Once upon a time there was a little girl who always wore a hood made of red velvet. It was a special gift from her grandmother.

Story-teller 1:
Little Red Riding Hood lived with her family in a tiny village. One morning her mother came to her with a big picnic basket filled with food and cakes. Mother: Little Red Riding Hood, I want you to take this basket to grandmother because she is ill. Don't stop for anything. It is not safe to play in the forest.
Little Red Riding Hood:
I promise mother.

Hood! Where are you going?

To my grandmother. She is sick.

Food and cakes to help her get well.

Where does your grandmother live?

About half a mile from here, down that path, by the three oak trees.

Thank you very much.

Scene 5
(Near granny's house)
Hunter 1:
Are you home, grandmother?
Hunter 2:
There is something strange here.
Story-teller 1:
Grandmother slowly opened the door and told the hunters everything that had happened.
Story-teller 2:
The hunter took his knife, made a slit in the wolfs stomach and out popped Little Red Riding Hood.
Granny:
Oh, my child, what a terrible fright you gave us! Thank you, dear hunters for saving our lives!
Story-teller 1:
Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood went back inside and had a nice visit together. The hunter filled wolfs stomach with some rocks and sewed him back up. When the wolf woke up, he was so heavy that he could hardly walk. He dragged himself into the woods and never bothered any little children again.
Story-teller 2:
And from that day on Little Red Riding Hood kept her promises.
