LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Little Red Riding Hood

An urban legend includes another ending to the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf". In the original, a hunter released Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother from the wolf's belly and filled it with stones, so that the wolf could not escape and died.

In this other end, Little Red Riding Hood visited the grandmother again some time later to give her something baked. Another wolf spoke to her, but this time she stopped and told her grandmother. Grandmother locked the door so the wolf could not get inside.

Soon the wolf knocked and pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood. When no one opened the door, the wolf jumped to the roof to wait for Little Red Riding Hood and eat her when she went home. But the grandmother sensed that the wolf was lurking on Little Red Riding Hood. In front of her house stood a trough and the grandmother asked Little Red Riding Hood to fill it with water, in which she had cooked sausages the day before.

When the trough was full, the wolf smelled the sausages, slipped off the roof, fell into the trough and drowned. Little Red Riding Hood happily went home without anything happening.
