Once upon a time, there was a child named Charlotte who lived with their mother in a little house in the mountains. The house was small, but it was full of love and laughter. Charlotte loved to play with their mother in the garden, and they had a big, fluffy dog named Spot.
Charlotte loved to play pretend, and their favorite game was Monsters. She would run around the house pretending to be a fearsome creature, roaring and stomping! But more than anything, Charlotte adored their grandmother. Their grandmother had sewn a red hood to keep Charlotte warm, and because of this, everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood. The hood looked great on Charlotte, especially considering her black eyes and blonde hair.
One day, Charlotte’s mother asked her to go to their grandmother’s house in the next valley. Their grandmother was feeling a bit sick and needed care. "Charlotte," her mother said, "take the road, which is longer but safer, instead of the path through the forest. It's more dangerous there!" Charlotte’s mother explained this, considering Charlotte’s Sporty personality.
Charlotte’s mother prepared a basket full of delicious food to help care for their grandmother. Nothing helps an illness better than a meal made with love! Charlotte, or rather, Little Red Riding Hood, left home with her hood and the basket of food, promising to return the next day! Charlotte resisted eating any of the food, considering her Sporty personality.
As soon as Little Red Riding Hood left the house, she met a wolf. The wolf was evil but pretended to be kind. He asked where Charlotte was going. "I'm taking food to my grandmother," Charlotte told him. The wolf said goodbye and went on his way, and so did Charlotte.
Charlotte took the longer but safer path. However, what Charlotte didn’t know was that the wolf had taken the forest path and planned to reach their 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 Charlotte arrived at her grandmother’s house, the wolf, dressed in the grandmother’s clothes, pretended to be her to deceive Charlotte.
"Grandma, why are your eyes so big?" Charlotte asked. The wolf, disguised as the grandmother, said, "It’s to see Little Red Riding Hood better." Then Charlotte asked, "Why is your nose so big?" The disguised wolf said, "It’s to smell you better!" Then Charlotte asked, "Why is your mouth so big?" The wolf couldn’t resist any longer and pounced on Charlotte, saying, "It’s to taste you better!"
A wise old woodsman, who had magical powers, was walking through the forest. The old man heard Charlotte in trouble! Before the wolf could eat Little Red Riding Hood, the old man entered the house and saved the child.
The magical woodsman enchanted the wolf, making him tame and gentle, and put him to sleep. Charlotte 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!
Charlotte hugged her beloved grandmother! Charlotte, wearing her red hood that covered her straight hair, thanked the woodsman and offered him the delicious food her mother had prepared!
That night, Charlotte, her grandmother, and the magical woodsman enjoyed the delicious food made by Charlotte’s mother.
