The story is about a
lovely sweet girl who is loved by one and all. Everyone calls the girl Little
Red Riding Hood as she always wears a riding hood made of red velvet, which was
gifted to her by her grandmother.
One fine day, Little
Red Riding Hood's mother packs a bottle of wine and a cake in a basket and asks
her to take them to her sick grandmother. Before she leaves, her mother warns
her not to talk to anyone on the way. Little Red Riding Hood promises her that
she wouldn't and sets off to her grandmother's place, which was put up in the
forest, half an hours walk from the village.
When Little Red
Riding Hood enters the forest, she comes across a wolf, who plans to eat her up.
So when the wolf asks her where she is off to, she answers him that she is on
her way to see her grandmother, without suspecting the wolf. When the wolf asks
her where her grandmother lives, Little Red Riding Hood innocently answers that
too.
The wolf trots along
with Little Red Riding Hood for sometime and tempts her to make a slow journey,
asking her to enjoy the scenery. Little Red Riding Hood leaves the path and
starts picking flowers and as she does so, she goes deeper and deeper into the
forest. Meanwhile, the big bad wolf reaches grandmothers house and knocks the
door. He enters the house and gobbles Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.
Then, he puts on the grandmothers clothes and night cap and lies down in her
bed.
Little Red Riding
Hood soon realizes that she is late and hurries to her grandmother's house. She
reaches the house and finds the front door wide open. She makes her way towards
the bed, to see her grandmother looking very
strange.
"Grandmother, what
big ears you have!" she asks.
"All the better to
hear you with," the wolf replies.
"Grandmother, what
big eyes you have!" she asks.
"All the better to
see you with," the wolf replies.
"Grandmother, what
big hands you have!" she asks.
"All the better to
hold you with," the wolf replies.
"But grandmother,
what big teeth you have!" she asks.
"All the better to
eat you with," the wolf replies, and leaps out of the bed and swallows Little
Red Riding Hood. After that, the wolf gets back to the bed and starts sleeping.
After a while, a passing huntsman hears the loud snores and goes inside the
house, to find a wolf sleeping on the bed. He immediately cuts open the wolf's
stomach with a pair of scissors. Little Red Riding Hood pops out of the wolf's
stomach, followed by her grandmother. They then fill the wolf's stomach with
stones and sew it. The wolf wakes up and tries to run, but falls down dead
instead.
The grandmother
drinks the wine and eats the cake and feels much better and the story ends with
Little Red Riding Hood promising her grandmother that she would never again
leave the path when her mother has forbidden it.
