<P> The story revolves around a girl called Little Red Riding Hood . In Grimms' and Perrault's versions of the tale, she is named after her magical red hooded cape / cloak that she wears . The girl walks through the woods to deliver food to her sickly grandmother (wine and cake depending on the translation). In the Grimms' version, her mother had ordered her to stay strictly on the path . </P> <P> A Big Bad Wolf wants to eat the girl and the food in the basket . He secretly stalks her behind trees, bushes, shrubs, and patches of little and tall grass . He approaches Little Red Riding Hood, and she naïvely tells him where she is going . He suggests that the girl pick some flowers, which she does . In the meantime, he goes to the grandmother's house and gains entry by pretending to be the girl . He swallows the grandmother whole (in some stories, he locks her in the closet) and waits for the girl, disguised as the grandma . </P> <P> When the girl arrives, she notices that her grandmother looks very strange . Little Red then says, "What a deep voice you have!" ("The better to greet you with", responds the wolf), "Goodness, what big eyes you have!" ("The better to see you with", responds the wolf), "And what big hands you have!" ("The better to hug / grab you with", responds the wolf), and lastly, "What a big mouth you have" ("The better to eat you with!", responds the wolf), at which point the wolf jumps out of bed and eats her up too . Then he falls asleep . In Charles Perrault's version of the story (the first version to be published), the tale ends here . However, in later versions the story continues generally as follows: </P> <P> A woodcutter in the French version, but a hunter in the Brothers Grimm and traditional German versions, comes to the rescue and with his ax cuts open the sleeping wolf . Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother emerge unharmed . They then fill the wolf's body with heavy stones . The wolf awakens and tries to flee, but the stones cause him to collapse and die . Sanitized versions of the story have the grandmother locked in the closet instead of eaten and some have Little Red Riding Hood saved by the lumberjack as the wolf advances on her rather than after she is eaten where the woodcutter kills the wolf with his ax . </P>
