Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a famous actor named Max who loved to perform for an audience. He was known for his amazing talent and captivating personality, and everyone wanted to see him on stage.

One day, Max decided to put on a special play, a funny adaptation of the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood." But there was a problem, the antagonist of the story, the Big Bad Wolf, was giving him a hard time. Every time Max tried to act out the scene, the wolf would make silly faces or say silly things, ruining the atmosphere of the play.

Max was getting frustrated, but then he had an idea. He decided to add an aside in the play, where the Big Bad Wolf would tell jokes and be silly on purpose, making the audience laugh. The audience loved it and Max was a hit!

But little did they know, the play was actually an allegory, teaching a lesson about the importance of finding the balance between good and evil. And Max, as the hero of the story, was the archetype of courage and wit.

And so, the play was a success, and the actress playing Little Red Riding Hood, was also praised for her performance. From that day on, Max and the Big Bad Wolf became the best of friends and continued to perform together, always making sure to bring laughter and joy to their audience.

The end.
