Tale Summary
Little Red Riding Hood is sent to her Granny’s house to deliver honey and butter. On her way, she meets a wolf and convinces the hunters in the forest to spare his life. The wolf asks Little Red Riding Hood what she is doing in the forest, and she tells the wolf about her Granny. The wolf then beats Little Red Riding Hood to Granny’s house. The wolf eats Granny and then dresses in her clothes, trying to fool Little Red Riding Hood. After Little Red arrives, the wolf calls her over to the bed and is just about to eat her up when a wasp stings him on his nose. This makes him sneeze, which scares a nearby bird, which alerts one of the huntsmen, who shoots an arrow at the wolf, killing him. Little Red is saved and is forever after wary of strangers.
