Как Красная Шапочка получила своё имя

How Red-Cap got her name

Жила-была маленькая девочка, которую любили все, кто её видел. Но особенно сильно её любила бабушка: ради внучки она была готова отдать всё. Однажды бабушка подарила девочке шапочку из красного бархата. Она так шла девочке, что та больше не хотела носить никакую другую. С тех пор все стали звать её Красной Шапочкой.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl. Everyone who saw her loved her. But her grandmother loved her most of all and would have given up anything for her. One day, her grandmother gave her a little red velvet cap. It suited the girl so well that she no longer wanted to wear any other. From then on, everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood.
