The story is short and fast-paced, perfect for bedtime reading. Most parents choose this simple story as the first story for their little one.

Briefly about the adventures of Little Red Riding Hood

In a small village there lived a girl called Little Red Riding Hood. Her mother loved her very much and always protected her only child. For the holiday, she gave her daughter a beautiful hat made of soft red fabric. The girl loved the hat so much that she wore it every day and in any weather. That's where her memorable nickname came from!

One day the girl was going to visit her old grandmother. Mother gathered her a basket of pies, put a pot of butter, and gave her strict instructions. Little Red Riding Hood listened to her mother and went along the path through the forest to the familiar house.

At that time, many wild animals lived in the dense forest. One of the wolves was so hungry for three days that he rushed to the girl, seeing her beautiful hat. He didn't eat her just because she was small and skinny. Instead, the wolf found out where Little Red Riding Hood was going. Having outwitted the little one, he ran to the grandmother's house by a short path, and Riding Hood wandered along the long path and collected flower bouquets.

When the girl reached the house, she knocked and heard a hoarse voice. Frightened that her grandmother, who had caught a cold, said so, she ran into the house. Leaving the basket, the girl spoke to the wolf, which had already eaten the old woman and was sleeping in her bed.

Riding Hood began to ask "grandmother" questions, and the wolf patiently answered. In an instant, the predator suddenly pounced and swallowed the girl whole, but at that moment bold woodcutters with sharpened axes passed by. They heard screams, ran into the house and killed the wolf with one blow. Having ripped open his belly, the good fellows helped the grandmother and granddaughter to get out into the light of God safe and sound!

Some historical and literary facts

The girl in the red cap was invented by ordinary people. The plot is taken from folk tales, and first it was reworked by the brilliant Charles Perrault, and then the famous Grimm brothers took up the description of the story.

Some interesting facts about the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood"

- In the popular version, the story had a sad end. The wolf nevertheless ate the grandmother, and offered the remains of her body for dinner to his beloved granddaughter. The cat tried to warn Riding Hood, but the gluttonous wolf killed and ate the unfortunate cat.

- According to legend, when Riding Hood lay on the bed with her grandmother, she asked why you have so much black hair?

- The little girl was so kind, naive and trusting that the wolf swallowed her in an instant, and there were no rescue hunters in the folk tale.

- Charles Perrault invented an old headdress for his heroine - a chaperon. City ladies did not wear it, but in the countryside it was very popular. It was a bonnet with a shoulder cape, which was fastened with strings around the neck.

- Perrault removed the terrible voracity of the wolf from the fairy tale, but left the moral - you can’t talk to unfamiliar wolves on the way, and even more so tell them where your beloved grandmother lives.

Note to readers!

The Brothers Grimm, in their version of the tale, softened the plot and "saved" Little Red Riding Hood. And the famous Russian writer Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev wrote his own retelling of French history and added his author's details to the old legend.

There lived a little girl. Her mother loved her without memory, and her grandmother even more. For her granddaughter's birthday, her grandmother gave her a red cap. Since then, the girl went everywhere in it. Neighbors said this about her:

Here comes Little Red Riding Hood!

Once mom baked a pie and said to her daughter:

Go, Little Red Riding Hood, to your grandmother, bring her a pie and a pot of butter and find out if she is healthy.

Little Red Riding Hood got ready and went to her grandmother.

She goes through the forest, and towards her is a gray wolf.

Where are you going, Little Red Riding Hood? - asks the Wolf.

I go to my grandmother and bring her a pie and a pot of butter.

How far does your grandmother live?

Far away, - replies Little Red Riding Hood. - Over there in that village, behind the mill, in the first house from the edge.

Okay, - says the Wolf, - I also want to visit your grandmother. I'll go down this road, and you go down that one. Let's see which one of us comes first.

The Wolf said this and ran, which was in his spirit, along the shortest path.

And Little Red Riding Hood went along the longest road. She walked slowly, stopping along the way, picking flowers and collecting them in bouquets. Before she had even reached the mill, the Wolf had already galloped up to her grandmother's house and was knocking on the door: knock-knock!

Who's there? - asks the grandmother.

