Once upon a time in one of the village there lived a little girl and she was so pretty that there was no one better than her in the world. Her grandma presented her with a red hood for her birthday. Since then the girl wore her new, smart red hood. The neighbors said about her:

— Here the Red Riding hood comes!

Once her mother baked the pie and told the daughter:

— Little Red Riding Hood, just go to the Grandma and bring her that pie and a pot with butter and find out whether she is healthy.

Little Red Riding Hood went through the forest and Grey Wolf came across her:

— Where are you going to, Little Red Riding Hood?

— I am going to my Grandmother and bringing her this pie and a pot of butter.

— And how far does your grandmother live? – Wolf asks.

— Far enough, — Little Red Riding Hood answers. – Over there in that village, behind the mill, in the first house from the end.

— Well, -said Wolf, -I also would like to visit your Grandma. I will go this way and you will go that way. And we will see who will come first.

Wolf said that and ran for all one is worth along the shortest path. Little Red Riding Hood walked along the longest path. She walked without hurry, she stopped from time to time, picked up flowers and made bunches out of them.

Wolf came running to Grandmother`s house and knocked at the door:

— Who is there? – asked Grandma.

— It`s me, your granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood, — answered Wolf with a thin little voice. – I have come to see you and brought you the pie and the pot with butter.

The Grandma felt unwell at that time and was in bed. She thought that it was really Little Red Riding Hood, and cried:

— Pull the rope and- the door will be opened!

Wolf pulled the rope and the door was opened. Wolf rushed at the Grandma and swallowed her. Then he closed the door, lay in Grandma`s bed and started waiting for the Little Red Riding Hood.

Soon she came and knocked:

Little Red Riding Hood came in the house and asked:

— Grandma, why do you have such big hands?

— To embrace you tight, my dear child.

— Grandma, why do you have such big ears?

— To hear you well, my dear child!

— Grandma, why do you have such big teeth?

— And this is to eat you quickly, my dear child!

Hardly could Little Red Riding Hood sigh, as an evil Wolf rushed at her and swallowed together with her shoes and a red hood.

But fortunately woodcutters passed by the house with their axes over the shoulders at that time. They heard the noise, ran into the house and killed Wolf. Then they unripped his stomach and Little Red Riding Hood came out from it and her Grandma followed her – both safe and sound.

Little Red Riding Hood (Красная шапочка)

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day her mother, having made some cakes, said to her, "Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, for I hear she has been very ill. Take her a cake, and this little pot of butter.”

Little Red Riding Hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother, who lived in another village.

As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest. He asked her where she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, "I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother.”

"Does she live far off?” said the wolf

"Oh I say,” answered Little Red Riding Hood; "it is beyond that mill you see there, at the first house in the village.”

"Well,” said the wolf, "and I’ll go and see her too. I’ll go this way and go you that, and we shall see who will be there first.”

The wolf ran as fast as he could, taking the shortest path, and the little girl took a roundabout way, entertaining herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers. It was not long before the wolf arrived at the old woman’s house. He knocked at the door: tap, tap.

"Who’s there?”

"Your grandchild, Little Red Riding Hood,” replied the wolf, counterfeiting her voice; "who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter sent you by mother.”

The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out, "Pull the string, and the latch will go up.”

The wolf pulled the string n, and the door opened, and then he immediately fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a moment, for it been more than three days since he had eaten. He then shut the door and got into the grandmother’s bed, expecting Little Red Riding Hood, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door: tap, tap.

"Who’s there?”

Little Red Riding Hood, hearing the big voice of the wolf, was at first afraid; but believing her grandmother had a cold and was hoarse, answered, "It is your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood, who has brought you a cake and a little pot of butter mother sends you.”

The wolf cried out to her, softening his voice as much as he could, "Pull the string, and the latch will go up.”

Little Red Riding Hood pulled the string, and the door opened.

The wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come sit on the bed with me.”

Little Red Riding Hood sat on the bed. She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, "Grandmother, what big arms you have!”

"All the better to hug you with, my dear.”

"Grandmother, what big legs you have!”

"All the better to run with, my child.”

"Grandmother, what big ears you have!”

"All the better to hear with, my child.”

"Grandmother, what big eyes you have!”

"All the better to see with, my child.”

"Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!”

"All the better to eat you up with.”

And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her all up.

The woodcutters were passing by the house. They heard the noise, rushed to the house and killed the wolf. And out came Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. They were safe and sound and very happy!

Little Red Riding-Hood

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature that ever was seen. Her mother was very fond of her, and her grandmother loved her still more. This good woman made for her a little red riding-hood, which became the girl so well that everybody called her Little Red Riding-hood.

One day her mother, having made some custards, said to her:--

"Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother does, for I hear she has been very ill; carry her a custard and this little pot of butter."

Little Red Riding-hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother"s, who lived in another village.

As she was going through the wood, she met Gaffer Wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up; but he dared not, because of some fagot-makers hard by in the forest. He asked her whither she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and hear a wolf talk, said to him:--

"I am going to see my grandmother, and carry her a custard and a little pot of butter from my mamma."

"Does she live far off?" said the Wolf.

"Oh, yes," answered Little Red Riding-hood; "it is beyond that mill you see there, the first house you come to in the village."

"Well," said the Wolf, "and I"ll go and see her, too. I"ll go this way, and you go that, and we shall see who will be there first."

