Once upon a time there was a young girl called little Red Riding-Hood. She was so named because she always wore a long red cloak with a lovely big hood.

Little Red Riding-Hood was a wonderful and obedient child, with a great love for her family, so when one day her mother asked that she take a cake and pot of butter to her sick grandmother little Red Riding-Hood agreed without question.

She popped on her cloak and pulled up the hood, tucking her long brown hair out of the way before she picked up the basket that contained the cake and butter. Just before she left the house, little Red Riding-Hood gave her mother a kiss and a wave goodbye, and set off on the long road to grandmother's cottage.

Little Red Riding-Hood would have to travel through a vast lonely forest on her way, but she did not worry about the wolves or bears that lived there for there were always wood cutters working there and their sharp axes would take care of any wild creatures.

But what little Red Riding-Hood did not know, was that there were no wood cutters in the forest that day...
