The language of song

Julieta Venegas- Limon Y Sal 
"Once upon a time..." The story I was reading began with. It's late at night and I really want to start reading my new book I bought. I yawn and decide that I can just rest my eyes for a little bit. My eye lids close, and then I open them and jump when there is a wolf sitting in my chair across the room! "Ahhhhhhhhh! Help!" I start to scream. The wolf gets up and sits on my bed while I scream he hold out his hand and gives me a rose. I stop screaming and sit quiet. 
"I herd about you and wanted to give you this. They have said that your name is red ridding hood, is that rite?" 
I sit still and then ask "who has told you about me?" I wonder what people have been talking to this thing about me and why.  
"I overheard people talking. They said that a beautiful girl lived in the old cabin in the woods. All I wanted to do is introduce yourself. I will gt going now." He rises from the edge of my bed and walks to my door. I look back down at the deep red rose,
"Wait, I didn't get your name!" The creature has already left the house by now though. I get up fast from the bed and run outside, "Wait wait!" I continue to yell. I go in to the woods to try and find the wolf to ask him his name. "Hello? Are you in here!" I say as I look around trees and bushes. I hear a rustling in the leaves and I move slowly. "Is that you?" I say in a conscientious tone. I take another step and two pigs dressed in suits pop out of the bushes. "oh! hello! have you seen a wolf near by?" Both of the pigs look at each other and point to the left. I thank them and continue to walk left. After many minutes of walking though thick weeds I finally see a big black shadow. "There you are!" I say with excitement. "I never got your name. Whats your name?" There is no response the only sound is a deep heavy breathing. "Hello?" I put my hand out and touch the fluffy mass. "Gurrrr!" I hear as it stands up. I suddenly realize that this is not the same wolf as the one I have met earlier. The one I met before had soft brown eyes, this wolfs is a bright harsh red. "Oh, sorry..." I say as he stands up and starts coming towards me. I turn and run as fast as I can. The wolf chases after me and I can hear him starting to grunt as he starts moving faster. I take a step and then trip on a root and fall to the ground. I turn over and see the wolf jump to get me. I hold my breath and close my eyes and when I open them I am back on my bed safe at home. "Oh it was just a dream!" I pick my book up from the side of the bed and out it on the ground. "Well that's enough reading for one night." I say as I turn off my light and close my eyes to have a good nights sleep.
