Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood. She lived in a small village surrounded by a big forest. One day, her mother asked her to take a basket of goodies to her sick grandmother who lived on the other side of the forest. Little Red Riding Hood happily agreed and set off on her journey.

As Little Red Riding Hood walked through the forest, she noticed a big, furry wolf hiding behind a tree. The wolf had a sly smile on his face. He approached Little Red Riding Hood and asked where she was going. Little Red Riding Hood, being a kind-hearted girl, told him about her grandmother and the goodies she was taking to her.

The wolf, pretending to be friendly, suggested a shortcut to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother's house. He wanted to get there before her and have a tasty meal. Little Red Riding Hood, unaware of the wolf's true intentions, thanked him and followed his directions.

Meanwhile, a wise woodcutter who knew about the cunning ways of the wolf, saw them and became suspicious. He quickly ran ahead to the grandmother's house to warn her. When Little Red Riding Hood arrived, she found her grandmother safe and sound, thanks to the woodcutter's timely intervention.

From that day on, Little Red Riding Hood learned to be cautious and never trust strangers. She always listened to her parents' advice and never took shortcuts through the forest. And whenever she went to visit her grandmother, the woodcutter would accompany her to ensure her safety.
