Unit 6: Folk Tales

There was once a rich man whose wife lay sick, and when she felt her end drawing near she called to her only daughter to come near her bed, and said, "Dear child, be pious and good, and God will always take care of you, and I will look down upon you from heaven, and will be with you." And then she closed her eyes and expired. The maiden went every day to her mother's grave and wept, and was always pious and good. When the winter came the snow covered the grave with a white covering, and when the sun came in the early spring and melted it away, the man took to himself another wife.

The new wife brought two daughters home with her, and they were beautiful and fair in appearance, but at heart were, black and ugly. And then began very evil times for the poor step-daughter. "Is the stupid creature to sit in the same room with us?" said they; "those who eat food must earn it. Out upon her for a kitchen-maid!" They took away her pretty dresses, and put on her an old grey kirtle, and gave her wooden shoes to wear. "Just look now at the proud princess, how she is decked out!" cried they laughing, and then they sent her into the kitchen. There she was obliged to do heavy work from morning to night, get up early in the morning, draw water, make the fires, cook, and wash. Besides that, the sisters did their utmost to torment her, mocking her, and strewing peas and lentils among the ashes, and setting her to pick them up. In the evenings, when she was quite tired out with her hard day's work, she had no bed to lie on, but was obliged to rest on the hearth among the cinders. And as she always looked dusty and dirty, they named her Cinderella.

It happened one day that the father went to the fair, and he asked his two step-daughters what he should bring back for them. "Fine clothes!" said one. "Pearls and jewels!" said the other. "But what will you have, Cinderella?" said he. "The first twig, father, that strikes against your hat on the way home; that is what I should like you to bring me." So he bought for the two step-daughters fine clothes, pearls, and jewels, and on his way back, as he rode through a green lane, a hazel-twig struck against his hat; and he broke it off and carried it home with him. And when he reached home he gave to the step-daughters what they had wished for, and to Cinderella he gave the hazel-twig. She thanked him, and went to her mother's grave, and planted this twig there, weeping so bitterly that the tears fell upon it and watered it, and it flourished and became a fine tree. Cinderella went to see it three times a day, and wept and prayed, and each time a white bird rose up from the tree, and if she uttered any wish the bird brought her whatever she had wished for.

Now if came to pass that the king ordained a festival that should last for three days, and to which all the beautiful young women of that country were bidden, so that the king's son might choose a bride from among them. When the two stepdaughters heard that they too were bidden to appear, they felt very pleased, and they called Cinderella, and said, "Comb our hair, brush our shoes, and make our buckles fast, we are going to the wedding feast at the king's castle." Cinderella, when she heard this, could not help crying, for she too would have liked to go to the dance, and she begged her step-mother to allow her. "What, you Cinderella!" said she, "in all your dust and dirt, you want to go to the festival! you that have no dress and no shoes! you want to dance!" But as she persisted in asking, at last the step-mother said, "I have strewed a dish-full of lentils in the ashes, and if you can pick them all up again in two hours you may go with us." Then the maiden went to the backdoor that led into the garden, and called out, "O gentle doves, O turtle-doves, And all the birds that be, The lentils that in ashes lie Come and pick up for me!

The good must be put in the dish,
The bad you may eat if you wish."

Then there came to the kitchen-window two white doves, and after them some turtle-doves, and at last a crowd of all the birds under heaven, chirping and fluttering, and they alighted among the ashes; and the doves nodded with their heads, and began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and then all the others began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and put all the good grains into the dish. Before an hour was over all was done, and they flew away. Then the maiden brought the dish to her step-mother, feeling joyful, and thinking that now she should go to the feast; but the step-mother said, "No, Cinderella, you have no proper clothes, and you do not know how to dance, and you would be laughed at!" And when Cinderella cried for disappointment, she added, "If you can pick two dishes full of lentils out of the ashes, nice and clean, you shall go with us," thinking to herself, "for that is not possible." When she had strewed two dishes full of lentils among the ashes the maiden went through the backdoor into the garden, and cried, "O gentle doves, O turtle-doves, And all the birds that be, The lentils that in ashes lie Come and pick up for me!

The good must be put in the dish,
The bad you may eat if you wish."

