    Once upon a time there was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood.
    One day her mother called her and told her to take a basket filled with delicious things to her Grand-Mother, who was very sick. She advised her not to go through the woods. Riding Hood disobeyed her mother and followed through a short -cut in the woods.She stopped to pick up flowers while the Bad Wolf watched her near by.
    She crossed the woods to get to the Grand-Mother’s house, but the Bad Wolf watched her and arrived first to the house.
    Once there, he locked the Grand-Mother in the closet, dressed himself with her clothes and waited lying on her bed.
    When Riding Hood arrived, she went near her Grand-Mother and noticed that she was a little different, so she asked her why her eyes, ears and mouth were so big. The Bad Wolf answered that the eyes were to see her better, the ears were to hear her better and the mouth was to eat her faster.
    Riding Hood was very frightened and cried for help. A hunter who was passing by heard her and went into the house, caught the wolf and rescued Riding Hood.
    Suddenly they heard a scream; Riding Hood opened the closet door and saw her Grand-Mother.
    The hunter saved the Grand-Mother and Riding Hood and went away.
