Little Red Riding Hood and the Curious Wolf

Little Red Riding Hood and the Curious Wolf

A gentle bedtime story full of adventure and care

Once upon a time, there was a sweet and kind little girl who always wore a red cape with a hood. That’s why everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One sunny day, her mother packed a small basket with cake and orange juice.

— "Sweetheart, take this to Grandma — she’s feeling a little sick and lives in the cottage deep in the forest. But stay on the trail and don’t talk to strangers, okay?"

Little Red Riding Hood gave her mom a kiss and happily set off, humming and watching the colorful butterflies along the way.

In the middle of the forest, a big curious wolf appeared, pretending to be friendly.

— "Hello, little girl! Where are you going with that yummy-smelling basket?"

— "I’m going to visit my grandma who’s not feeling well. She lives in a little house past the lake," she replied innocently.

The wolf had a sneaky idea — he could get there first and eat both of them!

So, he ran through a secret shortcut in the woods and knocked on Grandma’s door.

Grandma heard the strange voice and tried to escape, but the wolf hid her in the closet and dressed in her clothes to trick the little girl.

When Little Red Riding Hood arrived, she thought Grandma looked a little... different.

— "Grandma, what big eyes you have!"

— "All the better to see you with, my dear!"

— "And what big ears!"

— "All the better to hear you with!"

— "But... what big teeth you have!"

— "All the better to eat you wiii—"

BANG! Before the wolf could finish, the door burst open — it was a woodcutter who had been walking nearby and heard Little Red’s cries!

He saved Little Red Riding Hood and found Grandma, a little shaken, hiding inside the closet. The wolf ran deep into the forest and was never seen there again.

Little Red hugged her grandma tightly and promised:

— "Next time, I’ll go straight on the trail and never talk to strangers again!"

From that day on, she always followed her mother’s advice. Visiting Grandma became a safe and loving adventure.

And they all lived happily ever after — safe, smiling, and with full tummies of cake and orange juice. 🍰🍊