So there came to the kitchen-window two white doves, and then some turtle-doves, and at last a crowd of all the other birds under heaven, chirping and fluttering, and they alighted among the ashes, and the doves nodded with their heads and began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and then all the others began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and put all the good grains into the dish. And before half-an-hour was over it was all done, and they flew away. Then the maiden took the dishes to the stepmother, feeling joyful, and thinking that now she should go with them to the feast; but she said "All this is of no good to you; you cannot come with us, for you have no proper clothes, and cannot dance; you would put us to shame." Then she turned her back on poor Cinderella, and made haste to set out with her two proud daughters.

And as there was no one left in the house, Cinderella went to her mother's grave, under the hazel bush, and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird threw down a dress of gold and silver, and a pair of slippers embroidered with silk and silver. , And in all haste she put on the dress and went to the festival. But her step-mother and sisters did not know her, and thought she must be a foreign princess, she looked so beautiful in her golden dress. Of Cinderella they never thought at all, and supposed that she was sitting at home, arid picking the lentils out of the ashes. The King's son came to meet her, and took her by the hand and danced with her, and he refused to stand up with any one else, so that he might not be obliged to let go her hand; and when any one came to claim it he answered, "She is my partner."

And when the evening came she wanted to go home, but the prince said he would go with her to take care of her, for he wanted to see where the beautiful maiden lived. But she escaped him, and jumped up into the pigeon-house. Then the prince waited until the father came, and told him the strange maiden had jumped into the pigeon-house. The father thought to himself, "It cannot surely be Cinderella," and called for axes and hatchets, and had the pigeon-house cut down, but there was no one in it. And when they entered the house there sat Cinderella in her dirty clothes among the cinders, and a little oil-lamp burnt dimly in the chimney; for Cinderella had been very quick, and had jumped out of the pigeon-house again, and had run to the hazel bush; and there she had taken off her beautiful dress and had laid it on the grave, and the bird had carried it away again, and then she had put on her little gray kirtle again, and had sat down in. the kitchen among the cinders.

The next day, when the festival began anew, and the parents and step-sisters had gone to it, Cinderella went to the hazel bush and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird cast down a still more splendid dress than on the day before. And when she appeared in it among the guests every one was astonished at her beauty. The prince had been waiting until she came, and he took her hand and danced with her alone. And when any one else came to invite her he said, "She is my partner." And when the evening came she wanted to go home, and the prince followed her, for he wanted to see to what house she belonged; but she broke away from him, and ran into the garden at the back of the house. There stood a fine large tree, bearing splendid pears; she leapt as lightly as a squirrel among the branches, and the prince did not know what had become of her. So he waited until the father came, and then he told him that the strange maiden had rushed from him, and that he thought she had gone up into the pear-tree. The father thought to himself, "It cannot surely be Cinderella," and called for an axe, and felled the tree, but there was no one in it. And when they went into the kitchen there sat Cinderella among the cinders, as usual, for she had got down the other side of the tree, and had taken back her beautiful clothes to the bird on the hazel bush, and had put on her old grey kirtle again.

On the third day, when the parents and the step-children had set off, Cinderella went again to her mother's grave, and said to the tree,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird cast down a dress, the like of which had never been seen for splendour and brilliancy, and slippers that were of gold. And when she appeared in this dress at the feast nobody knew what to say for wonderment. The prince danced with her alone, and if any one else asked her he answered, "She is my partner."

And when it was evening Cinderella wanted to go home, and the prince was about to go with her, when she ran past him so quickly that he could not follow her. But he had laid a plan, and had caused all the steps to be spread with pitch, so that as she rushed down them the left shoe of the maiden remained sticking in it. The prince picked it up, and saw that it was of gold, and very small and slender. The next morning he went to the father and told him that none should be his bride save the one whose foot the golden shoe should fit. Then the two sisters were very glad, because they had pretty feet. The eldest went to her room to try on the shoe, and her mother stood by. But she could not get her great toe into it, for the shoe was too small; then her mother handed her a knife, and said, "Cut the toe off, for when you are queen you will never have to go on foot." So the girl cut her toe off, squeezed her foot into the shoe, concealed the pain, and went down to the prince. Then he took her with him on his horse as his bride, and rode off. They had to pass by the grave, and there sat the two pigeons on the hazel bush, and cried,

"There they go, there they go!
There is blood on her shoe;
The shoe is too small,
Not the right bride at all!"

