The Adventures of Little Red Riding Hood

The Adventures of Little Red Riding Hood

In a dense forest, there was a small house where Little Red Riding Hood lived. One day, her mother asked her to take a basket of cakes to her sick grandmother and warned her to stay on the path and not to stop, as to avoid danger.

"Don't worry," Little Red Riding Hood reassured her mother. "I will get to Grandma's without stopping." She kissed her mother goodbye and set off on her journey. However, as she walked through the forest, she forgot her mother's warning. She came across a patch of ripe strawberries and, unable to resist, picked some and ate them. She said to herself "They look so nice and ripe... and so big! Delicious! I'll just eat one more."

Suddenly, Little Red Riding Hood remembered her mother's instructions, her promise to not stop, her grandmother and the basket. She quickly returned to the path, but the forest became thicker. A yellow butterfly caught her eye, and she couldn't help but chase after it, "Oh, how pretty!" she exclaimed. "I'll catch you!"

As she continued on her way, Little Red Riding Hood came across a field of large daisies. 

"Oh, how beautiful!" she exclaimed. "Grandma will like them a lot!" She picked a large bouquet of flowers. However, as she was doing so, she noticed two menacing eyes watching her from behind a tree. Suddenly, a strange noise in the woods startled her and her heart began to race. "I must find the path and quickly get away from here!"

Little Red Riding Hood ran until she finally found the path. Just as she started to feel relieved, she heard another strange noise coming from behind her. A very deep voice said "Hello, little girl. Why are you walking in the forest all alone? Where are you going?" Little Red Riding Hood replied in a small voice, "I'm taking some cakes to my grandma. She lives at the end of this path."

"Does your grandma live alone?" asked the Big Bad Wolf. "Oh, yes," replied Little Red Riding Hood, "and she never opens the door to strangers!" The wolf said "Your grandma is very clever." "Well, it was very nice talking to you. Maybe we'll meet again!" The wolf left, thinking "I will first eat the grandma and then I will wait for the little girl to come."

The Big Bad Wolf reached the end of the path where the little house stood. He knocked on the door and called out "Who's there?" Grandma replied from her bed "It's me, Little Red Riding Hood. I have brought you some cakes because you are sick," replied the Wolf, disguising his deep voice as best as he could.

"Oh, that's wonderful!" said Grandma, not noticing anything amiss. "Come in!" Unfortunately, in less than two seconds, the Wolf had jumped across the room and devoured the old lady. Gulp! He then put on Grandma's dress and hat, and slipped into her bed. Soon, Little Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. "Grandma, it's me. May I come in?". The Wolf, imitating Grandma's voice, replied "Hello my dear! Come in!"

"Grandma, you have such a big voice!" said Little Red Riding Hood in surprise. "It's to greet you better, my dear," replied the Wolf. "And Grandma, you have such big eyes," said the girl. "It's to see you better, my dear!" "And Grandma, you have such big hands!" exclaimed Little Red Riding Hood as she approached the bed. "It's to hug you better, my dear!"

"And what a big mouth you have," said Little Red Riding Hood, her voice barely a whisper. "It's better to EAT you with!" snarled the Wolf, leaping out of the bed and devouring her. At that moment, a hunter appeared from the forest. He noticed the house and decided to stop and ask for a glass of water. He was on the hunt for a large Wolf that had been stealing sheep from the village.

The hunter heard a strange noise coming from inside the house. He peered through the window and saw the Big Bad Wolf snoring on Grandma's bed. "The Wolf! He won't escape me this time!" He quietly and carefully entered the cottage. As he approached the bed, he heard the sound of a little girl crying and realized that it was coming from the Wolf's stomach.

The hunter used his knife to cut open the Wolf's stomach, rescuing Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandma, who were safe and sound. The hunter filled the Wolf's stomach with rocks from the garden, and sewed it shut again. When the Wolf woke up and saw the hunter, he quickly ran away. The heavy rocks in his stomach gave him such severe abdominal pain that he decided to become a vegetarian and never bothered the village again.

"It's safe to go home now," the hunter told Little Red Riding Hood. "The Big Bad Wolf is gone and there is no more danger on the path." Little Red Riding Hood's mother arrived at Grandma's house as the sun was setting. She had been worried about her daughter's safety. When she saw Little Red Riding Hood, she cried tears of joy. "Oh, you're safe!"

After expressing their gratitude to the hunter, Little Red Riding Hood and her mother made their way back home through the forest. As they walked quickly under the trees, the little girl reminded her mother, "We must always stay on the path and never stop. If we do that, we will stay safe."
