How Red-Cap got her name
English
Once there was a little girl whom everyone loved, especially her grandmother. There was nothing her grandmother wouldn't have given her. One day she gave the child a small red velvet cap. It suited the girl so well that she refused to wear anything else on her head, and everyone began calling her “Little Red-Cap.”
