Monsieur Dumpty Had it Right!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: "Hullo Monsieur Charles!"
MONSIEUR CHARLES: "Hullo Mon Petite Chaperon Rouge."
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: "What are you doing up here, sitting on Daddy's fence?"
MONSIEUR CHARLES: "Well, I was just relaxing and admiring the view." *Waves paw at surrounding view.* "Come and sit on the fencepost alongside me." *Pats fencepost.*
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: "Oh thank you Monsieur Charles! Oh my!" *Gasps.* "It is very lovely view from up here, Monsieur Charles."
MONSIEUR CHARLES: "You know, I think Monsieur Dumpty had it right. Sitting atop a wall, or fence, can be a pleasurable way to while away an afternoon, Mon Petite Chaperon Rouge."
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: "Oh! So long as we don't fall, like Monsieur Dumpty, Monsieur Charles!" *Reaches out dainty hand and grasps Monsieur Charles' shoulder for security.*
MONSIEUR CHARLES: "Don't worry, Mon Petite Chaperon Rouge," *Pats hand comfortingly with paw.* "I'll make sure that we don't fall." *Smiles toothy grin.*
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 22nd of November is "on top of the fence", a theme that requires a picture of something on top of a fence - objects, plants, animals and even people are allowed for the theme, but the subject has to be on top of the fence, and not in front of, hanging from, or behind the fence! I decided that Le Petite Chaperon Rouge (Little Red Riding Hood) and Le Loup Charles (Charles the Wolf) were perfect to sit atop my front fence, enjoying the late spring sunshine and my latest flush of roses! I hope you like my choice of this week’s theme and that it makes you smile!
Little Red Riding Hood (Le Petite Chaperon Rouge) has been hand made by the French toy manufacturer Moulin Roty and comes from their "l était une fois" ("Once Upon a Time") collection. Little Red Riding Hood is outfitted in a floral patterned cotton dress, trimmed at the hem with sparkly pink tulle. Her beautiful cape, with a lined hood, is made from red fine corduroy and it is fastened with a plum coloured tie. The outfit is complemented by striped jersey leggings, lace socks and charcoal grey velour shoes finished with satin bows . Her face and hands are made of a linen weave cotton and her beautiful long plaits are made of jersey. Little Red Riding Hood’s facial features are delicately done, with embroidered eyes and mouth and hand painted nose, freckles and rosy cheeks.
Charles the Wolf (Le Loup Charles) has been hand made by the French toy manufacturer Moulin Roty and comes from their "l était une fois" ("Once Upon a Time") collection. He wears a removable purple coat with a black furry trim and smart fur lined boots. He also has a big mouth and sharp teeth - all the better to eat you with, my dear!
