Little Red Riding Hood

Do not go by yourself to the woods. I heard there is one big, bad, hungry wolf. Preteen girl doesn't listen, she grabs a basket and hits a trail leading through the woods. Red Cape look forward, do not look into the woods. Dangerous creatures are hiding in the shadows. Listen, do not talk to anybody! It is not a dog, it's an old,sly, lame wolf coming out of the woods! "There is no rush, why you don't enjoy trees beauty, soft moss and look at all flowers for your boyfriend." "I don't have a boyfriend," giggles little girl and spills about her grandma, gives away an address where she lives. Little foolish girl! You'll have to pay! She comes to her grandma's cottage. There, in the bed lies a wolf - a transvestite. You know the end of the story. Females were rescued by brave woodcutter, woodsman, huntsman, or all above. The thirsty wolf, full of rocks, fell into an old well. There goes the good well ... Nobody will be able to clean it up. Silly girl grew up and sometimes she tells how it was to be in the wolf's belly and the grandmother got well. About the content of the basket: eggs, butter, a cake, and according to Brothers Grimm, also a bottle of wine. I was wondering what Red Cape was riding. Where the word came from. A children librarian said it is how the outfit she was wearing, was called. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 4,8/2009
