Read the text of the fairy tale for children Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there lived a little girl. Her mother loved her deeply, and her grandmother even more. For her granddaughter's birthday, her grandmother gave her a red riding hood. Since then, the girl wore it everywhere. The neighbors said this about her:

Here comes Little Red Riding Hood!

One day my mother baked a pie and said to her daughter:

Go, Little Red Riding Hood, to grandma, bring her a pie and a pot of butter and find out if she is healthy.

Little Red Riding Hood got ready and went to her grandmother.

She walks through the forest, and a gray wolf meets her.

Where are you going, Little Red Riding Hood? - asks the Wolf.

I go to my grandmother and bring her a pie and a pot of butter.

How far does your grandmother live?

Far away,” answers Little Red Riding Hood. - Over there in that village, behind the mill, in the first house on the edge.

Okay,” says the Wolf, “I also want to visit your grandmother.” I will go along this road, and you go along that one. Let's see which of us comes first.

The Wolf said this and ran as fast as he could along the shortest path.

And Little Red Riding Hood took the longest road. She walked slowly, stopping along the way, picking flowers and collecting them into bouquets. Before she even had time to reach the mill, the Wolf had already galloped up to her grandmother’s house and was knocking on the door: knock-knock!

Who's there? - asks the grandmother.

“It’s me, your granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood,” the Wolf answers, “I came to visit you, brought a pie and a pot of butter.”

And my grandmother was sick at that time and was lying in bed. She thought that it really was Little Red Riding Hood and shouted:

Pull the string, my child, and the door will open!

The wolf pulled the string and the door opened.

The Wolf rushed at the grandmother and swallowed her at once. He was very hungry because he had not eaten anything for three days. Then he closed the door, lay down on grandma’s bed and began to wait for Little Red Riding Hood.

Soon she came and knocked:
Knock Knock!

Little Red Riding Hood was scared, but then she thought that her grandmother was hoarse from a cold, and answered:

It's me, your granddaughter. I brought you a pie and a pot of butter!

The wolf cleared his throat and said more subtly:

Pull the string, my child, and the door will open.

Little Red Riding Hood pulled the door rope and opened. The girl entered the house, and the Wolf hid under the blanket and said:

Granddaughter, put the pie on the table, put the pot on the shelf, and lie down next to me!

Little Red Riding Hood lay down next to the Wolf and asked:

Grandma, why are your hands so big?

This is to hug you tighter, my child.

Grandma, why are your ears so big?

To hear better, my child.

Grandma, why are your eyes so big?

To see better, my child.

Grandma, why do you have such big teeth?

And this is to quickly eat you, my child!

Before Little Red Riding Hood had time to gasp, the Wolf rushed at her and swallowed her.

But, fortunately, at that time woodcutters with axes on their shoulders passed by the house. They heard a noise, ran into the house and killed the Wolf. And then they cut open his belly, and Little Red Riding Hood came out, followed by her grandmother - both safe and sound. That's

Once upon a time there was a little, sweet girl. And whoever looked at her, everyone liked her, but her grandmother loved her most of all and was ready to give her everything. So one day she gave her a red velvet cap, and because this cap suited her very well and she didn’t want to wear any other, they called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day her mother says to her:

Little Red Riding Hood, here’s a piece of cake and a bottle of wine, go take this to grandma; She is sick and weak, let her get better. Leave the house early, before it gets too hot, and make sure you walk modestly, as you should; Don’t turn aside from the road, otherwise you’ll fall and break the bottle, then grandma won’t get anything. And when you enter her room, don’t forget to say hello to her, and not just look in every corner here and there first.

“I can handle it properly,” Little Red Riding Hood answered her mother and said goodbye to her.

And my grandmother lived in the forest itself, half an hour’s walk from the village. As soon as Little Red Riding Hood entered the forest, a wolf met her. But Little Red Riding Hood did not even know what a furious beast it was, and was not at all afraid of it.

Hello, Little Red Riding Hood! - said the wolf.

Thank you, wolf, for your kind words.

Where are you going, Little Red Riding Hood, so early?

To Grandma.

What's that in your apron?

Wine and pie, we baked it yesterday, we want to do something to please grandma, she is sick and weak, let her get better.

Little Red Riding Hood, where does your grandmother live?

“Nice girl,” the wolf thought to himself, “that would be a tasty morsel for me; tastier, perhaps, than the old woman; but in order to capture both, you need to do the job more cunningly.”

