"But, neither the little girl nor the horse chauffer knew that a very big, very scary surprise was waiting for them, just around the next big curve in the dark road through the forest! A surprise so very big that they would have . . . well, we'll just have to wait and find out!
But, first, there's something I just have to tell you! It's all about . . . Grandma! The "Big Bush Landing" will just have to wait!

Grandma
You should meet "Grandma" You would love to meet Grandma! You see, Grandma is, well, er, "different." How do I tell you . . .? Let's see . . .
Just listen, I think you'll see what I'm trying to tell you in a moment.
There are things about Grandma that make her, well, they make her 'look' uh, well, just different. Take her nose - (yes! please, take it!). Besides a gray, hairy look, it is quite long. In fact, it's verryy long! And, it's black on the end! Besides her sharp, gleaming, white teeth, uh, er, well - I think you'd probably notice her nose!
Oh yes! Her eyes, too! Now there's something just a little too bright about Grandma's eyes! Some folk even claim they sparkle in the dark!
Have you ever seen a grandma with paws? I tell you, she's very different!
But, if you really, really, I mean, really, love your grandma, well, then it's Ok for her to be 'different,' right? OK, then, she can even have her long, bushy, soft tail! And, in fact, that long, soft tail is one thing Miss Riding Wolffe likes best about Grandma! She loves to curl up in it and feel so cuddly she falls to sleep almost instantly!
If you were Red Riding Wolffe, you'd really like Grandma's little house, deep in the dark woods, in a very tall, big tree that is hollow, by a tiny brook that babbles merrily by.

Grandpa used to live here, too, but he's been in Heaven for years, now. Should I tell you about him, now? The part about the Thorny Landing could wait for awhile, I suppose?
No!? Ok, very well, I'll finish about Grandma, first! What do you suppose Grandma likes best to do here, in her little cottage? Three guesses.
How about a clue? It has something to do with music. . . . Want another? Uh, well, there are . . . many singers.
Yep! You guessed it, She choir director for the howling, er, I mean "Harmonizing Felines - OOPS! that's cats, I mean, the Harmonizing Canines! You should hear them on a full moon night OOOOUUUUGGGHHHHH - AAA - OOOOUUUUGGGGHHHHrrrr! Baby, it gets real spooky!
Now, how's that for Grandma?! Now you know why Miss Red Riding Wolffe has the last name she does, and why she looks like, well, a little wolf!
Wouldn't you like to meet Grandma Wolffe? Well, that's just what we're headed for, well, after we find out the BIG Surprise is, IF we can get past it!

After crossing safely over the stream, on the little ferry boat that Creator stopped to save the Salmon Family, when Red Riding Wolffe asked Him to, Mr. Neigh! was rather quiet as he drove the Green Hornet, except for his whinny-like whistling. He was remembering many other trips he had made right to where he was taking his little friend now.
Many years before, one of the best friends he ever had, lived with his mother and father in the tiny, quiet forest cottage, by the little stream. He was just a little colt, way back in those times. His friend, who married Red Riding Wolffe's grandma, was a young wolf pup, in those days, and the two young friends loved to gallivant for long hours through the deep forest, laughing, playing tricks on the squirrels, the deer, and even Mr's Black Bear! (She always scolded them(If she could catch them!), and sounded very stern, but she actually enjoyed the pranks - until they pulled her berry bushes down, one day!(Then she really scolded them!)).
Mr. Neigh!'s mind was dreaming along . . . that is until he came around a big turn in the road, and wham! There 'She' was!

Now, if you ever, and I mean . . . "Ever," saw a mad Mrs. Moose, well I don't think you have, but, if you did, that's what Mr. Neigh! and Little Red Riding Wolffe very suddenly, right in the middle of the road, almost ran into! I say! We're talking two VERY surprised folk here!
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" screamed Riding Wolffe. "You'll hit her!"
