creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother
doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited
the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood. One day her
mother, having made some cakes, said to her.

Mother: Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, for I hear she has been very ill.
Take her a cake, and fruits, will you?

Riding hood: ok mum I´ll go there with my basket

Mother: yes, please go straight to granny’s and don´t speak to any strangers!

another village. While walking she met some farmers who greet her very happy.
Farmers: hello little red riding hood where are you going so happy?
Riding hood: hi, I'm going to my grandma to leave her some food because she's sick
Farmers: well, just take care of yourselft