Then the prince looked at her shoe, and saw the blood flowing. And he turned his horse round and took the false bride home again, saying she was not the right one, and that the other sister must try on the shoe. So she went into her room to do so, and got her toes comfortably in, but her heel was too large. Then her mother handed her the knife, saying, "Cut a piece off your heel; when you are queen you will never have to go on foot." So the girl cut a piece off her heel, and thrust her foot into the shoe, concealed the pain, and went down to the prince, who took his bride before him on his horse and rode off. When they passed by the hazel bush the two pigeons sat there and cried,

"There they go, there they go!
There is blood on her shoe;
The shoe is too small,
Not the right bride at all!"

Then the prince looked at her foot, and saw how the blood was flowing from the shoe, and staining the white stocking. And he turned his horse round and brought the false bride home again. "This is not the right one," said he, "have you no other daughter?" - "No," said the man, "only my dead wife left behind her a little stunted Cinderella; it is impossible that she can be the bride." But the King's son ordered her to be sent for, but the mother said, "Oh no! she is much too dirty, I could not let her be seen." But he would have her fetched, and so Cinderella had to appear. First she washed her face and hands quite clean, and went in and curtseyed to the prince, who held out to her the golden shoe. Then she sat down on a stool, drew her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and slipped it into the golden one, which fitted it perfectly. And when she stood up, and the prince looked in her face, he knew again the beautiful maiden that had danced with him, and he cried, "This is the right bride!" The step-mother and the two sisters were thunderstruck, and grew pale with anger; but he put Cinderella before him on his horse and rode off. And as they passed the hazel bush, the two white pigeons cried,

"There they go, there they go!
No blood on her shoe;
The shoe's not too small,
The right bride is she after all."

And when they had thus cried, they came flying after and perched on Cinderella's shoulders, one on the right, the other on the left, and so remained.

And when her wedding with the prince was appointed to be held the false sisters came, hoping to curry favour, and to take part in the festivities. So as the bridal procession went to the church, the eldest walked on the right side and the younger on the left, and the pigeons picked out an eye of each of them. And as they returned the elder was on the left side and the younger on the right, and the pigeons picked out the other eye of each of them. And so they were condemned to go blind for the rest of their days because of their wickedness and falsehood.

I have read many books in my childhood – like story books, comics and so on. I would like to talk about my favourite fairy tale character – CinderellaI read this story in the book – Grimm’s Fairy Tales. This book has many fairy tales, like The Frog Prince, Snowhite, etc., but the Cinderella story always fascinated me the most. The story is about Cinderella being mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, after the untimely death of her father. She is made to work as a maid in her own home. She is helped by her Fairy Godmother to get a dress and glass shoes, so that she can attend the Royal Ball. The dress is made using magic and she has to return home before midnight. She leaves in a hurry and leaves behind one of her glass shoes. The Prince Charming finds her because of that glass shoe and they get married live happily ever after. The character of Cinderella has left a lasting impression on me. Even though she is ill treated by her stepmother and stepsisters, she is always kind to them and never complained. Her character also teaches me the importance of hard work and patience. It is because of her character that I believe that we can fight evil with a good and kind heart. And also that we should not lose hope when times are tough. I still have the book and even though its pages have turned yellow, it is still very special to me. Whenever my 4 years old niece comes home, I read her stories from this book and Cinderella is her favourite story too.

tick mk voi nhe có link dưới nhé Once upon a time there was a sweet little girl. Everyone who saw her liked her, but most of all her grandmother, who did not know what to give the child next. Once she gave her a little cap made of red velvet. Because it suited her so well, and she wanted to wear it all the time, she came to be known as Little Red Riding Hood. One day her mother said to her: "Come Little Red Riding Hood. Here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother. She is sick and weak, and they will do her well. Mind your manners and give her my greetings. Behave yourself on the way, and do not leave the path, or you might fall down and break the glass, and then there will be nothing for your sick grandmother."

