ACT 1: Setting up the adventure: Scene 1: Little red riding hood and her mother are discussing the

journey ahead:
Once upon a time there was a pretty little village girl whose mother doted on her. Her Grandmother loved
her so much that she made her a little red hood, one so becoming that people called her Little Red Riding Hood. One
day her mother, who had just baked a cake, said, "Go and see how your Grandmother is, for I have been told that
she is ill. Take her this nice cake." Little Red Riding Hood set off at once.

ACT 2: The beginning of the adventure: Scene 2: Little red riding hood met a trickster wolf:
On her way through the wood to the next village, she met the wily old Wolf. He very much wanted to eat her,
but dared not do so because some woodcutters were nearby in the forest. When he asked where she was going, she
replied, not knowing it was dangerous to stop and listen to a wolf, "I am taking this cake my mother made to my
Grand-mother." The Wolf asked if her Grandmother lived far away, and Little Red Riding Hood pointed out the house
in the distance. The Wolf said he would go to see her too, and suggested she take one path and he another, to see
who got there first. He set off running with all his might along the shorter road, the little girl continuing on her way by
the longer road, amusing herself as she went.

ACT 2: The middle of the adventure: Scene 3: The wolf arrived at the grandmother’s house and ate her:
The Wolf soon reached the Grandmother's house. When he knocked, the old lady, who was ill in bed, asked
who was there. Pretending he was Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf said he had a cake from her mother. The
Grandmother gave instructions how to get in, and the Wolf sprang on the poor old lady and ate her up in no time, for
he hadn't eaten in three days. Then he lay down in the Grandmother's bed and waited for Little Red Riding Hood.

ACT 2: The start to the end: Scene 4: The wolf led little red riding hood to her:
When she knocked, the Wolf disguised his voice and called out, "Who is it?" But his gruff voice frightened
Little Red Riding Hood, until she thought, maybe Grandmother has a bad cold and is hoarse. So she called out, "Little
Red Riding Hood," and said she had brought a cake from her mother. Softening his voice, the Wolf told her how to
enter Little Red Riding Hood did as she was told, and, seeing her enter, the Wolf hid beneath the counterpane. He
told her to put the cake down and get up on the bed with him.

ACT 3: The finale of the adventure: Scene 5: Little red riding hood started to realize what was going on:
Little Red Riding Hood undressed, but when she climbed up on the bed she was astonished to see how her
Grandmother looked in her nightgown. "Grandmother dear!" she exclaimed, What big arms you have!" "The better to
embrace you with, my child!" "Grandmother dear, what big legs you have!" "The better to run with, my child!"
"Grandmother dear, what big ears you have!" "The better to hear with, my child!" "Grandmother dear, what big eyes
you have!" "The better to see with, my child!" "Grandmother dear, what big teeth you have!" "The better to eat you
with!" And with these words the wicked Wolf leaped upon Little Red Riding Hood and gobbled her up. This is the
original Perrault version of the events: other variants offer a less violent ending by making the hunters, one of whom
is Riding Hood's wood-man father, rush in and save her before cutting off the Wolf's head.
