The story of “Little Red Riding Hood” that you have read many times is not the real story of “Little Red Riding Hood.” The real story of “Little Red Riding Hood “is the one we are going to tell you now. Once upon a time there was a really naughty little girl. Everyone who saw her ran away. The reason why she was so angry was the following. When she was four years old her father gave her a hood made of pink silk. She loved her hood so much that she wanted to wear it all the time, so she came to be known as Little Pink Riding Hood. One day her beloved father became very sick and died. This event turned her into a furious little girl. She became mean and started fighting her friends. One day Little Pink Riding Hood and her mother went to a farm. She was upset because she hated nature. When she arrived she saw a peaceful dog sleeping. She kicked the dog because she was angry. What she didn´t know was that it wasn´t a common dog. When they returned home her mother told her that they had been invited to her sister’s house for tea. As she couldn`t go because she had to work she asked Little Pink Riding Hood to go. Little Pink Riding Hood was very tired and weak after having spent the morning in the countryside. She was in a bad mood so she argued with her mother but she had to obey and so she left for the woods where her Auntie lived. Mom, warned her not to leave the path and not to touch plants. Little Pink Riding Hood, did quite the opposite, although she had promised to obey her mother.

The auntie who had a beautiful baby girl lived out in the woods, an hour away from the village. When Little Pink Riding Hood went into the woods, a dog appeared. She did not know what a wicked animal the dog was, and was not afraid of it. The dog, which was the same dog she had kicked in the farm, was nice to her and asked her where she was going. As she was not suspicious because she hadn`t recognized it she answered she was going to her Auntie´s house and gave the dog all the information he needed to get to Auntie’s house before her. The dog was very happy and invited the little girl to enjoy the flowers in the woods and the colorful birds singing. Auntie was the dog´s first target and he wanted to distract her so she wouldn´t get in his way. Little Pink Riding Hood was attracted by the idea of collecting some flowers for her Auntie Bertha. As you can see she was not so mean. The dog ran straight to Auntie`s house and knocked at the door. Auntie Bertha opened the door willing to see Little Pink Riding Hood but she found a dog instead. The mean dog turned into an enormous wolf that kicked Auntie so hard that she fainted. Remember I told you at the beginning that the dog little Pink Riding Hood had kicked was not a common dog. The dog-wolf`s plan was going pretty well. She put Auntie and her beautiful baby on the bed. When Little Pink Riding Hood arrived, she found, to her surprise, that the door was opened. She walked into the house and everything looked so strange that she was afraid. She went to Auntie`s bedroom and saw her lying on the bed with a strange face. Little Pink Riding Hood said, "Oh Auntie Bertha, what big ears you have!" “To hear you better." answered the dog-wolf. "Oh Auntie Bertha, what big eyes you have!” said the little girl. “To see you better.” answered the dog-wolf. “Oh Auntie Bertha, what big hands you have!” said Little Pink Riding Hood.
“To hug you with!" the dog-wolf answered. "Oh Auntie Bertha, what big feet you have!� "To kick you with!" And he jumped out of bed, on top of poor Little Pink Riding Hood, and kicked her until she fainted. The dog-wolf ate the three in one bite and smiled with great satisfaction. He had satisfied his hunger and had been able to revenge the kick Little Pink Riding Hood had given him in the farm. As soon as the dog-wolf had finished his task he climbed back into bed, fell asleep, and began to snore very loudly. A hunter and neighbor who was just passing by, heard the snoring and found it strange that the young woman could be doing such a terrible noise, so he decided to take a look. He stepped inside, and on the bed he saw the dog-wolf he had been chasing for such a long time. He realized that the animal had a big stomach and he immediately found out that the lady had been eaten so he took a pair of scissors and cut his belly open. Auntie Bertha, Little Pink Riding Hood and the baby were safe and the dog-wolf dead. Auntie thanked the hunter and invited him to tea. Soon Little Pink Riding Hood’s mother arrived and they told her the whole story. After this experience Little Pink Riding Hood became a good little girl and they all lived happily ever after.
