There was a little girl. She lived with her mother in a hut near the forest.

One day the mother got some red cloth. She took her needle and made a red coat for the little girl.

She put the coat on the little girl, and said, “I shall call you ‘Little Red Coat.”“So the little girl was called “Little Red Coat” by her mother.

One day Little Red Coat said, “I want to show my red coat to Grandmother.”

Grandmother lived in hut. The way to the hut was through the forest.

The girls mother said, “You will show Grandmother your red coat, and take some eggs to her. You will put on your little red coat and go through the forest to her house.”

Then the girls mother put some eggs in a basket, and gave them to the little girl, and said, “Take these eggs to Grandmother. You will go through the forest. Grandmothers house is far from here. Do not delay on your way through the forest. If you wait, the night will come. At night there is a wolf in the forest. It eats little girls and little boys.”

Little Red Coat said, “I shall not delay on my way through the forest.”

Then Little Red Coat went out. She went on her way through the forest. As she went, she saw many flowers by the way. She said, “I shall take some flowers to Grandmother.” Then she went this way and that way getting flowers for her grandmother. She moved slowly getting the flowers. Night was coming and she was far from her grandmothers house. When she saw that night was coming, she ran.

As she was running, she saw a wolf, with big red eyes, standing near a tree.

The wolf said, “Why do you run, Little Red Coat?”

“Night is coming,” said Little Red Coat, “that is why I run.”

The wolf said, “Where are you running to, Little Red Coat?”

She said, “I am running to my grandmother.”

“What are you taking to your grandmother?”said the wolf.

“I am taking some eggs,” said Little Red Coat.

“I shall show you the way,” said the wolf.

“No, no, no!” said Little Red Goat. “Do not show me the way. I know the way.”

Then the wolf ran away through the trees.

The wolf came to Grandmothers house, and said, “Are you in, Grandmother?”

“Who is that?” said Grandmother.

“I am Little Red Coat,” said the wolf, “and I have got some eggs for you.”

“Come in, Little Red Coat,” said Grandmother.

Then the wolf came in, and ate up the poor grandmother. Then it took her clothes, put them on, and got into her bed.

Little Red Coat came to the hut. She asked, “Are you in, Grandmother?”

The wolf said, “Who is that?”

She said, “I am Little Red Coat. I have got some eggs and some flowers for you.”

“Come in, Little Red Coat,” said the wolf. Little Red Coat came in.

The wolf said, “Come near and show me what is in the basket.”

“Eggs, Grandmother,” said Little Red Coat.

The wolf said, “What is that in your hand?”

“Flowers,” said Little Red Coat.

“Come near, and show me your flowers, Little Red Coat,” said the wolf.

Then Little Red Coat went near to the bed and sat down.

Then she said, “What big ears you have got, Grandmother!”

“I have got big ears to hear you with them，” said the wolf.

“What a big mouth you have got, Grandmother,” said Little Red Coat.

“I have got a big mouth to eat you with it!” said the wolf. And he jumped out of the bed and ran to catch Little Red Coat. She ran to the door, and out into the forest. The wolf ran after her. Little Red Coat ran quickly.

Then she heard a shot. There was a man waiting near a tree. He had shot the wolf. The wolf was dead. Little Red Coat saw that man was her father. Her father heard that the wolf was in the forest, and he came to help Little Red Coat.

從前，有一個小女孩兒，她和她媽媽住在森林旁的一間小房子里。

一天，媽媽買回來了一些紅布，拿出針給小女孩兒做了一件小紅襖。

她給小女孩兒穿上這件小紅襖，說：“我就叫你‘小紅襖吧?！睆拇?，她媽媽就管這小女孩兒叫“小紅襖”了。

一天，小紅襖說：“我要讓外婆看看我的紅襖?！?/p>

外婆住在一間小木屋里，去那兒要經(jīng)過一片森林。

小女孩的媽媽說：“你要讓外婆看看你的紅襖，就順便把一些雞蛋帶給她吧。你穿上小紅襖，穿過森林去外婆家?！?/p>

于是，小女孩兒的媽媽把雞蛋放在一個籃子里，交給她說：“把雞蛋帶給外婆，你要穿過那片森林。外婆家離這兒很遠，千萬別在穿過森林的路上耽擱。你若一耽擱，天就黑了。夜里森林中有一只狼出沒，它專吃小孩子。”

小紅襖說：“在穿過森林的路上，我不會耽擱的。”

小紅襖便出發(fā)了。她走在穿過森林的路上，這時，她看見路旁有很多花兒，就說道：“我要給外婆帶一些花兒?！彼呑哌厼橥馄挪苫▋骸＿@邊采采，那邊采采，她因為采花兒而耽擱了時間。夜幕降臨了，但她離外婆家還很遠。當她發(fā)現(xiàn)天已經(jīng)黑了的時候，便開始奔跑起來。

她正在跑的時候，看見了一只睜著兩只大紅眼睛的狼站在一棵樹旁。

狼問：“你為什么跑，小紅襖?”

小紅襖回答說：“因為天黑了。”

狼又問，“你去什么地方，小紅襖？”

她說：“我去外婆家?！?/p>

“你帶什么東西給外婆？” 狼問道。

小紅襖答道：“是一些雞蛋?！?/p>

狼說：“我愿為你帶路?！?/p>

“不！不！不！”小紅襖說，“不用你帶路，我知道路怎么走?！?/p>

那只狼就穿過森林跑開了。

狼來到外婆家，問道：“外婆您在家嗎？”

“是誰呀？”外婆問。

“我是小紅襖，”狼回答說，“我給你帶了些雞蛋！”

“進來吧，小紅襖?！蓖馄耪f。

狼進來把可憐的外婆吃得一干二凈。然后，它穿上外婆的衣服，躺在外婆的床上。

小紅襖來到了小屋前，她問道：“外婆，您在家嗎？”

狼說道：“是誰呀？”

她說：“我是小紅襖。我給您帶來了一些雞蛋和一些鮮花?！?/p>

“進來吧，小紅襖?！?狼說。小紅襖走進屋子。

狼說：“走近來，讓我看看籃子里有什么東西?！?/p>

“是雞蛋，外婆?！毙〖t襖答道。

狼問：“你手里拿的是什么？”

“鮮花?！毙〖t襖答道。

“過來，給我看看你的鮮花，小紅襖。” 狼說。

于是，小紅襖來到床邊坐了下來。

然后，她說：“你的耳朵真大呀，外婆！”

“我耳朵大好聽你說話呀?！崩钦f。

“外婆，你的嘴巴怎么這么大！”小紅襖說。

“我的嘴巴大好吃掉你！”說著狼便從床上跳起來去抓小紅襖。小紅襖向門口跑去，鉆進了森林。狼在后邊追，小紅襖在前邊快跑。

這時，她聽見一聲槍響，有一個人在一棵樹旁等著。他擊中了那只狼，狼死了。小紅襖一看，原來那人正是她爸爸。她爸爸聽說森林里有一只狼，就來幫助小紅襖了。
