BR 1-15: The story of Little Red Riding Hood

“Remember the rules of the woods,” says Mrs. Red Riding Hood. “Keep to the path and Don’t TALK TO WOLVES!” But Little Red Riding Hood forgets the rules and now she must outwit the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood lived with her mother on the edge of some deep, dark woods. One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother gave her a pot of vegetable soup. Then Little Red Riding Hood’s mother tells Little Red Riding Hood “But remember the Rules of the Woods,” her mother added. Of course, “I will” promised Little Red Riding Hood and she set off. Little Red Riding Hood walked deeper and deeper into the woods. It grew darker and darker. Then the sun hid behind the clouds and it got darker still, so Little Red Riding Hood didn’t see the wolf waiting for her on the path, and the wolf didn’t see Little Red Riding Hood either. Little Red Riding Hood stepped on the wolf’s tail… then on his paw… and dropped her basket SMACK on his head. When it happened, she had forgotten the rule-Don’t talk to wolves. The wolf was about to gobble up Little Red Riding Hood, but then he had an idea. When Little Red Riding Hood left the path to look for flowers that she gave her grandmother, the wolf raced off to the grandmother’s house. The wolf leaped into the room. He gobbled up Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother. Then he climbed into bed to wait for Little Red Riding Hood. Soon he heard a knock at the door. He pulled on the grandmother’s cap and hid under-the blankets. Little Red Riding Hood looked at her grandmother. Of course, she looked again! When Little Red Riding Hood was now standing right next to the bed, he jumped out of bed and gobbled up Little Red Riding Hood. Then he lay down on the bed to sleep. As the wolf slept, he snored… very loudly. He snored so loudly the wood cutter heard him, but the woodcutter couldn’t see the grandmother anywhere-only a very fat wolf. Just then, the woodcutter had an idea. He picked up some scissors. Then he snipped open the wolf’s tummy. Snip, snip… He saw a bright red hood. Snip, snip…Little Red Riding Hood’s head popped out. Snippety-snip, faster and faster… The woodcutter kept cutting until grandmother popped out too. Quick as a flash, Little Red Riding Hood ran outside and picked up lots of stones. The wood cutter put them in the wolf’s tummy and the grandmother sewed the tummy up. The wolf never ate another person. As for Little Red Riding Hood, she never, ever talked to a wolf again.

I think a lot of people around the world know, and they have ever read this story. Little Red Riding Hood of this book story is a little different from the story that I read before. However, this story is interesting, too. Also, the illustrations are very cute, so a lot of people can enjoy reading this book.
