In a small, sunny village, a joyful little girl loved her red hood so much that everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood. One bright morning, Mommy packed a basket of soft muffins and sweet berries for Grandma, who was feeling a little sneezy. “Stay on the path and don’t talk to strangers, my dear!” Mommy called with a wave.

Little Red Riding Hood walked into the warm, green forest, humming happy tunes. She watched butterflies and squirrels, and skipped along the safe path. Suddenly, a playful wolf with a big, waggy tail appeared.

“Hello! Where are you going with that basket?” asked the friendly wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood remembered Mommy’s words and smiled, “To Grandma’s little yellow house.”

The wolf’s tummy rumbled. “I hope she likes your treats!” he said, then dashed away through the trees.

Little Red Riding Hood picked two yellow daisies for Grandma. When she arrived, she knocked at the little door. “Come in, dear!” called a funny voice. Inside, Grandma was lying in bed, but her ears looked extra fluffy, her nose a little long, and her eyes very wide!

Little Red Riding Hood giggled. “Grandma, your ears look so fluffy, and your eyes look so big today!”

Grandma sat up and laughed, “I was hiding under my blanket! The silly wolf tried to wear my hat while I made tea!”

Just then, the wolf peeked out from behind a chair and said, “I smelled muffins and wanted to try one. I didn’t mean to be a bother!”

Little Red Riding Hood shared a muffin, and Grandma poured warm tea for everyone. They giggled, shared stories, and even invited the wolf to join their snack time.

The wolf promised to always knock before coming in and to use his best manners.

Listening carefully and sharing kindly made everyone’s day much happier!