Little Red Riding Hood promised to obey her mother. The grandmother lived out in the woods, a half hour from the village. When Little Red Riding Hood entered the woods a wolf came up to her. She did not know what a wicked animal he was, and was not afraid of him. "Good day to you, Little Red Riding Hood." - "Thank you, wolf." - "Where are you going so early, Little Red Riding Hood?" - "To grandmother's." - "And what are you carrying under your apron?" - "Grandmother is sick and weak, and I am taking her some cake and wine. We baked yesterday, and they should give her strength." - "Little Red Riding Hood, just where does your grandmother live?" - "Her house is a good quarter hour from here in the woods, under the three large oak trees. There's a hedge of hazel bushes there. You must know the place," said Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf thought to himself: "Now there is a tasty bite for me. Just how are you going to catch her?" Then he said: "Listen, Little Red Riding Hood, haven't you seen the beautiful flowers that are blossoming in the woods? Why don't you go and take a look? And I don't believe you can hear how beautifully the birds are singing. You are walking along as though you were on your way to school in the village. It is very beautiful in the woods."

Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes and saw the sunlight breaking through the trees and how the ground was covered with beautiful flowers. She thought: "If a take a bouquet to grandmother, she will be very pleased. Anyway, it is still early, and I'll be home on time." And she ran off into the woods looking for flowers. Each time she picked one she thought that she could see an even more beautiful one a little way off, and she ran after it, going further and further into the woods. But the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked on the door. "Who's there?" - "Little Red Riding Hood. I'm bringing you some cake and wine. Open the door for me." - "Just press the latch," called out the grandmother. "I'm too weak to get up." The wolf pressed the latch, and the door opened. He stepped inside, went straight to the grandmother's bed, and ate her up. Then he took her clothes, put them on, and put her cap on his head. He got into her bed and pulled the curtains shut.

Little Red Riding Hood had run after flowers, and did not continue on her way to grandmother's until she had gathered all that she could carry. When she arrived, she found, to her surprise, that the door was open. She walked into the parlor, and everything looked so strange that she thought: "Oh, my God, why am I so afraid? I usually like it at grandmother's." Then she went to the bed and pulled back the curtains. Grandmother was lying there with her cap pulled down over her face and looking very strange. "Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!" - "All the better to hear you with." - "Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!" - "All the better to see you with." - "Oh, grandmother, what big hands you have!" - "All the better to grab you with!" - "Oh, grandmother, what a horribly big mouth you have!" - "All the better to eat you with!" And with that he jumped out of bed, jumped on top of poor Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her up.

As soon as the wolf had finished this tasty bite, he climbed back into bed, fell asleep, and began to snore very loudly. A huntsman was just passing by. He thought it strange that the old woman was snoring so loudly, so he decided to take a look. He stepped inside, and in the bed there lay the wolf that he had been hunting for such a long time. "He has eaten the grandmother, but perhaps she still can be saved. I won't shoot him," thought the huntsman. So he took a pair of scissors and cut open his belly. He had cut only a few strokes when he saw the red cap shining through. He cut a little more, and the girl jumped out and cried: "Oh, I was so frightened! It was so dark inside the wolf's body!" And then the grandmother came out alive as well. Then Little Red Riding Hood fetched some large heavy stones. They filled the wolf's body with them, and when he woke up and tried to run away, the stones were so heavy that he fell down dead.

The three of them were happy. The huntsman took the wolf's pelt. The grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine that Little Red Riding Hood had brought. And Little Red Riding Hood thought to herself: "As long as I live, I will never leave the path and run off into the woods by myself if mother tells me not to."


