Sådan fik Rødhætte sit navn

How Red-Cap got her name

Danish

Der var engang en lille pige, som alle straks kom til at holde af. Ingen holdt så meget af hende som hendes bedstemor, der med glæde ville have givet hende alt, hvad hun ønskede sig. En dag fik pigen en lille hue af rødt fløjl af sin bedstemor. Den klædte hende så godt, at hun aldrig ville gå med andet.

English translation

Once upon a time there was a little girl whom everyone grew fond of at once. No one was as fond of her as her grandmother, who would gladly have given her anything she wished for. One day her grandmother gave her a little red velvet cap. It suited her so well that she never wanted to wear anything else.

Danish

Derfor begyndte alle at kalde hende Rødhætte.

English translation

That was why everyone started calling her Little Red Riding Hood.