It's me, your granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood, - the Wolf answers, - I came to visit you, I brought a pie and a pot of butter.

Grandmother was sick at the time and was in bed. She thought that it really was Little Red Riding Hood, and she called out:

Pull the string, my child, and the door will open!

The wolf pulled the rope - the door opened.

The wolf rushed at the grandmother and swallowed her at once. He was very hungry because he had not eaten anything for three days. Then he closed the door, lay down on his grandmother's bed and began to wait for Little Red Riding Hood.

Soon she came and knocked:
Knock Knock!

Little Red Riding Hood was frightened, but then she thought that her grandmother was hoarse from a cold, and answered:

It's me, your granddaughter. I brought you a pie and a pot of butter!

The wolf cleared his throat and said more subtly:

Pull the string, my child, and the door will open.

Little Red Riding Hood pulled the rope-door and opened it. The girl entered the house, and the Wolf hid under the covers and said:

Put the pie on the table, granddaughter, put the pot on the shelf, and lie down next to me!

Little Red Riding Hood lay down next to the Wolf and asked:

Grandma, why do you have such big hands?

This is to hug you tighter, my child.

Grandma, why do you have such big ears?

To hear better, my child.

Grandma, why do you have such big eyes?

To see better, my child.

Grandma, why do you have such big teeth?

And this is to eat you sooner, my child!

Before Little Red Riding Hood had time to gasp, the Wolf rushed at her and swallowed her.

But, fortunately, at that time, woodcutters with axes on their shoulders were passing by the house. They heard a noise, ran into the house and killed the Wolf. And then they ripped open his belly, and Little Red Riding Hood came out, followed by her grandmother - both safe and sound.

Have you read Little Red Riding Hood to your children? I recommend reading this tale only not in the translation of Ch. Perro, but in the interpretation of the Latvian writer Karlis Skalbe. Believe me, this tale is no less interesting and fascinating, and it also tells about grandmother's habits. You are interested? Then read on!

Grandma's eyes were getting worse. She knitted a red cap for her granddaughter so that she could see better when the girl was walking towards her along the overgrown road. Grandmother lived on the edge of the forest in a small house, she was waiting for her granddaughter to visit. From the window, grandmother could clearly see how the girl was walking through the field like a red ladybug: herself in the grass, and her head out. The cap for the granddaughter turned out to be big, and whoever meets Little Red Riding Hood, everyone is surprised is it a girl or a red fungus? If you meet someone, say hello, mother said to Little Red Riding Hood, escorting the girl to the door.

Hello Hello! Little Red Riding Hood said to everyone she met on the way.
And all people were good uncles and aunts for her. One day she met a dog on the way. Hello, the girl said and curtsied. The dog stopped, wagged his tail and barked with joy that there were such cute children in the world. And on the way home, he remembered all his pranks. How he stole meat from the pantry and, as always, strove to grab the host's guests by the leg. He was ashamed and decided to correct himself.

One day, Little Red Riding Hood picked strawberries and decided to take them to her grandmother. Mom tied a white apron on the girl, and she took in both hands a green jug filled with bright red strawberries. If wormholes or horse tracks came across under her feet, the girl held a handful of berries with her hand, so as not to scatter. So she walked through the green forest and said to everyone she met: “Hello!”
Suddenly, a wolf jumped out of the bushes. A hunter with dogs was chasing him. The wolf wanted to cross the road, but he saw Little Red Riding Hood and stopped.

Hello! - said Little Red Riding Hood and trustingly approached him.
"Hello," growled the wolf, and his eyes lit up. - What are you carrying?

I'm bringing berries to my grandmother, - answered Little Red Riding Hood and raised the jug. What a sweet child, thought the wolf. - Should I eat it now or wait? No, it will be fine…”

I'm the neighbor's dog," said the wolf, looking into the girl's eyes and wagging his tail like a dog. - Let's go together.

All right, little dog, just don't push me with your head, otherwise you will knock over the jug, said Little Red Riding Hood, covering the berries with her hand. "And don't get my apron dirty."

Give me a berry, - the wolf asked and opened his mouth.

Catch! - said Little Red Riding Hood and threw him the reddest one, and the strawberry hit the wolf on the very tongue.