And he walked next to Little Red Riding Hood and said:

Little Red Riding Hood, look at the beautiful flowers all around, why don’t you look around? Can't you hear how beautifully the birds sing? You walk as if you are in a hurry to go to school, but what a fun time it is to spend in the forest!

Little Red Riding Hood looked and saw how they were dancing everywhere, breaking through the trees, the sun's rays and everything around in beautiful flowers, and thought: “It would be nice to bring grandma a fresh bouquet of flowers - it would probably be nice for her too; It’s still early, I’ll be there on time.”

And she turned off the road straight into the forest and began to pick flowers. He will pick a flower and think: “And then it grows even more beautiful,” and he will run to it; and so she went deeper and deeper into the forest. Meanwhile, the wolf rushed straight to grandma’s house and knocked on the door.

Who's there?

It is I, Little Red Riding Hood, who brought you wine and pie, open it for me.

“Press the latch,” the grandmother shouted, “I’m very weak, I can’t get up.”

The wolf pressed the latch, the door quickly opened, and, without saying a word, he went straight to grandmother’s bed and swallowed the old woman. Then he put her dress on, a cap on her head, got into bed and closed the curtains.

And Little Red Riding Hood kept collecting flowers, and when she had already picked so many of them that she could no longer carry them, she remembered her grandmother and went to her. She was surprised that the door was wide open, and when she entered the room, everything seemed so strange to her, and she thought: “Oh, my God, how scared I am here today, but I always visited my grandmother with such eagerness!” And she clicked:

Good morning! - but there was no answer.

Then she went up to the bed, parted the curtains, and saw her grandmother lying there, her cap pulled down over her face, and she looked so strange, strange.

Oh, grandma, why do you have such big ears?

To hear you better!

Oh, grandma, what big eyes you have!

This is to see you better!

Oh, grandma, why are your hands so big?

To make it easier to grab you!

Oh, grandma, what a terribly big mouth you have!

This will make it easier to swallow you!

As soon as the wolf said this, he jumped out of bed and swallowed poor Little Red Riding Hood.

The wolf ate his fill and went back to bed, fell asleep and began to snore loudly and loudly. And at that time a hunter passed by the house and thought: “However, the old woman snores heavily, I’ll have to see, maybe she needs something to help.” And he entered her room, walked up to the bed, and lo and behold, there was a wolf lying there.

Ahh! There you are, old sinner! - he said. - I've been looking for you for a long time.

And he was about to aim the gun at him, but he thought that the wolf might have eaten the grandmother, and she could still be saved; he did not shoot, but took the scissors and began to rip open the belly of the sleeping wolf. He made several cuts, he saw that the little red riding hood was shining through, he made another cut, and a girl jumped out and screamed:

Oh, how I was scared, how dark it was in the wolf’s belly!

Then the old grandmother got out of there, still very much alive - she could barely catch her breath. And Little Red Riding Hood quickly brought large stones, and they filled the wolf’s belly with them. Then he woke up and wanted to run away, but the stones were so heavy that he immediately fell - and then the end came for him.

And all three were very, very happy. The hunter skinned the wolf and took it home. Grandma ate the pie, drank the wine that Little Red Riding Hood brought her, and began to get better and gain strength, and Little Red Riding Hood thought: “From now on, I will never in my life turn off the main road alone in the forest without my mother’s permission.”

They also say that one day, when Little Red Riding Hood was again bringing a pie to her grandmother, another wolf spoke to her and wanted to take her away from the main road. But Little Red Riding Hood was now more careful and went straight on her way, and told her grandmother that a wolf had met her on the way and said “hello” and looked at her so angrily with his eyes that if it had not happened on the road, he would have eaten her.

So that’s it,” Grandma said to Little Red Riding Hood, “let’s lock the doors so he can’t come in here.”

And then soon the wolf knocked and said:

Grandma, open the door for me, I am Little Red Riding Hood, I brought you a pie.

But they are silent, they don’t open the door. Then the gray one walked around the house several times, stealthily, then jumped onto the roof and began to wait for Little Red Riding Hood to return home in the evening: he wanted to follow her and eat her in the dark. But the grandmother guessed what the wolf was up to. And there was a large stone trough in front of their house; So the grandmother says to her granddaughter:

Little Red Riding Hood, take a bucket - I cooked sausage in it yesterday - and pour the water into the trough.

