Join Little Red Riding Hood on her adventure to her grandmother's house.

Once upon a time there was a girl called Little Red Riding Hood (Сºìñ Xi¨£o H¨®ng M¨¤o).

One day, her mother (ÂèÂè m¨¡ ma) asked her to take some cakes ( µ°¸â »å¨¤n g¨¡o) to her grandmother ( ÍâÆÅ w¨¤i p¨®) who lived on the other side of the forest ( É­ÁÖ s¨¥n l¨ªn).

In the forest, Little Red saw an enormous wolf (ÀÇ ±ô¨¢²Ô²µ).

Wolf: Hello (ÄãºÃ N¨« h¨£o), where are you going?

Little Red: My grandmother¡¯s house (·¿×Ó f¨¢ng zi).

Wolf: That's good. Today is very nice (ÌìÆøºÜºÃ Ti¨¡n q¨¬ h¨§n h¨£o).

Little Red: Goodbye (ÔÙ¼û Z¨¤i ji¨¤n).

When she arrives, Little Red can see that the wolf (ÀÇ ±ô¨¢²Ô²µ) has arrived first.

She comes up with a plan to trick the wolf.

Little Red: Grandmother, what big (´ó »å¨¤) eyes ( ÑÛ¾¦ y¨£n j¨©ng) you have!

Little Red: Grandmother, what big (´ó »å¨¤) teeth ( ÑÀ³Ý y¨¢ ch¨«) you have!

As the wolf (ÀÇ ±ô¨¢²Ô²µ) pounces, Little Red takes out a rolling pin and hits him over the head ( Í· ³Ù¨®³Ü) with it.

The wolf (ÀÇ ±ô¨¢²Ô²µ) is defeated and Little Red goes home ( »Ø¼Ò hu¨ª ji¨¡), enjoying her grandmother's cakes ( µ°¸â »å¨¤n g¨¡o) to herself.
