What’s Going On?
This story, believe it or not, is the very familiar fable of Little Red Riding Hood. This curious version was written in 1940 by a professor of French named H. L. Chace, who wanted to show his students that intonation - that is, the melody of a language - is an integral part of its meaning. The words here are all common English words, but not the ones you’d expect to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Lots and lots of things go into my head. Too many to keep.
I know I can't keep them all; there's only so much space. But I'd hate to lose them forever -- that'd be like taking the same route home, every day, but never being able to remember it after. Instead, I'm saving the route here.
Think of the site as:- A venerable feast for the attention deficient.
- A vault that protects things from getting "run down by the drunken taxicabs of Absolute Reality."
- A smorgasborg. Always fresh. Continually replenished.
Feel free to snack or gorge. There's no shortage in sight.
