 The Red Ribbon Bob’s dazzling through the snow as he starts singing in his mouth saying stuff like “Tonight is my night”. The moment he walked through the park he saw his best girl, Sally, sitting there. It was snowing but Bob felt that nothing could stop or prevent him from asking her. He slowly took out the engagement ring he bought days ago. "A big wedding in June would be just right." he mumbled.

Bob then saw Sally coming down the path towards him as he ran to her. Bob gave Sally one big hug and then sat her back down onto the park bench. He kneeled on one knee in front of her.

"Sally," Bob said, "you are the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I love you and I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?" Sally smiled back and replied, "Yes! I will marry you." As Bob happy-as-ever gazed at his going-to-be wife, he then noticed the red ribbon that Sally always wears it around her neck.

"Why do you always wear that red ribbon?" Bob asked. “It’s something I must never take off, Bob, is that ok with you?” Sally replied. Bob smiled back at Sally and they started waling through the park.

As it is, Bob and Sally were married in June. They started searching for a lovely little house and found just the right one with friendly neighbors. After the moved in for about 3 months, Bob then bought for Sally more clothes and dresses. But the odd thing was every time Sally goes out, she always wears her red ribbon and even she’s at home. Sally noticed Bob’s confusion, she smiled and said: "I must never take off my red ribbon."

After a few years together, Sally found out she was going to have a baby. This news delighted Bob. They talked together late into the night and decided to tell everyone that they’re having a baby. When the day came, Sally asked hesitantly "Please tell the doctor that I must not take off my red ribbon!” Bob was very angry and frustrated but eventually he told the doctor not to take off her red ribbon.

"Thank you for telling the doctor not to take off my red ribbon." She told Bob after the baby was born.

Bob surely did not have a clue why is the red ribbon so important to her. They later named their child Bobby after his father name, Bob.

Bob, Sally, and little Bobby then lived together in a new house for many years and never had any problems. Bobby often tried to reach Sally’s neck and take the ribbon and Sally would take his hands away and said: "Mommy must never ever take off this red ribbon!" The red ribbon had frustrated Bob for a long time. He loves Sally but did not understand why she needs to wear the red ribbon.

After many years, Bob bought Sally a brand new necklace as their anniversary’s coming up. The day the celebrated the anniversary, Bob took Sally to a restaurant near the Central Park. Then Bob gave Sally an expensive-looking box with a beautiful diamond necklace in it. She opened it, smiled but then cried. Bob then put the necklace around her neck and started to take off the red ribbon. Sally suddenly stopped him and said, "I must never take off my red ribbon!" Bob sat back in his seat with an angry looking face. He looked at Sally and shook his head.

“I don’t get it Sally, why do you have to wear that thing around your neck all the time?” Bob asked. Sally gently placed the diamond necklace back into box and closed it. "It is lovely from you, Bob.

You’re the sweetest thing that happened to me” she said but then once again said, "But I must never take off my red ribbon."

"Why?" Bob asked as he hid that question behind for so many years. Sally smiled sadly and shook her head. She did not answer him. Later that night when Bob was still awake, he thought in his head that he must go and check out his wife and finally find the answers to the red ribbon around her neck.

Bob got out of bed and walked around to Sally's side. Bob started to take out her ribbon carefully and slowly. After he unplugged all of the knots, ZIP! The red ribbon immediately fell out.

And then Bob terrified as Sally’s head came off and it rolled right to the floor!!!
