It&#8217;s also got a bit of danger thrown in right in the middle &#8230; the Big Bad Wolf has quite a full belly, filled with three pigs, bricks, sticks, straw, Peter (who cried wolf), Grandma, and even Little Red Riding Hood.<\/p>\n<p>But wait &#8230; I have to admit to some confusion here &#8230; so if the wolf&#8217;s belly is so very populated, how does Little Red get out to alert the hunter ahead of her? I know this is the magic of fiction, and I&#8217;m probably being too literal in my old age, but someone \u00a0please do enlighten me once you&#8217;ve had a look, too &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, it&#8217;s off we go around the universe.