Little Red Riding Hood began to carry water until the big, big trough was filled to the top. And the wolf smelled the smell of sausage, moved his nose, looked down and finally stretched his neck so much that he could not resist and rolled off the roof and fell down, right into a large trough, in which he drowned.

And Little Red Riding Hood returned home happily, and from that time on no one offended her again.

Once upon a time there lived a girl who for some reason really did not like to take the straight and short path. She always chose the longest and most winding road. And if her mother sent her somewhere on an errand, she had to wait for a very long time. The girl could spend hours wandering through the surrounding meadows and forests, picking flowers and berries and singing songs. She also loved to talk to everyone who crossed her path, even complete strangers. And it often happened that she returned home only when it was already evening.

But the mother did not scold her daughter, who, although she never took the shortcut, was a kind, friendly and courteous girl. However, she was very worried that the girl might get lost and no one would find her. Therefore, the grandmother gave her granddaughter a red riding hood so that she could be seen even from afar. And soon everyone, even her mother and grandmother, began to call the girl Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother lived on the other side of the forest, through which a long winding path led to her house. Every week Little Red Riding Hood and her mother visited her grandmother and brought her a basket of gifts. The grandmother loved her lovely granddaughter very much and looked forward to her every time, sitting at the window, and, as soon as she saw her, joyfully waved her hand.

But one day my grandmother fell ill, and it was necessary to urgently take her a tincture of wild berries. Little Red Riding Hood's mother was very busy with housework and could not visit her grandmother herself. And she was afraid to send Little Red Riding Hood alone. Surely the girl will turn off the path, start picking flowers and forget about everything in the world. What if she doesn’t have time to get to her grandmother’s house before dark? After all, at night no one will see her little red riding hood, and she will get lost in the forest thicket.

What to do? Grandmother was very sick, and only wild berry tincture could cure her. Then mom decided to use a trick. She called Little Red Riding Hood and said:

- Listen, Little Red Riding Hood, you will go alone to your grandmother today. The girl clapped her hands with joy.

“But first I have to tell you something terrible.” Know that an evil wolf has appeared in our area.

She looked at Little Red Riding Hood to see if she was scared?

- Wolf? – Little Red Riding Hood was surprised. - Who is this?

- Silly, this is a terrible beast. He scours the dark forest and looks for little girls who don't take shortcuts.

Little Red Riding Hood was seriously frightened.

“But you can easily avoid meeting him,” said Mom, “walk along the path and don’t turn anywhere.” And most importantly, don’t stop anywhere or with anyone.

“Then I won’t go alone,” the girl whispered in fear.

“But someone has to take wild berry tincture to the sick grandmother, and I can’t tear myself away from work today.” Don't be afraid. If you do everything as I told you, you have nothing to fear from the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood obediently took the basket, where her mother had put wild berry liqueur, a jar of jam and plum pie, and sighed. The girl loved her grandmother very much, and her illness saddened her, but she did not at all want to go alone through the forest where the evil wolf was prowling.

Little Red Riding Hood quickly, trying not to look around, walked along the forest path. There were very beautiful flowers growing all around, but she didn’t even look at them. The day was wonderful. The birds fluttered from branch to branch and wondered why this little friend didn’t even notice them. But Little Red Riding Hood had no time for them. She walked and said to herself: “It’s not far, there’s just a little bit left to go.” But what is that blushing there by the path? What a ripe strawberry! Little Red Riding Hood was about to pass by, but she remembered that her mother had not said anything about strawberries. The girl stopped, bent down and picked one berry from the bush. Nothing bad happened. The wolf was nowhere to be seen. Only the birds continued to sing in the treetops and the flowers swayed in the green grass. Little Red Riding Hood had never eaten such sweet strawberries. It's a pity that only one berry grew here.

Oh, No! Stepping to the side, Little Red Riding Hood found another strawberry bush, then a second, a third.

The girl completely forgot about her fear and about the evil wolf. Collecting ripe and sweet berries, she went further and further into the forest.

“Hello, girl,” she suddenly heard behind her.

Little Red Riding Hood turned around and saw a shaggy, but looking quite good-natured creature.

- Oh, how you scared me. I thought that you were that very dire wolf.

The wolf chuckled to himself. There had never been a time when someone didn't recognize him.

- What a wolf I am! I'm just a humble forest dweller. Where are you going with this basket?

