LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Long, long ago …

In a small house near the forest, there lived a little girl with her mother. Her name
was Little Red Riding Hood.
1
One day, her mother said:

“Grandma is sick. She’s in bed. Go to her house. In the basket, there’s a bottle of fresh
milk, some bread and some butter for her.”
2
Little Red Riding Hood immediately set out for grandmother’s house. But in the
forest, she met a hungry Wolf.

“Where are you going?” said the Wolf.

“To see my grandmother,” said innocent Little Red Riding Hood, “she’s sick. I have
some milk, bread and butter for her.”

“Pick some flowers,” said the Wolf. And he ran to grandmother’s house.
3
The Wolf got to grandmother’s house. He went tap-tap-tap on the door.

“Who is this?” asked Grandma.

“It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood,” said the Wolf, “I have some milk, bread and butter
for you.”

“Open the door and come in, my dear,” said Grandma.

The Wolf opened the door and... in an instant, he ate her up!

Then, he got into grandma’s bed to wait for Little Red Riding Hood.
