be allowed, but passengers shall observe social distancing.

2. Malls will be opened but with restrictions. Proper wearing of masks and temperature checks are
needed upon entering.

3. Airports will be opened for transferring of goods.

4. Senior citizens and high-health risk persons will still be required to stay at home.

5. Offices will be opened, but only limited to certain industries.