– I’m in a hurry to see my grandmother. She's sick and I have to take her medicine.

The wolf, who at first wanted to immediately eat the girl, suddenly changed his mind.

– Where does your dear grandmother live?

– Just beyond the forest, where the path ends.

As soon as she said this, the wolf disappeared behind the trees and ran as fast as he could straight to the grandmother’s house.

Little Red Riding Hood was slightly surprised that the shaggy gentleman left without saying goodbye, but she did not have time to think.

Remembering her mother’s order, she found a path and, timidly looking around, walked on.

Meanwhile, the wolf, who ran straight through the forest, ran to the grandmother’s house and knocked three times.

“It’s me, your granddaughter Little Red Riding Hood,” answered the Wolf.

- Come in, baby.

The wolf burst into the house and, before the grandmother had time to come to her senses, swallowed her in an instant. Then he put on his grandmother’s cap, lay down on her bed and pulled the blanket up to his ears. Soon Little Red Riding Hood approached the house and, suspecting nothing, knocked on the door.

- Grandma, it’s me, your Little Red Riding Hood! I brought you wild berry tincture, jam and pie.

“Of course he’s rude, because I’m sick,” the Wolf wheezed. “Come closer, my child.”

Little Red Riding Hood put the basket of gifts on the floor and timidly approached. Grandma looked very strange today.

- Oh, grandma, what big hands you have!

The wolf quickly hid his shaggy paws under the blanket.

- This is to hug you tighter, Little Red Riding Hood! Come a little closer.

- But grandma, why do you have such big ears?

– To hear you better, Little Red Riding Hood. Well, sit with me.

- Oh, grandma, why are your eyes so big?

“To see you better, Little Red Riding Hood,” the Wolf muttered impatiently.

“Oh, grandma,” Little Red Riding Hood shouted, backing away, “why do you have such big teeth?”

- To eat you quickly! - the Wolf growled, jumped out from under the feather bed, clicked his teeth and swallowed the girl along with her red cap. Then he lay back in bed and began to snore.

Fortunately, a forester was passing by. He had already noticed from a distance that something was wrong: the doors of the house were wide open, and loud snoring was coming from there. The forester took the double-barreled shotgun from his shoulder and crept up to the window. He almost screamed when he saw a wolf lounging on his grandmother’s bed with a swollen belly. Without hesitation, the forester ran into the house, grabbed a hunting knife from his belt and instantly ripped open the wolf's belly. Little Red Riding Hood jumped out from there, followed by her grandmother. Oh, how dark it was in the wolf’s belly! It’s scary to even think what would have happened if the brave and resourceful forester had not arrived on time.

Since then they lived happily. There were no longer any evil wolves in the forest, and one could walk along the path without fear of anyone. Little Red Riding Hood could now stop as much as she wanted along the road and even walk in the dark forest. However, now she no longer did this: from then on, she always took the shortest route.

Fearless Little Red Riding Hood meets a cunning wolf on her way, but the fairy tale ends well. A story where good defeats evil, suitable for children to read before bed.

Fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood read

Once upon a time there lived a little girl. She was modest and kind, obedient and hard-working. The mother could not be happier that she had such an assistant: her daughter helped her with the housework, and when all the work was done, she read something out loud to her mother.

Everyone liked this sweet girl, but her grandmother loved her the most. She once sewed a cap out of red velvet and gave it to her granddaughter for her name day.

The new hat suited the girl very well, and because from that day on she did not want to wear any other, people nicknamed her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day my mother decided to bake a pie.

She kneaded the dough, and Little Red Riding Hood picked apples from the garden. The pie came out great! His mother looked at him and said:

- Little Red Riding Hood, go and see your grandmother. I’ll put a piece of pie and a bottle of milk in your basket, and you’ll take it to her.

Little Red Riding Hood was delighted, she immediately got ready and went to her grandmother, who lived on the other side of the forest.

The mother went out onto the porch to see the girl off and began to give her farewell words:

“Daughter, don’t talk to strangers, don’t turn off the road.”

“Don’t worry,” answered Little Red Riding Hood, said goodbye to her mother and went through the forest to the house where her grandmother lived.

Little Red Riding Hood walked along the road, walked, and suddenly stopped and thought: “What beautiful flowers grow here, but I don’t even look around, how loudly the birds sing, but it’s like I don’t even hear! It’s so nice here in the forest!”

