Little Red Riding Hood Synopsis
Ever since a little girl received a red cap from her grandmother—which she loves to wear—everyone has called her “Little Red Riding Hood.” Little Red Riding Hood lives with her mother and her five brothers in a little cottage on the edge of the forest. Since their father passed away, Little Red Riding Hood’s brothers have been working as lumberjacks to support the family. The little girl helps her mother with the housework as best she can. When Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother falls seriously ill, her mother has to take care of her, while the girl handles the chores at home and also prepares meals for her five brothers.
