Little Red's Brave Trek

Once upon a time, in a cozy little village on the edge of a thick forest, there lived a girl called Little Red Riding Hood because of her favorite red cloak.

Introducing Little Red, her village, and her iconic red cloak.

Little Red's mother said to her, 'Please take these goodies to Grandma's house. But remember, do not talk to strangers on the way!'

Little Red's mother giving her a task.

Nodding, Little Red filled her basket and started her journey through the sunlit paths of the forest, eager to see her Grandma.

Little Red sets off on her journey.

As birds chirped, Little Red skipped along and was soon met by a sly wolf, whose eyes sparkled cunningly. 'Where are you going, little girl?' he asked.

First encounter with the wolf.

Remembering her mother’s words, Little Red said, 'To my Grandma's house.' But she did not say where it was or her path.

Little Red cautiously interacts with the wolf.

The wolf smiled a wide, toothy grin, and said, 'What a nice thing to do! I hope your trip is full of fun.' Then, he quickly dashed off into the woods.

The wolf hides his true intentions.

Little Red felt proud of remembering her mother's words. She hummed happily, unaware that the wolf was hatching a plan.

Little Red continues, oblivious to the wolf's plan.

The wolf took a shortcut and soon reached Grandma's house, where he knocked on the door with a tricky knock.

The wolf gets to Elderly, loving, fair skin, glasses, white hair's house first.

Poor Grandma thought it was Little Red and opened the door, only to be surprised by the grinning wolf who gently led her to hide in the closet.

Elderly, loving, fair skin, glasses, white hair gets tricked by the wolf.

Putting on one of Grandma's nightgowns and a cap, the wolf crawled under the covers of Grandma's bed, waiting for Little Red.

The wolf disguises himself as Elderly, loving, fair skin, glasses, white hair.

Soon after, Little Red arrived and knocked on the door with her usual cheerful tap-tap. 'Come in, my dear!' called the wolf, mimicking Grandma's voice.

Little Red arrives at Elderly, loving, fair skin, glasses, white hair's house.

Little Red entered and immediately felt something was odd. 'Grandma, what big eyes you have!' she said, her voice filled with wonder.

Little Red notices something odd about 'Elderly, loving, fair skin, glasses, white hair'.

To teach Little Red a safe lesson, the wolf jumped up, shouted 'Surprise!' and laughed as Grandma popped out of the closet.

The wolf reveals himself as part of a lesson.

Little Red yelped, then giggled, relief washing over her. 'We wanted to remind you to be careful, sweetheart,' Grandma said, hugging her tightly.

Elderly, loving, fair skin, glasses, white hair and Little Red embrace, lesson learned.
