Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else so she was always called Little Red- Cap. One day her mother said to her Come Little Red-Cap here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine take them to your grandmother she is ill and weak and they will do her good. Set out before it gets hot and when you are going walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path or you may fall and break the bottle and then your grandmother will get nothing and when you go into her room don t forget to say Good morning and don t peep into every corner before you do it. I will take great care said Little Red-Cap to her mother and gave her hand on it. The grandmother lived out in the wood half a league from the village and just as Little Red-Cap entered the wood a wolf met her. Red-Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was and was not at all afraid of him. Good day Little Red-Cap said he. Thank you kindly wolf. Whither away so early Little Red-Cap To my grandmother s. What have you got in your apron Cake and wine yesterday was baking-day so poor sick grandmother is to have something good to make her stronger. Where does your grandmother live Little Red-Cap A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood her house stands under the three large oak-trees the nut-trees are just below you surely must know it replied Little Red-Cap. The wolf thought to himself What a tender young creature what a nice plump mouthful she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily so as to catch both. So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red-Cap and then he said See Little Red-Cap how pretty the flowers are about here why do you not look round I believe too that you do not hear how .
