LITTLE RED CAP

Many years ago there lived a dear little girl who was beloved by every one who knew her; but her grand-mother was so very fond of her that she never felt she could think and do enough to please this dear grand-daughter, and she presented the little girl with a red silk cap, which suited her so well, that she would never wear anything else, and so was called Little Red Cap.

One day Red-Cap's mother said to her, “Come, Red-Cap, here is a nice piece of meat, and a bottle of wine: take these to your grandmother; she is weak and ailing, and they will do her good. Be there before she gets up; go quietly and carefully.”

The grandmother lived far away in the wood, a long walk from the village, and as Little Red-Cap came among the trees she met a Wolf; but she did not know what a wicked animal it was, and so she was not at all frightened. "Good morning, Little Red Cap," he said.

"Thank you, Mr. Wolf,” she said.

"Where are you going so early, Little Red Cap?"

"To my grandmother's," she answered.

"And what are you carrying in that basket?"

"Some wine and meat," she replied. "We baked the meat yesterday, so that grandmother, who is very weak, might have a nice strengthening meal."

"And where does your grandmother live?" asked the wolf.

“Oh, quite twenty minutes walk further into the forest. The cottage stands under three great oak trees; and close by are some nut bushes, by which you will at once know it."

The Wolf was thinking to himself, “She is a nice tender thing, and will taste better than the old woman; I must act cleverly, that I may make a meal of both.”

Presently he came up again to Little Red-Cap, and said, “Just look at the beautiful flowers which grow around you; why do you not look about you? I believe you don't hear how sweetly the birds are singing. You walk as if you were going to school; see how cheerful everything is about you in the forest.”

And Little Red Cap opened her eyes; and when she saw how the sunbeams glanced and danced through the trees, and what bright flowers were blooming in her path, she thought, “If I take my grandmother a fresh nosegay, she will be very much pleased; and it is so very early that I can, even then, get there in good time;" and running into the forest, she looked about for flowers. But when she had once begun she did not know how to leave off, and kept going deeper and deeper amongst the trees looking for some still more beautiful flower. The Wolf, however, ran straight to the house of the old grandmother, and knocked at the door.

"Who's there?" asked the old lady.

“Only Little Red Cap, bringing you some meat and wine; please open the door,” answered the Wolf. "Lift up the latch," cried the grandmother; "I am much too ill to get up myself."

So the Wolf lifted the latch, and the door flew open; and without a word, he jumped on to the bed, and gobbled up the poor old lady. Then he put on her clothes, and tied her night-cap over his head; got into the bed, and drew the blankets over him. All this time Red-Cap was gathering flowers; and when she had picked as many as she could carry, she thought of her grandmother, and hurried to the cottage. She wondered greatly to find the door open; and when she got into the room, she began to feel very ill, and exclaimed, “How sad I feel! I wish I had not come to-day.”
Then she said, "Good morning," but received no reply; so she went up to the bed, and drew back the curtains, and there lay her grandmother, as she imagined, with the cap drawn half over her eyes, and looking very fierce.

“Oh, grandmother, what great ears you have!” she said.

"All the better to hear you with," was the reply.

"And what great eyes you have!"

"All the better to see you with."

"And what great hands you have!"

"All the better to touch you with."

“But, grandmother, what very great teeth you have!”

"All the better to eat you with;" and hardly were the words spoken when the Wolf made a jump out of bed, and swallowed up poor Little Red-Cap also.

As soon as the Wolf had satisfied thus his hunger, he laid himself down again on the bed, and went to sleep and snored very loudly. A huntsman passing by overheard him, and said, “How loudly that old woman snores! I must see if anything is the matter.”

So he went into the cottage; and when he came to the bed, he saw the Wolf sleeping in it. "What! are you here, you old rascal? I have been looking for you,” he exclaimed; and taking up his gun, he shot the old Wolf through the head.

But it is also said that the story ends in a different manner; for that one day, when Red-Cap was taking some presents to her grandmother, a Wolf met her, and wanted to mislead her; but she went straight on, and told her grandmother that she had met a Wolf, who said good day, and who looked so hungrily out of his great eyes, as if he would have eaten her up had she not been on the high-road .

