Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Red Riding Hood. One day, her
mother asked her to take some muffins to her grandmother, who was sick. So
Little Red Riding Hood went into the woods, and headed to her Grandma’s
house. She was hopping and singing
cheerfully, when suddenly a big Wolf
appeared from nowhere. The wolf asked
her where she was going and told her to be
careful, because the forest was extremely
dangerous to traverse unaccompanied. Little
Red Riding Hood was very suspicious of the Wolf, so she
read the sign on the crossroad and saw that the path to
the right led to the Bears’ house. Red Riding Hood told
the Wolf that she was going to her grandma’s house to
visit her, because she was extremely ill
and feeble, and pointed into the
direction of the Bears’ house. The
crafty Wolf suggested the girl to pick up some flowers for
her Granny; he said it would be totally worth it. The wolf
wanted Little Red Riding Hood to waste time, so that he
could reach grandma’s house first, put her in the closet,
disguise as her, and set a trap for the girl. Little Red Riding Hood headed into
the Bears’ house direction and so did the wolf, but then the girl returned to
the crossroad and headed into the right direction, this time. The girl had
tricked the Wolf. When she arrived to her grandma’s house, they both
enjoyed the muffins in her basket, while they laughed at the Wolf for being
so stupid. Whatever happened to the Wolf? Well, that’s a mystery…or at
least inappropriate for children to know.
