9th: Little Red Cap

The grandmother lived far away in the wood, a long walk from the village, and as Little Red-Cap came among the trees she met a Wolf. She didn't know the wickedness of the animal, so she was not frightened. By talking with her, Wolf knew what she would do. The Wolf was thinking to himself that her fresh must be good taste. He decided to eat not only the girl but also her grandmother.

The Wolf recommended her looking at the flowers and hearing the birds sweetly singing. She decided to gather flowers for pleasing her grandmother. While she doing it, the Wolf ran straight to the house of the old grandmother. He knocked at the door, pretended to be Little Red-Cap, and ate the old lady.
