  • Once upon a time, there lived a little girl.

  • This girl wore a red riding hood at all times.

  • That's why everybody used to call her Little Red Riding Hood.

  • Darling!

  • Yes, Mummy?

  • You know your grandmother is ill.

  • Would you take her the cookies I baked and the fresh herbs I picked from the woods?

  • Of course, Mummy, I will.

  • The little girl, with her red riding hood as always, started her journey to her grandmother's house.

  • Do not leave the road in the bunny forest, sweetheart, said her mother as she was leaving.

  • Little Red Riding Hood started walking in the forest while joyously singing songs.

  • I wonder why they call it the bunny forest.

  • I wonder why they call it the bunny forest.

  • I haven't seen any bunnies along the way.

  • Little Red Riding Hood came to a road filled with flowers.

  • There were all kinds of coloured flowers.

  • I should pick some flowers for my grandmother.

  • She'll be very pleased.

  • While Little Red Riding Hood was picking the flowers, she did not realise that she was drifting away from her path.

  • At that moment, she heard a sound coming from the bushes.

  • Suddenly, a big bad wolf approached in front of her.

  • Little Red Riding Hood was so scared that when she saw the wolf right in front of her eyes, she dropped the basket that she was carrying.

  • The wolf jumped closer to her and collected the cookies she had dropped from the basket and gave them back to Little Red Riding Hood.

  • Little Red Riding Hood was amazed by this unexpected gesture from the wolf.

  • Thank you.

  • Where are you heading, little girl?

  • To my grandmother's house, the yellow house at the end of this forest.

  • She is not feeling well, so I'm bringing her cookies and healthy herbs.

  • Really?

  • By the way, you can call me Little Red Riding Hood like everybody else does.

  • I'll head on first and let your grandmother know that you are on your way so that you can continue picking up your beautiful flowers.

  • Right at that moment, he heard a gunshot of an approaching hunter's rifle and ran away as fast as he could.

  • Little Red Riding Hood looked around for a moment and started crying, realising that she was lost.

  • Hearing her crying, the hunter approached and came next to her.

  • What are you doing alone here, little girl?

  • It's very dangerous around here.

  • I'm looking for a big bad wolf whom I've been hunting for a very long time.

  • Little Red Riding Hood was very ashamed because she had not listened to her mother and left the road in the bunny forest.

  • So she could not tell the hunter that she had met the wolf.

  • Well, I was bringing cookies to my ill grandmother living at the end of the forest and I got lost.

  • Let me bring you to your grandma's home then.

  • They started to walk together and right then the wolf took a shortcut and quickly made it to the grandmother's house.

  • He knocked on the door.

  • The grandmother yelled from inside.

  • Who is it?

  • The wolf changing his voice.

  • It's me, grandma, Little Red Riding Hood.

  • I brought you cookies and fresh herbs from the woods.

  • The door is open, my dear. You can come in.

  • The wolf smirked and stormed in through the open door.

  • When a while later, Little Red Riding Hood and the hunter arrived at the grandmother's house.

  • Go, little girl, go next to your grandmother as soon as possible.

  • The hunter went back on his way.

  • Little Red Riding Hood knocked on the door.

  • Her grandmother yelled from inside.

  • Who is it?

  • It's me, grandma, Little Red Riding Hood.

  • The door is open, my darling. You can come in.

  • Little Red Riding Hood hesitated for a moment because the sound she heard did sound a little different than her grandmother.

  • She then remembered that her grandmother was not home.

  • A grandmother probably sounds like that because she is ill.

  • Little Red Riding Hood opened the door and went in.

  • The wolf dressed in grandmother's clothing, with her nightcap and her glasses, was lying in the bed.

  • He also closed the drape so that it became dark inside and lit up.

  • I thank you, darling, for all your trouble getting all the way here to bring me food.

  • Come next to me so I can give you a hug.

  • Come, my darling, come closer.

  • Little Red Riding Hood left the basket on the floor and went back to her grandmother's house.

  • Little Red Riding Hood went back to her grandmother's house.

  • Little Red Riding Hood left the basket on the floor but she did not get too close to the bed because her grandma looked different.

  • Why are your arms so long, grandma?

  • So that I can hug you better.

  • Why are your ears so big?

  • So that I can hear you better.

  • But why are your eyes so huge?

  • So that I can see you better.

  • Why are your teeth so sharp, grandmother?

  • So that I can eat you better.

  • The wolf jumped out of the bed and charged at the Little Red Riding Hood.

  • At that moment, Little Red Riding Hood realized that it wasn't her grandmother lying in the bed but instead the Big Bad Wolf she had ran into along the way.

  • Help! Help me!

  • The hunter heard Little Red Riding Hood scream

  • Help! Help me!

  • and ran straight to the house, stormed into the open door and caught the wolf immediately.

  • I finally got you, Big Bad Wolf.

  • Now you're in my hands.

  • The hunter cut the wolf's belly and rescued the grandmother.

  • Thank you for saving us, Mr. Hunter.

  • You're welcome.

  • But promise me, little girl, that you will never forget what your mother asks of you.

  • With great appetite, grandmother ate all the cookies Little Red Riding Hood had brought for her.

  • Boiled the healthy herbs to make a cup of tea and instantly got well.

  • Little Red Riding Hood promised her grandmother that she will never ever fall into the words of a bad wolf again.

  • Little Red Riding Hood was walking in the forest once again singing along merrily as she ran into the same wolf again.

  • The wolf was punished by the hunter to clean the forest and he was very ashamed about what he did when he saw the Little Red Riding Hood.

  • The bunny forest became full of joy, bunnies and flowers like it was once before.

Once upon a time, there lived a little girl.
