    Vohrenbach, Germany --- A vicious wolf devoured a little girl and her grandmother earlier this week, leading the community to be more cautious in the watch for potential danger lurking behind every tree.

    While a young girl was walking to her grandmother’s house, she was deceived by a wolf, which lead to her and her grandmother finding themselves in grave danger. Commonly known as Red Riding Hood, this young girl headed out early Sunday morning to deliver wine and cake to her ill grandmother who lived deep in the Black Forest, thirty miles southeast of Strasbourg.

    Along the way, Hood was approached by a wolf, by the name of Mozart, who took great interest in Hood. According to local authorities, Mozart asked her where her grandmother lived. “Whither away so early, Little Red Riding Hood?”, he apparently asked her.

    After distracting Hood with flowers, Mozart snuck into Hood’s grandmother’s house and proceeded to swallow Hood’s grandmother, whom he then disguised himself as.

    Unfortunately, Hood said she “failed to recognize that my grandma was actually a wolf. We talked for awhile, but when Mozart revealed himself and ate me, well, surprised does not even begin to describe how I felt”. With both Hood and her grandmother trapped within Mozart’s stomach, Gaston, a huntsman, happened to stumble upon the seemingly vacant house.

    Curious, Gaston entered the house, discovering the napping wolf. Gaston proceeded to cut open the wolf’s stomach, freeing Hood and her grandmother. “Noticing the bulge in the wolf’s stomach, I immediately knew something was amiss.

    After slicing the wolf’s belly open, I saw two ladies. Fortunately, these women escaped this ordeal unscathed.” Gaston said.

    Rest assured, Little Red Riding Hood said she “took care of the wolf by filling his stomach with stones before sewing him back up”. The weight of the stones caused the wolf to fall to his death upon regaining consciousness.

    Both Red Riding Hood and Grandma are safe. Medical officials say there were no major injuries and they should be fully recovered early next week. Local authorities advise the general population to remain away from the black forest until this situation is fully investigated by the police.

  2. Circle of Death
    By: Ethan Chiu, Caterina Baffa, Colin Jemerson
    Springfield -- On Friday, a triple murder took place in the small village of Springfield, Pigville. In response, investigators took a pig into questioning last Monday.
    The three citizens were killed in the tragic string of events were two pigs, Porky Porkchops and Hamilton McDeliham, as well as the wolf George Sampson. Before the murders took place, Porkchops and McDeliham had recently finished constructing their new homes: Porkchops’ out of straw, and McDeliham’s out of sticks. Sampson has been wanted for 2 years now for aggravated assault and murder, particularly among the local pigtweens.
    Due to his criminal history and physical evidence, Sampson is believed to have taken part in both Porkchops’ and McDeliham’s deaths, but the police remain baffled at the cause of Sampson’s death. All they know is that Sampson’s limited remains were found at Applewood Smokedbacon’s meager, brick house. Smokedbacon, the elder brother of the late Porkchops and McDeliham, is currently in police custody.
    Farmer Joe witnessed Porkchops’ murder. “I saw the wolf known as Sampson gorging on something, and didn’t realize it was poor little Porky,” the farmer said. “It was a bloodbath, and I should have sold him more sturdy material for his house. I will probably go home and asphyxiate myself out of guilt.”
    Currently, investigators hypothesize that there was conflict between Porkchops and Sampson, as well as between McDeliham and Sampson. In response to these confrontations, Sampson destroyed both pigs’ homes prior to devouring them.
    Woodsman Joseph overheard the discussion between Sampson and McDeliham before McDeliham’s death from his forest home. “I heard Sampson threaten to blow McDeliham’s house in when he refused to let him in,” the Woodsman said. “Afterwards, what I heard was not pleasant.”
    Whether or not Smokedbacon is involved in the death of Sampson, investigators are still unsure. Either way, authorities assure that justice will be delivered.

    Rugen Island-- What started as a dispute over rampions has turned
    bitter after a missing girl was found after being lost for over 20 years.

    Last Monday Rapunzel, 20, returned to her hometown of Rugen Island, Germany after being held captive in a tower for over 15 years. She claims to have been taken as a young child by an enchantress and was held in a tower until last week when the prince of Rugen Island emerged from the forest with Rapunzel and their two young children.

    Rapunzel’s parents, Hans and Greta, had not seen her since she was born twenty years ago. They admit to making a deal with the Enchantress for her life saving rampions however, were shocked to hear the details of where their daughter was held.

    “I will remember exactly when I first saw the prince. It was about five years ago, he came to the tower where I was held multiple times. Eventually we planned to marry, but then the enchantress found out and banished me to the dessert.” Rapunzel says “I really just found out that when she banished me the enchantress also blinded the prince”

    Rapunzel reportedly wandered in the desert for five years with her twins, when the Prince found her by hearing her sing, haven sharpened hearing skills since he lost his eyesight. “I am so fortunate that one of the twins began to cry so I sang her a lullaby” Rapunzel said “Without that the prince would have never heard me and saved us.”

    The reported abductor is said to be an enchantress, who is 150 years old, approximately four and half feet tall with gray wispy hair and a severe case of scoliosis. Authorities are still unsure of the location of this woman but have sent out multiple search parties and are making progress.
