Le Petit Chaperon Noir

THE LITTLE BLACK RIDING HOOD

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called « the little black riding hood » because she was very wicked and selfish. One day, her mother asked her daughter to give her grandmother who was starving a basket of food. She didn’t accept. Her mother begged her for a long moment, finally, she accepted. The angry little girl went to her grandmother’s house behind the wood. She began to eat the food in the basket. Suddenly, a poor and innocent wolf appeared. He was very tired and was starving to death. He said slowly: “I’m starving, please, can you give me something “. The evil girl didn’t want, he repeat again and begged her. The girl suggested:”The first one of us arrives to my grandmother’s house can eat the food”. The desperate wolf accepted and said:”Where is the house?” The wicked child didn’t care and didn’t answer. The wolf tried to follow her but she was going so quickly. The little girl ate all the food in the basket and arrived in front of the house. She waited for the animal for a long time. At last, he arrived:”I’m so sorry, I got lost in the forest because I didn’t know where the house was. Can I have something to eat please?” She yelled:”Die!” The poor animal was dying and begged her. She opened the door; her sick grandmother was very happy and asked her where the basket of food was. The child said:” In my stomach”. The old woman repeated the question, the little girl repeated again: “I ate it”. The grand mother asked: “So, why do you come here?” The child said she wanted to see her die. The old grandmother was shocked and fearful; the little girl said her farewells. She added: “Say good morning to the wolf» and closed the door. At that moment, the animal roared and jumped on her, and then he devoured the selfish girl. He said: “Say good morning to your grandmother” and opened the door of the old woman’s house.

*Moral* In life, don’t be wicked and selfish because the cogwheel turns.