They also tell how Little Red Riding Hood was taking some baked things to her grandmother another time, when another wolf spoke to her and wanted her to leave the path. But Little Red Riding Hood took care and went straight to grandmother's. She told her that she had seen the wolf, and that he had wished her a good day, but had stared at her in a wicked manner. "If we hadn't been on a public road, he would have eaten me up," she said. "Come," said the grandmother. "Let's lock the door, so he can't get in." Soon afterward the wolf knocked on the door and called out: "Open up, grandmother. It's Little Red Riding Hood, and I'm bringing you some baked things." They remained silent, and did not open the door. The wicked one walked around the house several times, and finally jumped onto the roof. He wanted to wait until Little Red Riding Hood went home that evening, then follow her and eat her up in the darkness. But the grandmother saw what he was up to. There was a large stone trough in front of the house. "Fetch a bucket, Little Red Riding Hood," she said. "Yesterday I cooked some sausage. Carry the water that I boiled them with to the trough." Little Red Riding Hood carried water until the large, large trough was clear full. The smell of sausage arose into the wolf's nose. He sniffed and looked down, stretching his neck so long that he could no longer hold himself, and he began to slide. He slid off the roof, fell into the trough, and drowned. And Little Red Riding Hood returned home happily and safely. Ngày xưa có một cô bé thùy mị, dễ thương. Cưng cô nhất vẫn là bà nội, có cái gì bà cũng để phần cháu. Một lần bà cho cô bé một chiếc khăn quàng bằng nhung đỏ. Chiếc khăn rất hợp với cô, đi đâu cô cũng chỉ thích quàng chiếc khăn đó, vì vậy mọi người đều gọi cô là cô bé Khăn đỏ.
Một hôm, mẹ bảo cô:
- Khăn đỏ ạ, đây là miếng bánh và bình sữa. Con mang đến cho bà nhé! Bà ốm yếu, cần phải ăn uống cho khỏe người. Con đi ngay bây giờ kẻo tí nữa lại nắng. Con đi cho ngoan, đừng có lang thang trong rừng lỡ vỡ bình, không có gì mang đến biếu bà. Khi vào buồng bà, con nhớ chào bà, đừng có mắt la mày lét nhìn các xó nhà nhé!
Khăn đỏ đặt bàn tay nhỏ nhắn của mình vào lòng bàn tay mẹ và nói:
- Con sẽ làm tất cả những điều mẹ dặn.
Nhà bà nội ở trong rừng, cách làng không xa lắm, đi chừng nửa tiếng đồng hồ thì tới. Khăn đỏ vào rừng thì gặp chó sói. Em không biết sói là một con vật độc ác nên không thấy sợ.
Sói nói:
- Chào cháu Khăn đỏ!
Khăn đỏ đáp:
- Cháu xin chào bác!
- Cháu đi đâu sớm thế, cháu Khăn đỏ?
- Cháu đến nhà bà nội.
- Cháu xách gì nặng thế?
- Thưa bác, bánh và sữa ạ. Hôm qua, ở nhà mẹ cháu làm bánh, bà nội ốm cháu mang đến để bà ăn cho khỏe người.
- Bà cháu ở đâu, cháu Khăn đỏ?
- Đi vào rừng độ mười lăm phút thì tới. Dưới ba cây sồi to là nhà bà cháu, quanh nhà có nhiều bụi dẻ, chắc bác tìm thấy ngay.
Sói nghĩ bụng:
- Cái mồi non béo ngon này chắc là hơn hẳn cái mồi già kia!
Sói tự nhủ phải mưu mô làm sao xơi được cả hai. Nó lân la đi cùng với Khăn đỏ một đoạn rồi nói:
