Hoe Roodkapje aan haar naam kwam

How Red-Cap got her name

Er was eens een lief klein meisje. Iedereen hield van haar, maar haar grootmoeder hield het meest van haar. Op een dag gaf grootmoeder haar een mutsje van rood fluweel, een zachte stof. Het mutsje stond haar zo goed dat ze het altijd wilde dragen. Daarom noemde iedereen haar Roodkapje.
