His story ""Ladle Rat Rotten Hut"" is ""Little Red Riding Hood"" re-written with similar-sounding words substituting for the original folk tale. A professor of French, Chace wrote ""Ladle Rat Rotten Hut"" in 1940 to demonstrate that the intonation of spoken English is almost as important to the meaning as the words themselves. It was first published in Gene Sherman's ""Cityside"" column in the ""Los Angeles Times"" in 1953, reprinted in the ""San"
"Francisco Chronicle"" and in the first issue of ""Sports Illustrated"" in 1954. After Arthur Godfrey read ""Ladle Rat Rotten Hut"" on one of his programs, thousands of requests for copies of the story prompted the publication of Chace's stories and nursery rhymes in ""Anguish Languish"", illustrated with cartoons by Hal Doremus. In the Anguish Languish, a single word replaces several in the correct version (""e.g."", ""evanescent"" from ""if it isn't""), and sometimes several words replace one longer word (""on forger nut"" for ""unfortunate"").

"Little Red Riding Hood ""Little Red Riding Hood"" is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to the 10th century by several European folk tales, including one from Italy called ""The False Grandmother"" (), later written among others by Italo Calvino in the ""Italian Folktales"" collection; the best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. The story has been changed considerably in various retellings and subjected to numerous modern adaptations and readings.
