Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is yet another fairytale with a happy ending ,though the story in it's revised form is comical .A little girl on her way to deliver some food to her sick Grandma ,she meets a wolf and like an idiot tells the wolf exactly where to find Granny .Wolfie wastes no time in skedaddling over to Granny's where depending on if you're reading a very very tamed children's version or just a slightly tamed version locks her in the closet or eats her. Then the wolf puts on the Grandma's nightgown ,jumps into bed and pulls the covers up.Red shows up and we have very witty banter between the two before the wolf jumps up prepared to devour the girl .Of course since this is a fairy tale it will have a happy ending and it comes in the form of a woodsman who happened to be passing by . So that's the whole story you say ? Well,yes and no .That was the revised version this is the one of the versions .I know

In the original story there is a red cloak and a wolf ,but no woods-cutter. The wolf is not seen as an ordinary- howl -at -the- moon wolf he may or may not be a werewolf,that's up for debate of course. The wolf eats the Grandma and when Little Red shows up the wolf tells her to shed her clothing and toss it in the fire . The girl is not stupid,and she tricks the wolf into letting her go.

Then there's another version in which Gran and Red get eaten end of story,nighty night kids
