Read the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood online
The fairy tale of Charles Perrault Little Red Riding Hood is one of the undoubted leaders of fairy tale characters all over the world.
The story that happened to the girl is short, but it teaches a lot. The love for Grandmother, fearlessness, kindness of the Riding Hood is put at the ready of the evil of the wolf, who lives alone in the dark forest. The fairy tale is perfect for reading at night, many parents choose this fairy tale as the first fairy tale for their child.
Once upon a time in a village there was a girl of unprecedented beauty: her mother loved her without memory, and her grandmother even more.
Once a grandmother sewed a red hat for her beloved granddaughter, and the girl liked it so much that she did not want to take it off. She went everywhere in her cap, and therefore they began to call her Little Red Riding Hood.
Once a mother has baked pies and says to her daughter:
— Go and visit your grandmother, she is not well. Yes, take her pies and a pot of butter. Look only in the forest, do not stop and do not talk to anyone.
Little Red Riding Hood was an obedient girl, she immediately packed up and went to her grandmother, who lived in another village.
She is walking along a forest path and then a wolf meets her. The wolf wanted to eat it, but was afraid, because the sound of woodcutters was heard nearby. So he asks:
— Where are you going, Little Red Riding Hood?
The poor girl forgot that it is dangerous to stop in the forest and talk to wolves, and answers him:
— I am going to my grandmother; I bring her pies and a pot of butter.
— Does your grandmother live far away? the wolf asks.
- Very far away! - answers Little Red Riding Hood: - over there behind that mill that can be seen at the edge of the forest; and there will be the first house as you enter the village.
“You know,” the wolf says to her, “I’ll go and visit your grandmother.” - I will go this way, and you go on that one: let's see which of us will reach faster.
And the wolf rushed with all his might to run along the shortest road, and the girl wandered slowly along the longest. Along the way, she collected bouquets and sang songs.
The wolf ran first to the grandmother's house. Knocked:
- Knock, knock.
Who is there?
- It's me, your granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood, - answered the wolf in a thin voice: - I brought you pies and a pot of butter.
Grandmother was lying in bed because she was a little unwell, and shouted from there:
— Pull the rope, the door will open by itself.
The wolf pulled the rope, the door opened. He rushed at the old woman and swallowed her at once, because he had not eaten anything for more than three days.
Then he locked the door, lay down in his grandmother's bed and began to wait for Little Red Riding Hood, who after a while reached her grandmother's house and knocked:
— Knock, knock.
Who is there?
Hearing the rough voice, Little Red Riding Hood was frightened at first, but thinking that apparently her grandmother's voice was hoarse due to illness, she answered:
— It's me, your granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood, who brought you pies and a pot of butter.
The wolf called as loud as he could:
- Pull the string, the door will open by itself.
Little Red Riding Hood pulled the string, the door opened. When the girl came in, the wolf wrapped himself tightly in a blanket so that she would not recognize him, and said:
- Put somewhere a pie and a pot of butter, and go lie down with me, rest after the journey.
Little Red Riding Hood lay down next to her and asked:
— Grandmother, grandmother, why do you have such big hands?
— This, granddaughter, to hug you tighter.
— Grandmother, grandmother, why do you have such big ears?
— This, granddaughter, to hear you better.
— Grandmother, grandmother, why do you have such big eyes?
— This, granddaughter, to see you better.
— Grandmother, grandmother, why do you have such big teeth?
— And this is to eat you!
And with these words, the evil wolf rushed at Little Red Riding Hood and swallowed her.
It is good that at that time woodcutters worked in the forest. They heard a noise and ran into the house, where they immediately rushed to the wolf. They freed Little Red Riding Hood and Grandmother. Both were whole and unharmed.
Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most popular fairy tales, not only among the fairy tales of Charles Perrault, but also among the fairy tales of all authors all over the world.
This fairy tale is included in the list of those that are read among the first children. A simple and seemingly uncomplicated story of a girl in a red cap, in fact, is a fairy tale with a deep meaning and psychological overtones.
The fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood is a story with morals and clear conclusions:
- You can’t do what your mother doesn’t tell you
- Don't talk to strangers
- Don't go astray
- Don't be too trusting
However, Little Red Riding Hood is doing bad things. At the first meeting with danger, with a wolf, she forgets all the instructions of her mother and begins to talk with the beast.
