Hvordan Rødhette fikk navnet sitt

How Red-Cap got her name

Norwegian

Det var en gang en liten jente som alle ble glad i så snart de så henne. Ingen var så glad i henne som bestemoren, som ville ha gitt henne hva som helst. En dag ga bestemoren henne en liten hette av rød fløyel. Den kledde jenta så godt at hun aldri ville ha noe annet på hodet.

English translation

Once upon a time there was a little girl whom everyone loved as soon as they saw her. No one loved her as much as her grandmother, who would have given her anything. One day her grandmother gave her a little hood made of red velvet. It suited the girl so well that she never wanted to wear anything else on her head.

Norwegian

Slik fikk hun navnet Rødhette.

English translation
