Once upon a time there was a little girl whose grandmother loved her very much. Grandmother’s gift was a little red velvet hood. She wore it every day, so everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood.
One day her mother said, “Take this cake and this jar of berry juice to Grandmother. She is sick and weak. Do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the jar.” “I will take great care,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
