Hoe Roodkapje aan haar naam kwam

How Red-Cap got her name

Er was eens een lief klein meisje dat bij iedereen geliefd was. Maar niemand hield zoveel van haar als haar grootmoeder, die haar alles zou hebben gegeven. Op een dag kreeg het meisje van haar een mutsje van rood fluweel. Het stond haar zo goed dat ze voortaan niets anders meer wilde dragen. Daardoor noemde iedereen haar Roodkapje.

Once upon a time there was a sweet little girl whom everyone loved. But no one loved her as much as her grandmother, who would have given her anything. One day, her grandmother gave her a little red velvet cap. It suited her so well that from then on she didn’t want to wear anything else. That’s why everyone called her Red Riding Hood.
