The Story of Little Red Riding Hood (Le Petit Chaperon Rouge)

"My dear, your grandmother is unwell. Please take these cookies and this jar of butter to her cottage."

When her mother placed the red velvet hood on her head, the child never imagined it would become her shroud. The forest path was dark, and the wind between the trees growled like a hungry beast. And there, she met him. "Where are you going in such a lovely outfit, little lady?" To the wolf, who softened his voice like smooth leather, the innocent child politely explained where her grandmother’s cottage was. A strange gleam flashed in the wolf’s eyes as he hurried toward the shortcut. The cottage door opened easily. The frail grandmother had no chance to resist before the wolf overpowered her, and soon the dim room filled with unsettling, muffled sounds of his grim work. "Scrape, scrape."Amused by his own wickedness, the wolf arranged what remained of the grandmother with eerie care, collecting the dark red traces into a bottle. Then he put on her nightgown, crawled into the bed, and pulled the blanket over his head. Before long, there came a knock. Tok, tok, tok. "Open the door, child. Just lift the latch." A rasping voice seeped out from beneath the blanket. Little Red Riding Hood
