Once upon a time, there was a child named Scarlett who lived with their mother in a little house in the mountains. Their house was small and cozy, with a warm fireplace and windows that looked out onto the snow-covered peaks. Scarlett loved living in the mountains, and she loved to play in the snow with her mother.
Scarlett loved ballet. She would twirl and leap across the living room, her blonde hair bouncing as she danced. But more than anything, she adored her grandmother! Her grandmother had sewn a red hood to keep Scarlett warm, and because of this, everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood. The hood looked great on Scarlett, especially considering her blue eyes.
One day, Scarlett’s mother asked her to go to her grandmother’s house in the next valley. "Grandmother is feeling a bit sick, and she needs your help," her mother said. "Please take the road, it’s longer but safer. The path through the forest is a little dangerous, and you are such an elegant little lady."
Scarlett’s mother prepared a basket full of delicious food to help care for her grandmother. Nothing helps an illness better than a meal made with love! Scarlett, or rather, Little Red Riding Hood, left home with her hood and the basket of food, promising to return the next day. Scarlett resisted eating any of the food. She was too elegant to eat before a visit.
As soon as Scarlett left the house, she met a wolf. The wolf, who was evil but pretended to be kind, asked where she was going. “I’m taking food to my grandmother,” Scarlett said. The wolf said goodbye and went on his way. Scarlett continued on the longer, but safer path.
What Scarlett didn’t know was that the wolf had taken the forest path and planned to reach her grandmother’s house before her. And so he did. The wolf arrived at the grandmother’s house and ate the old lady in one bite!
When Scarlett arrived at her grandmother’s house, the wolf, dressed in the grandmother’s clothes, pretended to be her to deceive Scarlett. “Why are your eyes so big, Grandma?” Scarlett asked. “It’s so I can see you better, Little Red Riding Hood,” the wolf said. “Why is your nose so big?” Scarlett asked. “It’s so I can smell you better,” the wolf said. “Why is your mouth so big?” Scarlett asked. The wolf couldn’t resist any longer and pounced on Scarlett, saying, "It’s so I can taste you better!”
A wise old woodsman, who had magical powers, was walking through the forest. The old man heard Scarlett in trouble! Before the wolf could eat Little Red Riding Hood, the woodsman entered the house and saved the child.
The magical woodsman enchanted the wolf, making him tame and gentle. He put the wolf to sleep. Scarlett told the woodsman that the wolf had eaten her grandmother. The woodsman smiled, saying that no evil could defeat goodness! With just a wave of his hands, he freed the grandmother from the wolf’s belly!
Scarlett hugged her beloved grandmother. Scarlett, wearing her red hood that covered her straight hair, thanked the woodsman and offered him the delicious food her mother had prepared. That night, Scarlett, her grandmother, and the magical woodsman enjoyed the delicious food made by Scarlett’s mother.
