Once upon a time, a sweet girl named Little Red Riding Hood lived in a village near a forest. One day, her mother asked her to take a basket of food to her sick grandmother. Wearing her red cloak, she set off through the forest.
On her way, she met a cunning wolf who asked where she was going. Innocently, she told him about her grandmother. The wolf, eager for a meal, suggested she pick some flowers. While she was distracted, he hurried to the grandmother's house.
The wolf arrived and knocked on the door. Pretending to be Red Riding Hood, he gained entry and swiftly locked the grandmother in a closet. He then put on her clothes and waited in her bed.
When Red Riding Hood arrived, she noticed something strange about her grandmother but couldn't quite figure it out. "Grandmother, what big ears you have!" she exclaimed. "All the better to hear you with," replied the wolf. "What big eyes you have!" "All the better to see you with." "What big teeth you have!" "All the better to eat you with!" shouted the wolf, jumping out of bed.
Just then, a nearby woodcutter heard the screams, rushed in, and rescued both Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. The wolf fled, never to be seen again. Red Riding Hood learned to always be cautious and never talk to strangers.