Indeed, the sun's rays were shining through the trees, beautiful flowers were fragrant in the clearings, over which butterflies fluttered.

And Little Red Riding Hood decided:

“I’ll bring grandma a bouquet of flowers along with the pie. She'll probably be pleased. It’s still early, I can always make it to her.”

And she turned off the road straight into the forest and began to pick flowers. He picks a flower and thinks:

A girl is walking through the forest, picking flowers, singing a song, and suddenly an angry wolf meets her.

But Little Red Riding Hood was not afraid of him at all.

- Hello, Little Red Riding Hood! - said the wolf. -Where are you going so early?

- To Grandma.

-What do you have in your basket?

– A bottle of milk and a pie, my mother and I baked it to please my grandmother. She is sick and weak, let her get better.

- Little Red Riding Hood, where does your grandmother live?

“Have a nice journey to you, Little Red Riding Hood,” muttered the wolf, and thought to himself: “Nice girl, that would be a tasty morsel for me; tastier, perhaps, than the old woman; but in order to capture both, you need to do the job more cunningly.”

And he rushed as fast as he could along the shortest route to his grandmother’s house.

Little Red Riding Hood is walking through the forest, in no hurry, and the gray wolf is already knocking on her grandmother’s door.

- Who's there?

“It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood, who brought you a pie and a bottle of milk, open it for me,” the wolf answered in a thin voice.

“Press the latch,” the grandmother shouted, “I’m very weak, I can’t get up.”

The wolf pressed the latch, the door opened, and, without saying a word, he went straight to grandma’s bed and swallowed the old woman.

Then the wolf put on her dress and cap, went to bed and closed the curtains.

And Little Red Riding Hood kept collecting flowers, and when she had already picked so many of them that she could no longer carry them, she remembered about her grandmother and went to her.

Little Red Riding Hood approached her grandmother's house, and the door was open. She was surprised, went inside and shouted:

- Good morning! - But there was no answer.

Then she went up to the bed, parted the curtains, and saw her grandmother lying there, her cap pulled down over her face, and she looked strange.

- Oh, grandma, why do you have such big ears? - asked Little Red Riding Hood.

- To hear you better!

- Oh, grandma, what big eyes you have!

- This is to see you better!

- Oh, grandma, why do you have such big hands?

- To make it easier to hug you.

- Oh, grandma, what a big mouth you have, though!

- This will make it easier to swallow you!

The wolf said this, jumped out of bed - and swallowed poor Little Red Riding Hood.

The wolf ate his fill and went back to bed, fell asleep and began to snore loudly and loudly.

A hunter walked past.

He heard some strange sounds coming from the house and became wary: it couldn’t be that the old woman was snoring so loudly!

He crept up to the window, looked inside - and there was a wolf lying in the bed.

- There you are, gray robber! - he said. - I've been looking for you for a long time.

The hunter wanted to shoot the wolf first, but changed his mind. What if he ate the grandmother, but she can still be saved.

The hunter then took a pair of scissors and ripped open the belly of the sleeping wolf. Little Red Riding Hood and Grandmother got out of there - both alive and unharmed.

And all three were very, very happy. The hunter skinned the wolf and took it home. Grandma ate the pie, drank the milk that Little Red Riding Hood brought her, and began to get better and gain strength.

Little Red Riding Hood understood that you should always obey your elders and never turn off the road in the forest.

Morality of Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most popular fairy tales, not only among the fairy tales of Charles Perrault, but also among the fairy tales of all authors around the world.

This fairy tale is on the list of those that are among the first to be read to a child. The simple and seemingly uncomplicated story of the girl in the red cap is actually a fairy tale with deep meaning and psychological overtones.

The fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood is a story with a moral and clear conclusions:

  • You can't do what your mother tells you not to do.
  • You can't talk to strangers
  • You can't stray from your intended path
  • You can't be too trusting

However, Little Red Riding Hood acts badly. At the first meeting with danger, with a wolf, she forgets all her mother’s instructions and begins to talk to the beast. That's why the girl was eaten at the end of the fairy tale. The sad ending turns into a kind and cheerful one with the appearance of hunters who kill the wolf and free Riding Hood and her grandmother.

You should not try to interpret this fairy tale more seriously and look for hidden subtext in it - this will be wrong. The meaning of the fairy tale is very clear and subtle.
