Little Red Riding Hood
Charles Perrault
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
8. 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 bobbin, and the latch will go
up."
The wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door opened, and then he
immediately fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a
9. moment, for it 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 bobbin, and the latch will go up."
Little Red Riding Hood pulled the bobbin, 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 get into bed with me."
Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and got into 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."
10. "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.
Moral: Children, especially attractive, well bred young ladies,
should never talk to strangers, for if they should do so, they
may well provide dinner for a wolf. I say "wolf," but there are
various kinds of wolves. There are also those who are charming,
quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue
young women at home and in the streets. And unfortunately, it
is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all.
