[00:00:01][music] [music] >> The Little Red Riding Hood.

[00:00:21]Long ago in a peaceful village beside [music] a magical forest, there lived a kind-hearted little girl who was loved by everyone. Her grandmother had lovingly made her a beautiful red velvet cape and she [music] wore it wherever she went.

[00:00:37]>> Good morning, Little Red Riding Hood.

[00:00:39]>> Good morning.

[00:00:40]>> Hello there, Red. Have a wonderful day.

[00:00:45]>> Because of this bright red hood, the villagers affectionately called her Little Red Riding Hood.

[00:00:51]Red adored her special cloak. Whenever someone admired it, she would smile and say, "I love my red cape. It keeps me warm and gives me the confidence to be brave."

[00:01:03]One bright morning, Red's mother filled a basket with freshly [music] baked bread, delicious berry preserves, and a jar of sweet honey.

[00:01:13]>> Your grandma is not feeling well today.

[00:01:16]Go and spend some time with her.

[00:01:19]Take this fresh bread and jam for your grandma and don't talk [music] with any stranger and be polite.

[00:01:27]Take >> I know, Mom. I will remember all the advice. I will be polite [music] and careful all the way.

[00:01:35]>> Happily, Little Red Riding Hood skipped into the forest humming a cheerful tune as birds sang from the [music] treetops and playful squirrels raced across the branches.

[00:01:46]Everything seemed peaceful, but as she ventured deeper into the woods, the trees grew taller, the shadows stretched across the path, and an unseen danger quietly waited for the perfect moment to appear.

[00:02:00]Hidden behind the trees, a hungry wolf watched her with great interest. Smiling to himself, he whispered, "What a wonderful day, and what a delightful traveler dressed in red.

[00:02:15]Where are you going?"

[00:02:16]>> I am going to meet my grandma because she is not feeling well today.

[00:02:20]>> Oh, is that so? Poor thing.

[00:02:23]>> And where does she live, little miss?

[00:02:24]>> I live just down this path near the end of the forest.

[00:02:28]>> Oh, I see. Which way is that?

[00:02:30]>> I >> Oh, really? Then why aren't you going through the flower meadows? You can get some flowers for your grandma, too.

[00:02:39]>> Red's eyes lit up. "That's a wonderful idea. She'll love fresh flowers."

[00:02:45]As Red happily wandered away from the path to collect [music] colorful blossoms, the wolf's polite smile turned into a sly grin.

[00:02:53]Without wasting another second, he raced through the forest determined to reach grandma's [music] cottage before the little girl.

[00:03:01]The wolf dashed through the forest faster than the wind, laughing quietly to himself.

[00:03:07]"Now it's [music] time to pay grandma a little visit," he muttered with a wicked smile.

[00:03:13]Within moments, >> [music] >> he reached the small cottage hidden among the trees. He knocked on the door.

[00:03:19]"Who's there?" grandma called from inside in a weak voice. [music] The wolf disguised his voice and answered sweetly, >> "It's me, grandma.

[00:03:29]Your little Red."

[00:03:32]>> Trusting the familiar voice, grandma unlocked the door.

[00:03:37]The moment it opened, the wolf rushed inside. "What a cozy little home," he said with a grin.

[00:03:44]Before grandma could react, the wolf frightened her and locked her safely inside a large wardrobe. Then he quickly put on her nightgown [music] and cap, climbed into her bed, pulled the blanket up to his chin, and patiently waited for Little Red Riding Hood to arrive.

[00:04:06]Not long afterward, Red reached the cottage [music] carrying her basket and a bouquet of freshly picked flowers.

[00:04:13]She gently knocked on the door.

[00:04:16]A deep [music] voice from inside replied, >> "Come inside, my little Red."

[00:04:23]>> She stepped inside and immediately noticed that the room was unusually quiet. The curtains were closed, [music] making the cottage dark and gloomy.

