Scene 1 · Intermediate
Il était une fois une petite fille que tout le monde aimait dès qu’on la voyait. Sa grand-mère, surtout, l’adorait : elle aurait tout donné pour elle. Un jour, elle lui a offert un petit bonnet de velours rouge qui lui allait à merveille.
There once was a little girl whom everyone loved as soon as they saw her. Her grandmother especially adored her; she would have given anything for her. One day, she gave her a little red velvet cap that suited her perfectly.
La fillette ne voulant plus porter autre chose sur la tête, on a pris l’habitude de l’appeler le Petit Chaperon rouge.
Since the little girl no longer wanted to wear anything else on her head, people got into the habit of calling her Little Red Riding Hood.
