Hur Rödluvan fick sitt namn

How Red-Cap got her name

Swedish

Det var en gång en liten flicka som alla genast tyckte om när de träffade henne. Allra mest höll hennes mormor av henne. Det fanns ingenting som mormor inte skulle ha gett henne. En gång gav mormor henne en liten luva av röd sammet. Den passade henne så bra att hon aldrig ville ha något annat på huvudet.

English translation

Once upon a time, there was a little girl whom everyone liked as soon as they met her. Her grandmother loved her more than anyone else did. There was nothing her grandmother would not have given her. Once, her grandmother gave her a little hood made of red velvet. It suited her so well that she never wanted to wear anything else on her head.

Swedish

Därför började alla kalla henne Rödluvan.

English translation
