Little Red Riding Hood
A Children's Story Classic
There was once a sweet little maid who lived with her
father and mother in a pretty little cottage at the edge
of the village. At the further end of the wood was
another pretty cottage and in it lived her grandmother.
Everybody loved this little girl, her grandmother
perhaps loved her most of all and gave her a great
many pretty things. Once she gave her a red cloak with
a hood which she always wore, so people called her
Little Red Riding Hood.
One morning Little Red Riding Hood's mother said,
"Put on your things and go to see your grandmother.
She has been ill; take along this basket for her. I have
put in it eggs, butter and cake, and other dainties."
It was a bright and sunny morning. Red Riding Hood
was so happy that at first she wanted to dance through
the wood. All around her grew pretty wild flowers
which she loved so well and she stopped to pick a
bunch for her grandmother.

the wood. All around her grew pretty wild flowers
which she loved so well and she stopped to pick a
bunch for her grandmother.
Little Red Riding Hood wandered from her path and was stooping to pick a flower when
from behind her a gruff voice said, "Good morning, Little Red Riding Hood." Little Red
Riding Hood turned around and saw a great big wolf, but Little Red Riding Hood did not
know what a wicked beast the wolf was, so she was not afraid.
"What have you in that basket, Little Red Riding Hood?"
"Eggs and butter and cake, Mr. Wolf."
"Where are you going with them, Little Red Riding Hood?"
"I am going to my grandmother, who is ill, Mr. Wolf."
"Where does your grandmother live, Little Red Riding Hood?"
"Along that path, past the wild rose bushes, then through the gate at the end of the wood,
Mr. Wolf."
Then Mr. Wolf again said "Good morning" and set off, and Little Red Riding Hood again
went in search of wild flowers.
At last he reached the porch covered with flowers and knocked at the door of the cottage.
"Who is there?" called the grandmother.
"Little Red Riding Hood," said the wicked wolf.
"Press the latch, open the door, and walk in," said the grandmother.
The wolf pressed the latch, and walked in where the grandmother lay in bed. He made one
jump at her, but she jumped out of bed into a closet. Then the wolf put on the cap which
she had dropped and crept under the bedclothes.

In a short while Little Red Riding Hood knocked

morning, Grandmother, I have brought you eggs,
butter and cake, and here is a bunch of flowers I
gathered in the wood." As she came nearer the
bed she said, "What big ears you have,
Grandmother."
"All the better to hear you with, my dear."
"What big eyes you have, Grandmother."
"All the better to see you with, my dear."
"But, Grandmother, what a big nose you have."
"All the better to smell with, my dear."
"But, Grandmother, what a big mouth you have."
"All the better to eat you up with, my dear," he
said as he sprang at Little Red Riding Hood.
