Little Red Coat

Once upon a time, there was little girl. Her mother was a poor woman. The little girl and her mother did not live in a big house. They live in a small but near the forest. The mother loved her daughter very much and the little girl loved her mother. They loved each other very much. They were very happy.

The little girl often play in the forest. There where green fields where she could run and play find flowers for her mother. The birds in the trees and the animals in the forest came to love the little girl. She was not afraid of the animals and the birds when she was in the forest. She knew that the animal and the birds loved her.

One day, the mother made a red coat for the girl. She gave it to the girl and said: "Put it on!" It was a fine coat and the mother said: "I shall call you Little Red Coat." Little red coat was a very pretty girl.

One day, Little Red Coat said: "I want to show my red coat to my grandmother." Then the girl's mother put some eggs to grandmother.

"You will go through the forest. Grandmother's house in a far from here. Go now and run. If you wait, the night will come. At night, there is a bad wolf in the forest. He eats little girls and boys."

Little Red Coat said: "I shall not wait on my way through the forest."

On her way through the forest, Little Red Coat saw a lot of flowers. She said: "I will take some flowers to grandmother." She gathered some blue flowers and some yellow flowers to her grandmother. Then  she ran quickly.

Night was coming and she was still far from grandmother's house. As she ran, she saw a grey wolf with big eyes standing near a tree. The wolf said: "Why do you run Little Red Coat?"

"Night is coming." Said Little Red Coat. "That is why I run."

The wolf said: "Where are you running Little Red Coat?"

She said: "I am to grandmother."

"What are you taking to your grandmother?" Said the wolf.

"I am taking eggs and a bottle of milk." Said Little Red Coat.

"I will show you the way." Said the wolf.

"No, no, no!" Said Little Red Coat. "I know the way." 

The wolf ran away through the trees. When the wolf came to grandmother's house, he knocked at the door.

"Who is that?" Grandmother called.

"I am Little Red Coat." Said the wolf. "And I have some eggs and a bottle of milk in my basket for you."

"Come in Little Red Coat." Said grandmother. Then the bad wolf went in and ate up poor grandmother. He took grandmother's clothes and put them on. After that, he got into grandmother's bed.

When Little Red Coat came to the hut and knocked the door, the wolf called: "Come in Little Red Coat." Little Red Coat went in.

She said: "Grandmother, I have got some eggs, a bottle of milk and some flowers for you. But why are you in bed?"

"I am ill, Little Red Coat." The wolf said. "Come near my bed and show me your basket." Then Little Red Coat went near the bed and sat down.

She asked: "Are you a little better grandmother?"

"No." Said the wolf. "I am worse than yesterday." Little Red Coat took pity on her grandmother and looked at her.

"I have got  big ears to near you with." Said the ugly wolf.

"What a big eyes you have got grandmother." Said Little Red Coat.

"I have a big mouth to eat you with." Said the ugly wolf. Then he jumped out of bed and wanted to catch  Little Red Coat.

Little Red Coat ran to the door, opened it quickly, shut it behind her and ran into the forest. The wolf ran after her. Then came to a big river with a lot of water in it. The wolf stopped. He was thirsty and wanted to drink. But he fell into the water and was drowned. Little Red Coat went home quickly. Little Red Coat and her mother were very glad that the bad wolf was dead.
