nce upon
a time
there was

a sweet little girl
1) ______ was
loved by everyone
she knew, especially by her grandmother. Once her
grandma 2) ______ her a little riding hood made of
red velvet, 3) ______ suited her so well that she
would never wear anything else. So she was always
called Little Red Riding Hood.

One day her mother gave her some cake and a bottle
of juice and asked her to 4) ______ them to her
grandmother. “Set out before it gets late, and don’t
run off the path, or
you may 5) ______
down and break the
6) ______ and then
your grandmother
will get nothing.”

“I’ll 7) ______ care,”
promised Little Red Riding Hood. However, as Little
Red Riding Hood reached the wood, she met a
8) ______ . She didn’t know what a nasty creature
he was, and wasn’t at all afraid 9) ______ him.

"Hello, Little Red Riding Hood," he 10) ______ .
"Hello, wolf," she replied.
"Where are you 11) ______ so early in the day, my
child?"
"To my grandmother's."
"What have you 12) ______ in your basket?"

"Cake and juice. I’m
taking them to my
poor sick
grandmother to
13) ______ her
stronger."

"Where does your grandmother 14) ______ child?"
"Just beyond the wood. Her house is next to the
three large oak trees. Do you know it?"

The wolf thought to himself what a tender
young creature she was. What a nice plump
mouthful - she would be tastier to 15) ______ than
the old woman. So he walked for a short time
16) ______ Little Red Riding Hood, and then he said,
"Look how pretty the flowers are around 17) ______.
Why don’t you look round? You walk along so
seriously as 18) ______ you were going to school,
but everything else here in the wood is so happy."

Little Red Riding Hood looked up, and when she
19) ______ the sunbeams dancing through the trees,
and pretty flowers growing everywhere, she decided
to pick her grandmother some fresh 20) ______ . “It’s
so early, I’ve still got plenty of 21) ______”. And so
she ran from the path into the wood to look for
flowers. She didn’t realise she was getting deeper
and deeper 22) ______ the wood.

Meanwhile, the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's
house and 23) ______ at the door.

"Who’s there?"
"Little Red Riding Hood,"
replied the wolf.
"Lift the latch," called out
the grandmother, "I am
too weak to 24) ______
up."

The wolf lifted the latch, the 25) ______ sprang open,
and without saying a 26) ______ he went straight to
the grandmother's bed, and devoured her. Then he
put on her clothes and her cap and got into

Little Red Riding Hood was surprised to find the
cottage door 28) ______ .

When she went into
the room, she had
such a strange
feeling. She called
out but there was no
29) ______ . So she
went to the bed and
saw 30) ______

grandmother lying there with her cap pulled
31) ______ her face, looking very odd.

"Grandmother, what
big 32) ______ you
have," she said.
"All the better to see
you with, my dear. "
"But grandmother,
what big 33) ______
you have."

"All the better to hear you with, my child."
"Oh, but, grandmother, what big 34) ______ you
have."
"All the better to eat you with."

And the wolf 35) ______ out of bed and
swallowed up Little Red Riding Hood.

Feeling full, the wolf lay down again in the
bed, fell 36) ______ and began to snore very
loudly. A huntsman was passing the

house and 37) ______ the noise.

He went into the room and saw the wolf lying in bed.
“Oh, it’s you, is it?” he said. “I’ve been looking for you
for a 38) ______ time!” Then he took a pair of
scissors, and
39) ______
open the
stomach of the
sleeping wolf.
When he had
made two snips,
he saw the little
red riding hood
shining, and then he made two more snips and the
little girl sprang out. Then the old grandmother came
out alive too, barely breathing.

They quickly gathered some heavy stones and they
filled the wolf's belly. When he 40) ______ up, he
tried to run away, but couldn’t. Instead he fell down
dead.

All three were delighted. The huntsman 41) ______
the wolf's skin home with him. The grandmother
42) ______ the cake and 43) ______ the juice and

felt much better. And
Little Red Riding
Hood was relieved
everything had
44) ______ happily.