[00:04:34]Walking closer to the bed, she smiled and said, "Hello, Grandma. I've brought [music] you fresh bread, berry jam, honey, and these beautiful flowers."

[00:04:44]The figure in bed motioned her to come [music] closer.

[00:04:48]Red looked carefully at her grandmother's face.

[00:04:51]>> Grandma, why your eyes are so big?

[00:05:00]>> So I can see you, my little Red.

[00:05:08]>> Grandma, why your ears are so big?

[00:05:15]>> So I can hear you, my little Red.

[00:05:22]>> Grandma, why your teeth are so big?

[00:05:27]>> So I can eat you, my little Red pie.

[00:05:33]>> Realizing the terrifying truth, Red gasped, "You're not my grandmother!" She screamed as loudly as she could. "Help!

[00:05:42]Somebody help me!"

[00:05:45]>> [music] >> You are not my grandma.

[00:05:49]Somebody help me, please. Somebody help me.

[00:05:59]>> [crying] >> No one is coming here to save you from me, you little fresh meat.

[00:06:08]>> Help.

[00:06:09]>> Red's frightened cries echoed throughout the forest. [screaming] Not far from the cottage, a brave woodcutter was chopping firewood when he heard her desperate screams. "Someone's in trouble," >> [music] >> he exclaimed, dropping his axe and racing towards the sound.

[00:06:25]He burst through the cottage door and saw the fierce wolf lunging towards [music] Little Red Riding Hood. "Stay away from her," the woodcutter shouted.

[00:06:35]The wolf growled [music] and charged at him. A fierce struggle filled the tiny cottage as the two fought with all their strength.

[00:06:52]Wanting to help, Red quickly grabbed the jar of honey from her basket. As the wolf turned [music] towards the woodcutter, she hurled the jar straight at him.

[00:07:06]It burst open, covering the wolf's face and eyes with sticky honey.

[00:07:11]The wolf howled in pain and stumbled around blindly. Seizing the opportunity, the woodcutter gave him one powerful shove.

[00:07:20]Unable to keep his balance, the frightened wolf rushed out of the cottage and disappeared deep into the dark forest.

[00:07:31]From that day on, he was never seen near the village again.

[00:07:36]Once the danger had passed, Red looked around the cottage. "But where's grandma?" she asked anxiously.

[00:07:43]The woodcutter searched every corner until he heard a faint voice calling from inside [music] a large wardrobe.

[00:07:52]He opened the door and Grandma stepped out shaken but completely safe.

[00:08:00]"Oh my dear [screaming] Red!" Grandma cried as she wrapped her granddaughter in a warm hug.

[00:08:06]"I'm so happy you're safe." Red said holding her tight.

[00:08:10]Grandma smiled with relief. "Everything is all right now thanks to your courage and the woodcutter's quick actions."

[00:08:19]The woodcutter looked around the untidy room and chuckled. "Well, this cottage certainly needs some cleaning but at least everyone is safe."

[00:08:28]Grandma nodded gratefully.

[00:08:30]>> "We can never thank you enough for saving us."

[00:08:35]>> "I'm just glad we're all safe now."

[00:08:38]>> "We'll miss you, dear. Travel safe now."

[00:08:41]>> "I'll be back before you know it.

[00:08:43]Goodbye."

[00:08:54]>> That evening, after returning home, Little Red Riding [music] Hood told her mother everything that had happened.

[00:09:01]"I've learned an important [music] lesson." she said sincerely. "Being brave doesn't mean ignoring good advice.

[00:09:08]It also means making [music] wise choices and listening to the people who care about us."

[00:09:14]Her mother smiled [music] proudly and hugged her.

[00:09:17]From that day forward, Little Red Riding Hood was remembered not only for her bright red cloak but also for her kindness, quick [music] thinking, and courage. And she never again wandered away from the safe path knowing that wisdom [music] and caution are just as important as bravery.
