One fine day, in the kitchen, her mother was packing a basket on the kitchen table while Red
Riding Hood puts on her cape.

Her mother said firmly, “Be sure to carry the basket carefully so as not to damage the cakes.”

“Of course mother, they are so prettily decorated. I wouldn’t want to spoil them,” she replied
kindly.

“You know the way?” asked her mother.

“Yes, mother I know the way,” she replied.

Giving basket to Red Riding Hood and kissing her, the mother instructed, “Be careful, and
don’t talk to any strangers.”

“No mother. I’ll keep to the path,” said Red Riding Hood.

Red Riding Hood with hand on door handle, “I’ll be back before you know it. Bye!”

“Bye love! Take care!” Mother said, quietly to self.
