Once upon a time, there was a little village girl, the prettiest one could ever see. She was adored by her mother and even more so by her grandmother, who made her a red cape. The little girl was liked so much that she was nicknamed Little Red Riding Hood.

 

One day, the girl is instructed by her mother to visit her ill grandmother in a neighbouring village, taking along a cake and some butter. Along the way, Red Riding Hood meets old Father Wolf, who wanted to eat her but was conscious of alerting the nearby lumberjacks in the forest. The wolf asked Red Riding hood where she was going, and not knowing the dangers of talking to the wolf. She tells the wolf where she was going and how to get there and the wolf said he would visit the grandmother too, but took a shorter path.

 

Arriving at the grandmother’s house, the wolf disguised his voice as Red Riding Hood and gained entry and ate her up in no time before he shut the door and hopped in the bed, waiting for Red Riding Hood to arrive.

 

A short while later, she arrived, entered. The wolf, softening his voice, instructed Red Riding Hood to place the cake and butter on the bin and hop into bed with him. The girl complied, removing her cloak before hopping in the bed and becoming shocked at her grandmother’s appearance. Red Riding Hood questioned her grandmother’s arms, legs, ears, eyes and mouth, where the wolf exclaimed “all the better to eat you with!” and, with these words, the wolf ate the girl.
