:-?

Once upon a time, Little Red Riding Hood went to visit her granny, and she took a shortcut through a dark, dark wood.

Which of the two underlined sections is which? (Hint: the first says 'Here comes a story.') I don't see what connection the two concepts have. Perhaps you're a member of a 'discourse community' that assigns special meanings to those concepts...
