Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, a little girl lived in a village near the forest. She always wore a red cloak, so everyone called

her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day she asked her mother if she could visit her grandmother.

They packed a basket full of goodies for Little Red Riding Hood to take to

her grandmother.

Little Red Riding Hood’s mother

reminded her to go straight to go straight to

her grandmother’s

house and to not talk to strangers

in the woods.

Little Red Riding Hood was enjoying

her walk.

She knew she was She knew she was supposed to stay

on the path and go straight to her Grandmothers

house.

But when she saw such beautiful flowers, she

forgot her promise to her forgot her promise to her mother and began picking

them.

She was so busy picking flowers and watching the

butterflies that she didn’t notice the dark shadow notice the dark shadow

approaching.

Suddenly the wolf appeared beside her.

“What are you doing out here?” asked the wolf.

“I’m on my way to visit my grandma” replied Little Red Riding Hood.

Realising how late she was, Little Red Riding Hood rushed off down the path towards her grandmother’s house.

But the wolf took a short cut …

Out of breath, the Wolf arrived at grandmas house. He knocked on the door. “Come in my dear” said Grandma. “I

was so worried that something happened to you in the forest”.

Thinking that the knock was her grand daugher, Grandma stayed

in her chair.

The wolf let himself in and before Grandma could say

another word he gobbled her up!

The wolf helped himself to

Grandma’s clothes and even put on some perfume.

A few moments later Little Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. “Come in” cried the wolf in a crackly voice to disguise

himself.

Little Red Riding Hood scarcely recognised her grandmother.

“Grandma, your voice is so odd,

is there something the

matter?” asked something the

matter?” asked Little Red Riding

Hood

“I have a touch of a cold”

squeaked the wolf

“But grandma, your ears are so big” “The

better to hear you with” replied the wolf.

“But grandma! What big eyes you have” “The better to see

you with” replied the wolf

“But grandma! What “But grandma! What big teeth you have”

said Little Red Riding Hood with her voice

quivering. “The better to eat you my dear” and the wolf jumped up and chased Little

Red Riding Hood

Almost too late Little Red Riding Hood realised that the person in the bed was not her grandmother but a hungry

wolf! She ran out the door shouting “Help! Wolf!”

A nearby woodsman heard her cry and ran towards her to help.

He grabbed the wolf and made him spit out poor Grandma, who was a bit

frazzled but still in one piece.

“Oh Grandma I was so scared” sobbed Little Red Riding Hood. “I’ll

never speak to strangers again”.

“There there dear” replied Grandma, “You

have learnt an important lesson. important lesson.

Thank goodness you shouted for help”

Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandma then

enjoyed a nice lunch together.