The Wolf began to run as fast as he could, taking the shortest way, and the little girl went by the longest way, amusing herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and making nosegays of such little flowers as she met with. The Wolf was not long before he reached the old woman"s house. He knocked at the door--tap, tap, tap.

"Who"s there?" called the grandmother.

"Your grandchild, Little Red Riding-hood," replied the Wolf, imitating her voice, "who has brought a custard and a little pot of butter sent to you by mamma."

The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out:--

The Wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door opened. He fell upon the good woman and ate her up in no time, for he had not eaten anything for more than three days. He then shut the door, went into the grandmother"s bed, and waited for Little Red Riding-hood, who came sometime afterward and knocked at the door--tap, tap, tap.

"Who"s there?" called the Wolf.

Little Red Riding-hood, hearing the big voice of the Wolf, was at first afraid; but thinking her grandmother had a cold, answered:--

""Tis your grandchild, Little Red Riding-hood, who has brought you a custard and a little pot of butter sent to you by mamma."

The Wolf cried out to her, softening his voice a little:--

"Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."

Little Red Riding-hood pulled the bobbin, and the door opened.

The Wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes:--

"Put the custard and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come and lie down with me."

Little Red Riding-hood undressed herself and went into bed, where she was much surprised to see how her grandmother looked in her night-clothes.

She said to her:--

"Grandmamma, what great arms you have got!"

"That is the better to hug thee, my dear."

"Grandmamma, what great legs you have got!"

"That is to run the better, my child."

"Grandmamma, what great ears you have got!"

"That is to hear the better, my child."

"Grandmamma, what great eyes you have got!"

"It is to see the better, my child."

"Grandmamma, what great teeth you have got!"

"That is to eat thee up."

And, saying these words, this wicked Wolf fell upon Little Red Riding-hood, and ate her all up.

Красная шапочка

Жила-была маленькая девочка. Мать любила ее без памяти, а бабушка еще больше. Ко дню рождения внучки подарила ей бабушка красную шапочку. С тех пор девочка всюду в ней ходила. Соседи так про нее и говорили:

Вот Красная Шапочка идет!

Как-то раз испекла мама пирожок и сказала дочке:

Сходи-ка, Красная Шапочка, к бабушке, снеси ей пирожок и горшочек масла да узнай, здорова ли она.

Собралась Красная Шапочка и пошла к бабушке.

Идет она лесом, а навстречу ей - серый Волк.

Куда ты идешь. Красная Шапочка? - спрашивает Волк.

Иду к бабушке и несу ей пирожок и горшочек масла.

А далеко живет твоя бабушка?

Далеко, - отвечает Красная Шапочка. - Вон в той деревне, за мельницей, в первом домике с края.

Ладно, -говорит Волк, -я тоже хочу проведать твою бабушку. Я по этой дороге пойду, а ты ступай по той. Посмотрим, кто из нас раньше придет.

Сказал это Волк и побежал, что было духу, по самой короткой дорожке.

А Красная Шапочка пошла по самой длинной дороге. Шла она не торопясь, по пути останавливалась, рвала цветы и собирала в букеты. Не успела она еще до мельницы дойти, а Волк уже прискакал к бабушкиному домику и стучится в дверь:
Тук-тук!

Кто там? - спрашивает бабушка.

Это я, внучка ваша, Красная Шапочка, -отвечает Волк, - я к вам в гости пришла, пирожок принесла и горшочек масла.

А бабушка была в то время больна и лежала в постели. Она подумала, что это и в самом деле Красная Шапочка, и крикнула:

Дерни за веревочку, дитя мое, дверь и откроется!

Волк дернул за веревочку - дверь и открылась.

Бросился Волк на бабушку и разом проглотил ее. Он был очень голоден, потому что три дня ничего не ел. Потом закрыл дверь, улегся на бабушкину постель и стал поджидать Красную Шапочку.

Скоро она пришла и постучалась:
Тук-тук!

Красная Шапочка испугалась было, но потом подумала, что бабушка охрипла от простуды, и ответила:

Это я, внучка ваша. Принесла вам пирожок и горшочек масла!

Волк откашлялся и сказал потоньше:

Дерни за веревочку, дитя мое, дверь и откроется.

Красная Шапочка дернула за веревочку-дверь и открылась. Вошла девочка в домик, а Волк спрятался под одеяло и говорит:

Положи-ка, внучка, пирожок на стол, горшочек на полку поставь, а сама приляг рядом со мной!

Красная Шапочка прилегла рядом с Волком и спрашивает:

Бабушка, почему у вас такие большие руки?

Это чтобы покрепче обнять тебя, дитя мое.

Бабушка, почему у вас такие большие уши?

Чтобы лучше слышать, дитя мое.

Бабушка, почему у вас такие большие глаза?

Чтобы лучше видеть, дитя мое.

Бабушка, почему у вас такие большие зубы?

А это чтоб скорее съесть тебя, дитя мое!

Не успела Красная Шапочка и охнуть, как Волк бросился на нее и проглотил.

Но, по счастью, в это время проходили мимо домика дровосеки с топорами на плечах. Услышали они шум, вбежали в домик и убили Волка. А потом распороли ему брюхо, и оттуда вышла Красная Шапочка, а за ней и бабушка - обе целые и невредимые.
