A little girl always wore a red hood her grandmother had made for her, so everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood.One day her mother said, “Grandmother is ill. Take her this cake and be a good girl.”“Walk straight to her house through the wood,” said her mother, “and do not leave the path.”
On the way, Little Red Riding Hood met a big wolf, but she did not know that wolves were dangerous.“Where are you going?” asked the wolf, and she told him, “To my grandmother’s house at the end of the wood.”“Look at the pretty flowers,” said the wolf. “Why not pick some for her?”
So Little Red Riding Hood left the path and picked flower after flower, going deeper into the wood.The wolf ran to Grandmother’s house, opened his big mouth, and swallowed her whole.Then he put on Grandmother’s cap and climbed into her bed to wait.
When Little Red Riding Hood came in, she thought Grandmother looked very strange.“Grandmother, what big eyes you have!” “All the better to see you with.”“Grandmother, what a big mouth you have!” “All the better to eat you with!” — and the wolf swallowed her too.
The wolf lay down in the bed and soon fell fast asleep, snoring very loudly.A huntsman was passing and heard the noise. “That is not Grandmother,” he thought, and he went inside.He saw the wolf, took his knife, and carefully cut the sleeping wolf open.
Out jumped Little Red Riding Hood, and then Grandmother — both safe and well!The huntsman took the wolf far away, and Little Red Riding Hood said, “I will never leave the path again.”

한 어린 소녀는 할머니가 만들어 준 빨간 모자를 늘 쓰고 다녔고, 그래서 모두 그 아이를 빨간 모자라고 불렀어요. 어느 날 어머니가 말했어요. "할머니가 편찮으셔. 이 케이크를 갖다 드리고, 착하게 굴어야 한다." "숲을 지나 할머니 집까지 곧장 걸어가거라." 어머니가 말했어요. "그리고 길에서 벗어나면 안 된다."
가는 길에 빨간 모자는 커다란 늑대를 만났지만, 늑대가 위험하다는 것을 알지 못했어요. "어디 가니?" 늑대가 물었고, 그 아이는 "숲 끝에 있는 할머니 집에요."라고 대답했어요. "저 예쁜 꽃들을 보렴." 늑대가 말했어요. "할머니께 좀 꺾어다 드리는 게 어때?"
그래서 빨간 모자는 길에서 벗어나 꽃을 한 송이씩 꺾으며 숲속으로 점점 더 깊이 들어갔어요. 늑대는 할머니 집으로 달려가, 커다란 입을 벌려 할머니를 통째로 삼켜 버렸어요. 그러고는 할머니의 모자를 쓰고 침대에 올라가 기다렸어요.
빨간 모자가 안으로 들어왔을 때, 할머니의 모습이 아주 이상해 보인다고 생각했어요. "할머니, 눈이 왜 그렇게 커요!" "너를 더 잘 보려고 그런단다." "할머니, 입이 왜 그렇게 커요!" "너를 잡아먹으려고 그런단다!" 그러더니 늑대는 빨간 모자까지 삼켜 버렸어요.
늑대는 침대에 드러누웠고, 곧 깊이 잠들어 아주 큰 소리로 코를 골았어요. 지나가던 사냥꾼이 그 소리를 들었어요. "저건 할머니가 아니야." 하고 생각하며 안으로 들어갔어요. 사냥꾼은 늑대를 보고는, 칼을 꺼내 잠든 늑대의 배를 조심스럽게 갈랐어요.
빨간 모자가 튀어나왔고, 이어서 할머니도 나왔어요. 두 사람 다 무사했어요! 사냥꾼은 늑대를 멀리 데려갔고, 빨간 모자는 말했어요. "다시는 길에서 벗어나지 않을 거예요."
