《小红帽》，卡伦·莫勒改写。 基娅拉·菲德勒绘图。 核心问题。 小红的选择如何影响故事发展？

Once upon a time, there lived a girl with a little riding -hood of red velvet. She liked it so well that she would never wear anything else. For this reason, many folk called her Little Red Riding Hood. Those closest to her, however, called her Red.

从前，有个小姑娘，拥有一顶红色丝绒做的小兜帽。 她太喜欢这顶兜帽了，从来不戴别的帽子。 因此大家都叫她小红帽。 不过和她亲近的人，都叫她小红。

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. I will take great care, Red replied.

一天，外婆生病了，小红的妈妈让她送些蛋糕去看望外婆。 快点穿过林子走吧。 妈妈说：不要离开小路，也不要和陌生人说话。 小红回答道：我一定会小心的。

Just as Red entered the woods, however, she met Wolf. Red did not know what a wicked creature he was, so she did not know to be wary of him. Such a beautiful morning, Wolf said with a smile. Where are you going, child?

可小红刚走进树林，就碰到了一只狼。 小红不知道狼是多么邪恶的野兽，所以她一点都没有提防他。 狼笑着说：今天天气可真好呀。 小家伙，你这是要去哪里呀？

To Grandmas," Red answered politely. What have you got in your basket? Wolf asked. Grandmas not feeling well, Red explained. Yesterday was baking day, so I'm taking her some cake. Wolf licked his lips, but it wasn't the cake that made him hungry.

小红礼貌地回答：“去外婆家。” 你的篮子里装了什么呀？ 狼问道。 小红解释说：外婆身体不舒服。 昨天烤了蛋糕，我给她送一些过去。 狼舔了舔嘴唇，让他肚子饿的可不是蛋糕。

Where does Grandma live? he asked next. Farther on in the woods, under the three large oak trees, Red said. Wolf's belly rumbled. What a tender young creature, he thought. How delicious! He would eat Grandma for lunch and Red for dessert. To catch both, though, he knew he must act quickly.

外婆家住在哪里呀？ 他接着问道。 小红说：在树林深处，三棵大橡树的下面。 狼的肚子咕噜噜响了一声。 他心想：多鲜嫩的小家伙呀。 肯定好吃极了！ 他要把外婆当午餐吃，把小红当甜点。 不过他知道，想要同时抓到两个，必须赶紧行动。