So her grandmother said, "We will shut the door, and then he cannot get in." Soon after, up came the Wolf, who tapped, and exclaimed, “I am Little Red-Cap, grandmother; I have some meat roast for you.” But they kept quite quiet, and did not open the door; so the Wolf, after looking several times round the house, at last jumped on the roof, thinking to wait till Red-Cap went home in the evening, and then to creep after her and eat her in the darkness. The old woman, however, saw what the villain intended. There stood before the door a large stone trough, and she said to Little Red-Cap, "Take this bucket, dear: yesterday I boiled some meat in this water, now pour it into the stone trough." Then the Wolf sniffed the smell of the meat, and his mouth watered, and he wished very much to taste. At last he stretched his neck too far over, so that he lost his balance, and fell down from the roof, right into the great trough below, and there he was drowned.

Brothers Grimm
red Riding Hood

Wow, what a sweet little girl she was! She was sweet to everyone who only saw her; well, and she was the sweetest and dearest of all to her grandmother, who didn’t even know what to give her, her beloved granddaughter.
Once she gave her a red velvet cap, and since this cap suited her very well and she did not want to wear anything else, they began to call her Little Red Riding Hood. One day her mother said to her: “Well, Little Red Riding Hood, here, take this piece of cake and a bottle of wine, take it to your grandmother; she is both sick and weak, and it will do her good. Get out of the house before the heat sets in, and when you get out, go smart and don’t run to the side of the road, otherwise, you’ll probably fall and break the bottle, and then grandma won’t get anything. And when you come to your grandmother, do not forget to say hello to her, and not just to look into all the corners first, and then go up to your grandmother. “I’ll do everything right,” said Little Red Riding Hood to her mother and assured her of that with her word.
And my grandmother lived in the forest itself, half an hour's walk from the village. And as soon as Little Red Riding Hood entered the forest, she met a wolf. The girl, however, did not know what kind of fierce beast it was, and was not at all afraid of him. "Hello Little Red Riding Hood," he said. "Thank you for your kind words, wolf." “Where did you get out so early, Little Red Riding Hood?” - "To Grandma". “What are you carrying under your apron?” “Piece of pie and wine. Yesterday our mother baked pies, and so she sends a sick and weak grandmother to please her and strengthen her strength. “Little Red Riding Hood, where does your grandmother live?” - “And here is another good quarter of an hour further in the forest, under three old oaks; there stands her house, surrounded by a hedge of hazel. Will you know now?” said Little Red Riding Hood.
And the wolf thought to himself: “This little, tender girl will be a nice piece for me, cleaner than an old woman; it is necessary to work it out so cunningly so that both of them hit me in the tooth.
So he went for some time with Little Red Riding Hood next to her and began to say to her: “Look at these glorious flowers that grow around - look around! You, perhaps, don’t even hear the birds, how they sing? You go, as if to school, without turning around; and in the forest, go, how fun!
Little Red Riding Hood looked up, and as she saw the rays of the sun cutting through the quivering foliage of trees, as she looked at the many wonderful flowers, she thought: “What if I brought a fresh bunch of flowers to my grandmother, because that would also please her; now it’s still so early that I’ll always have time to get to her on time!” Yes, and ran off the road to the side, into the forest, and began to pick flowers. She picks one flower a little, and another beckons her, even better, and she will run after it, and so farther and farther she went into the depths of the forest.
And the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at the door. "Who's there?" - "Red Riding Hood; I bring you a pie and wine, open it!” - "Press on the latch," Grandma shouted, "I'm too weak and I can't get out of bed."
The wolf pressed the latch, the door swung open, and he entered the grandmother's hut; he rushed straight to his grandmother's bed and swallowed it all at once.
Then he put on his grandmother's dress and her cap on her head, lay down in bed and drew the curtains all around.
Little Red Riding Hood, meanwhile, ran and ran for flowers, and when she picked up as many as she could carry, then she again remembered her grandmother and went to her house.
She was very surprised that the door was wide open, and when she entered the room, everything seemed so strange to her that she thought: “Oh, my God, why is it so scary for me here today, but I’m always with it was such a pleasure to look after my grandmother! So she said: "Good morning!"
No answer.
She went up to the bed, drew aside the curtains, and saw: grandmother was lying, and she had pulled her bonnet down to her very nose, and it seemed so strange.
“Grandma, what about grandma? Why do you have such big ears?” “So that I can hear you better.” - "Ah, grandmother, but what big eyes you have!" "That's so I can see you better." - “Grandma, what big hands you have!” "That's so I can hug you more easily." “But, grandmother, why do you have such a nasty big mouth?” “And then so that I can eat you!” And as soon as the wolf said this, he jumped out from under the blanket and swallowed poor Little Red Riding Hood.
Having satiated in this way, the wolf again lay down on the bed, fell asleep, and began to snore with all his might.
The hunter was just at that time passing by his grandmother's house and thought: “What is this old woman snoring like that, has something happened to her?”
He entered the house, went to the bed and saw that the wolf had climbed into it. “That's where I got you, you old sinner! the hunter said. "I've been getting to you for a long time."
And he wanted to kill him with a gun, but it occurred to him that the wolf, perhaps, had swallowed the grandmother and that it was still possible to save her; therefore he did not shoot, but took scissors and began to rip open the belly of the sleeping wolf.
As soon as he cut it, he saw that a little red riding hood flashed there; and then he began to cut, and a girl jumped out of there and exclaimed: “Oh, how scared I was, how I got caught by a wolf in his dark womb!”
And after Little Red Riding Hood, the old grandmother somehow got out and could hardly catch her breath.
At this point, Little Red Riding Hood quickly dragged large stones, which they piled into the wolf's belly and sewed up the incision; and when he woke up, he wanted to sneak away; but could not endure the burden of stones, fell to the ground and died.
This pleased all three: the hunter immediately skinned the wolf and went home with her, the grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine that Little Red Riding Hood brought her, and this finally strengthened her, and Little Red Riding Hood thought: “Well, now I will never run away from the main road in the forest, I won’t disobey my mother’s order anymore.

