LITTLE RED RIDING

HOOD

ANGGRETA GALUH AURIADINI


03 / XI A 6
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who
lived in a village near the forest.  Whenever, she
went out, the little girl wore a red riding cloak, so
everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding
Hood. One morning, Little Red Riding Hood
asked her mother if she could go to visit her
grandmother as it had been awhile since they'd
seen each other. "That's a good idea," her
mother said.  So they packed a nice basket for
Little Red Riding Hood to take to her
grandmother.
When the basket was ready,
the little girl put on her red
cloak and kissed her mother
goodbye. "Remember, go
straight to Grandma's house,"
her mother cautioned.  "Don't
dawdle along the way and
please don't talk to strangers! 
The woods are dangerous.
"Don't worry, mommy," said
Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll be
careful."
But when Little Red Riding Hood
noticed some lovely flowers in the
woods, she forgot her promise to
her mother.  She picked a few,
watched the butterflies flit about
for awhile, listened to the frogs
croaking and then picked a few
more.  Little Red Riding Hood was
enjoying the warm summer day so
much, that she didn't notice a
dark shadow approaching out of
the forest behind her..
Suddenly, the wolf appeared
beside her. "What are you doing
out here, little girl?" the wolf asked
in a voice as friendly as he could
muster. "I'm on my way to see my
Grandma who lives through the
forest, near the brook," Little Red
Riding Hood replied. Then she
realized how late she was and
quickly excused herself, rushing
down the path to her Grandma's
house.  The wolf, in the meantime,
took a shortcut..
The wolf, a little out of breath
from running, arrived at Grandma's
and knocked lightly at the door.
"Oh thank goodness dear!  Come
in, come in!  I was worried sick that
something had happened to you in
the forest," said Grandma thinking
that the knock was her
granddaughter. The wolf let
himself in.  Poor Granny did not
have time to say another word,
before the wolf gobbled her up!
The wolf let out a satisfied burp,
and then poked through Granny's
wardrobe to find a nightgown that
he liked.  He added a frilly sleeping
cap, and for good measure, dabbed
some of Granny's perfume behind
his pointy ears. A few minutes later,
Red Riding Hood knocked on the
door.  The wolf jumped into bed and
pulled the covers over his nose. 
"Who is it?" he called in a crackly
voice."It's me, Little Red Riding
Hood.""Oh how lovely!  Do come in,
my dear," croaked the wolf.
When Little Red Riding Hood entered
the little cottage, she could scarcely
recognize her Grandmother.
"Grandmother!  You voice sounds so
odd.  Is something the matter?" she
asked.
"Oh, I just have touch of a cold,"
squeaked the wolf adding a cough at
the end to prove the point.
"But Grandmother!  What big ears
you have," said Little Red Riding
Hood as she edged closer to the bed.
"
The better to hear you with, my
dear," replied the wolf."But
Grandmother! 
What big eyes you have," said Little
Red Riding Hood. "The better to see
you with, my dear," replied the wolf.
"But Grandmother!  What big teeth
you have," said Little Red Riding
Hood her voice quivering slightly.
"The better to eat you with, my
dear," roared the wolf and he leapt
out of the bed and began to chase
the little girl.
Almost too late, Little Red Riding
Hood realized that the person in the
bed was not her Grandmother, but a
hungry wolf. She ran across the room
and through the door, shouting,
"Help!  Wolf!" as loudly as she could.
A woodsman who was chopping logs
nearby heard her cry and ran towards
the cottage as fast as he could. He
grabbed the wolf and made him spit
out the poor Grandmother who was a
bit frazzled by the whole experience,
but still in one piece.
"Oh Grandma, I was so scared!" 
sobbed Little Red Riding Hood, "I'll
never speak to strangers or dawdle
in the forest again. "There, there,
child.  You've learned an important
lesson.  Thank goodness you
shouted loud enough for this kind
woodsman to hear you!”
The woodsman knocked out the
wolf and carried him deep into the
forest where he wouldn't bother
people any longer. Little Red
Riding Hood and her Grandmother
had a nice lunch and a long chat.
