Fairytales en characters

Little Red Riding Hood is a classic fairy tale about a young girl who sets out through the woods to visit her sick grandmother. She wears a red cloak, which earns her the nickname "Little Red Riding Hood". Along the way, she encounters a cunning wolf who tricks her into revealing her destination. The wolf arrives at the grandmother's house first, where he devours the old woman and disguises himself in her clothing. When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she is initially fooled by the wolf's disguise but eventually realizes the truth. In most versions of the story, a woodcutter or huntsman comes to her rescue, saving her and her grandmother from the wolf's belly.
