Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there lived a girl many people called Little Red Riding Hood. Those closest to her just called her " Red. "

One day, Red's mom asked her to take some cake to Grandma, who was not well. “ Go quickly through the woods, do not leave the path, and do not talk to strangers! " Mom said.

Just as Red entered the woods, though, she met Wolf. Red didn't know what a wicked creature he was, so she didn't know to fear him. “ Where are you going, child?" Wolf asked with a smile.

“ To Grandma's, " Red replied. " What have you got in your basket?" Wolf asked. “ Grandma's not feeling well, " Red explained, " so I'm taking her some cake. " Wolf licked his lips, but it wasn't the cake that made him hungry. It was Red!

He thought he would eat Grandma for lunch and Red for dessert. To catch them both, though, he knew he must act quickly. “ Where does Grandma live?" asked Wolf. " Farther on in the woods, under the three large oak trees, " Red said.