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day her mother, having made some cakes, said to her, "Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, for I hear she has been very ill. Take her a cake, and this little pot of butter.”

Little Red Riding Hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother, who lived in another village.

As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest. He asked her where she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, "I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother.”

"Does she live far off?" said the wolf

“Oh I say,” answered Little Red Riding Hood; “it is beyond that mill you see there, at the first house in the village.”

"Well," said the wolf, "and I'll go and see her too. I'll go this way and go you that, and we shall see who will be there first.”

The wolf ran as fast as he could, taking the shortest path, and the little girl took a roundabout way, entertaining herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers. It was not long before the wolf arrived at the old woman's house. He knocked at the door: tap, tap.

"Who's there?"

“Your grandchild, Little Red Riding Hood,” replied the wolf, counterfeiting her voice; “who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter sent you by mother.”

The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out, “Pull the string, and the latch will go up.”

The wolf pulled the string n, and the door opened, and then he immediately fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a moment, for it has been more than three days since he had eaten. He then shut the door and got into the grandmother’s bed, expecting Little Red Riding Hood, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door: tap, tap.

"Who's there?"

Little Red Riding Hood, hearing the big voice of the wolf, was at first afraid; but believing her grandmother had a cold and was hoarse, answered, "It is your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood, who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter mother sends you.”

The wolf cried out to her, softening his voice as much as he could, “Pull the string, and the latch will go up.”

Little Red Riding Hood pulled the string, and the door opened.

The wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come sit on the bed with me.”

Little Red Riding Hood sat on the bed. She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, "Grandmother, what big arms you have!"

"All the better to hug you with, my dear."

"Grandmother, what big legs you have!"

"All the better to run with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big ears you have!"

"All the better to hear with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big eyes you have!"

"All the better to see with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!"

"All the better to eat you up with."

And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her all up.

The woodcutters were passing by the house. They heard the noise, rushed to the house and killed the wolf. And out came Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. They were safe and sound and very happy!
