Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, a little girl lived in a village near the forest. She always wore a red cloak, so everyone called her Little Red

Riding Hood.

One day she asked her mother if she could visit her grandmother.

They packed a basket full of goodies for Little Red Riding

Hood to take to her grandmother.

Little Red Riding Hood’s

mother reminded her to go straight

to her grandmother’s house and to

not talk to strangers in the woods.

Little Red Riding Hood was enjoying

her walk.

She knew she was supposed to stay on the path and go

straight to her Grandmothers

house.

But when she saw such beautiful flowers, she forgot her promise to her mother and began

picking them.

How many flowers did Little Red Riding Hood collect?

She was so busy picking flowers and

watching the butterflies that she didn’t notice

the dark shadow approaching.

Suddenly the wolf appeared beside her.

“What are you doing out here?” asked the wolf.

“I’m on my way to visit my grandma” replied Little Red Riding Hood.

STRANGER DANGER STRANGER DANGER

Mummy told me not to talk to strangers …

Realising how late she was, Little Red Riding Hood rushed off down the path towards her

grandmother’s house.

But the wolf took a short cut …

Out of breath, the Wolf arrived at grandmas house. He knocked on the door. “Come in my dear” said

Grandma. “I was so worried that something happened to you in the forest”.

Thinking that the knock was her grand daugher, Grandma

stayed in her chair.

The wolf let himself in and before Grandma could say

another word he gobbled her up!

The wolf helped himself to Grandma’s clothes and even put on

some perfume.

A few moments later Little Red Riding Hood knocked on the door. “Come in” cried the wolf in a

crackly voice to disguise himself.

Little Red Riding Hood

scarcely recognised her grandmother.

“Grandma, your voice is

so odd, is there

something the matter?”

asked Little Red Riding

Hood

“I have a touch of a

cold” squeaked the

wolf

“But grandma, your ears are so

big” “The better to hear you with”

replied the wolf.

“But grandma! What big eyes you have” “The better to see you with” replied the wolf

“But grandma! What big teeth you

have” said Little Red Riding Hood

with her voice quivering. “The

better to eat you my dear” and the

wolf jumped up and chased Little Red

Riding Hood

Almost too late Little Red Riding Hood realised that the person in the bed was not her grandmother but

a hungry wolf! She ran out the door shouting “Help! Wolf!”

A nearby woodsman heard her cry and ran towards her to help.

He grabbed the wolf and made him spit out poor Grandma, who was a bit frazzled but still in one

piece.

“Oh Grandma I was so scared” sobbed Little Red Riding Hood. “I’ll never

speak to strangers again”.

“There there dear” replied Grandma, “You have learnt

an important lesson. Thank goodness you

shouted for help”

Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandma then enjoyed a nice lunch together.