More! demanded the wolf.

Oh, doggy, what red eyes you have! - exclaimed Little Red Riding Hood, and her berries fell on the ground,

This is from your berries, - said the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood stood and trembled.

Look into my eyes, there is nothing there but the forest and your berries, the wolf assured her.

Oh, doggy, don't look at me, all my berries are crumbling. I always carry a full jug with a slide to my grandmother. And now she’ll think that I ate everything myself.” You’d better go alone.

Well, I'll go and tell my grandmother that she will have a guest, - said the wolf and rushed through the juniper bushes.

He saw that the grandmother went to the river bank for herbs. The room was empty. The wolf walked up to the house and knocked on the door three times with his paw. Nobody responded.

The wolf pushed the door open with his muzzle and entered. There was a bed in the room, like a tower, with three featherbeds and six white pillows like swans.

The green blanket was carefully tucked in around the edges, and in its folds good grandmother's Habits dozed. Bunches of dried herbs hung on the walls. There was also chamomile, and mousetail, and mullein, and many other herbs.

The room smelled like the barn where the wolf had once spent the night hiding from the hunters—cumin and drying leaves. On a chair, near the bed, lay a prayer book and a neatly folded grandmother's cap. The wolf put a cap on his head, pulled back the covers and jumped into bed.

Creak-creak, - the bed creaked with all four legs. - Wolf-wolf!
Frightened grandmother's Habits spilled out of bed and scattered around the corners like timid gray mice.

There was a string of the finest Habits making! Habit of Knitting, Habit of Patching and Habit of Making Gifts. And there was one Habit there, it looked like a squirrel with a crooked yellow forelock: it was the Habit of Gnawing Crusts. She climbed into a corner, onto a basket of crusts, and trembled and shook her paws.
- Slap-slap, - bare feet slapped on the flat stone in front of the door.
- Hello, grandma! - said Little Red Riding Hood and entered.
- Hello, granddaughter! the wolf answered in a grandmother's voice and groaned:
- Oh, how my back hurts!
- And I brought you berries. - Little Red Riding Hood came up and served a jug.
- Oh! she screamed shortly.

And the wolf grabbed her, dragged her onto the bed and swallowed - um! Then, raising his muzzle, he sniffed the air: where did the girl go? Before that, he was hungry.

Tra-ra-ra-ra1 - This is a hunter walking through the forest and blowing a horn.

Two dogs, tongues out, rush ahead and look for the wolf on the trail. So they ran up to the door of the house and, whining, look back at the hunter. The hunter takes off his gun from his shoulder and quietly opens the door. Stretched out on the bed, there lies a wolf, and his belly is huge, like two wolves.

“Didn’t he swallow someone, the scoundrel!” - the hunter thought, took aim: bam! - and the wolf rolled over in bed and stuck out his tongue.

And the hunter quickly pulled out a knife from his belt and cut open the belly of the wolf.

Hello! - said Little Red Riding Hood and crawled out of the wolf's belly.

She was whole and unharmed, only looked a little sleepy and rumpled, like a lamb sleeping in the moss.
The hunter took her off the bed, and dragged the wolf out the door. As soon as he did this, the grandmother entered with a bunch of fragrant medicinal herbs.

When the hunter told her what had happened, she threw up her hands and released the end of her apron. Leaves of blackcurrant, St. John's wort and mullein scattered on the floor.

Then the grandmother quickly found St. John's wort, but there was not a single scratch on Little Red Riding Hood; the wolf swallowed her whole.

Well, then it will be enough to drink from fright, - the grandmother said joyfully and took a bunch of dried grass from the shelf. And while she was brewing weed, the hunter came out and skinned the wolf.

Well, what could be next? Little Red Riding Hood grew big, and the cap became small for her. Grandmother died, and her good Habits were buried with her in the grave, and it's so calm there, not a single wolf will disturb them, and they live for themselves, like mice in a mink. All of them are still alive, because good Habits, as you know, are eternal. Only the Crust Gnawing Habit grew old and lost its only tooth.

And Little Red Riding Hood is now a big and smart girl and no longer greets the wolf.