- Này cháu Khăn đỏ ạ, cháu hãy nhìn những bông hoa tươi đẹp kia kìa. Sao cháu không ngó quanh mà xem. Bác chắc là cháu chưa bao giờ lắng nghe tiếng chim hót véo von phải không? Cháu đi đâu mà cứ đăm đăm thẳng tiến như đi học ấy. Ở trong rừng vui lắm cháu ạ!
Khăn đỏ mở to mắt ra nhìn. Em thấy ánh nắng rập rờn qua cành cây đung đưa, đó đây toàn là hoa thơm cỏ lạ, em nghĩ bụng:
- Nếu mình mang một bó hoa tươi đến tặng bà chắc là bà thích lắm, trời còn sớm, mình đến bà còn kịp chán.
Thế rồi Khăn đỏ đi hái hoa. Hái được một bông em lại nghĩ có lẽ vào thêm tí nữa sẽ có bông đẹp hơn. Cứ như vậy, Khăn đỏ tiến sâu vào trong rừng lúc nào không hay. Trong khi đó, sói lẻn thẳng tới nhà bà cụ và gõ cửa.
- Ai ở ngoài đó đấy?
- Cháu là Khăn đỏ đây, bà mở cửa cho cháu với! Cháu mang bánh và sữa lại cho bà đây.
Bà nói:
- Cháu cứ đẩy then mà vào. Bà yếu quá không dậy được.
Sói đẩy then cửa, cửa mở toang. Chẳng nói chẳng rằng sói vào thẳng giường rồi nuốt chửng bà cụ. Rồi nó lấy quần áo của bà mặc vào, lấy mũ trùm đầu, lên giường nằm, lấy rèm che lại.
Khăn đỏ thơ thẩn hái hoa trong rừng. Mãi tới lúc hái nhiều quá mang không hết, em mới chợt nhớ đến bà, vội lên đường đến nhà bà.
Khăn đỏ ngạc nhiên thấy cửa mở toang, bước vào phòng thì thấy có gì khang khác, em nghĩ bụng hôm nay ở nhà bà sao lại thấy rờn rợn, chứ không thoải mái như mọi khi. Khăn đỏ nói to:
- Cháu chào bà ạ!
Chẳng có một tiếng trả lời. Em lại bên giường, kéo rèm ra, thì thấy bà nằm, mũ trùm kín mặt, trông lạ quá. Khăn đỏ ngạc nhiên hỏi:
- Bà ơi bà! Sao tai bà to thế?
- Tai bà to để nghe cháu rõ hơn.
- Bà ơi bà! Sao mắt bà to thế?
- Mắt bà to để nhìn thấy cháu rõ hơn.
- Bà ơi bà! Sao tay bà to thế?
- Tay bà to để bà nắm lấy cháu dễ hơn.
- Ui trời ơi! Sao mồm bà to đáng sợ quá!
- Mồm bà to để bà nuốt cháu dễ hơn.
Vừa dứt lời, sói liền nhảy ra khỏi giường, nuốt chửng Khăn đỏ đáng thương.
Xong xuôi, sói lại nhảy lên giường nằm ngủ và ngáy o o. Một bác thợ săn đi qua nghe thấy, nghĩ bụng:
- Quái! Sao bà cụ già rồi mà còn ngáy to vậy, phải tạt vào xem bà cụ có ốm đau gì không?
Bước vào phòng, đến gần giường, bác thấy sói đang nằm. Bác nói:
- Chà, thì ra ta lại gặp mi ở đây, quân khốn khiếp. Ta đi tìm mi mãi…
Bác giơ súng lên định bắn. Nhưng bác chợt nghĩ có lẽ sói đã ăn thịt bà cụ, tuy vậy may ra vẫn còn có thể cứu được. Bác không bắn, mà lấy kéo rạch bụng con sói đang ngủ. Vừa rạch được một nhát thì thấy chiếc khăn đỏ choé, rạch thêm nữa thì có cô bé nhảy ra kêu:
- Ối chà, cháu sợ quá! Trong ấy tối đen như mực.
Bà lão cũng còn sống chui ra, tuy hơi thở đã yếu. Khăn đỏ vội đi khuân đá thật to nhét đầy bụng sói. Sói tỉnh giấc muốn nhảy lên nhưng đá nặng quá, nó ngã khuỵu xuống và lăn ra chết.
Ba người đều vui mừng. Bác thợ săn lột lấy da sói mang về nhà. Bà lão ăn bánh uống sữa do Khăn đỏ mang đến, ăn xong bà thấy người khỏe hẳn ra. Khăn đỏ nghĩ bụng:
- Từ nay trở đi đừng có rời khỏi đường chạy một mình vào rừng sâu. Mẹ đã dặn vậy thì phải nhớ.
Có người kể là một lần Khăn đỏ lại mang bánh đến cho bà thì một con chó sói khác la cà đến gần tính chuyện rủ rê để em rời khỏi đường. Nhưng Khăn đỏ đã đề phòng, cứ việc thẳng bước. Đến nơi em nói cho bà biết em gặp sói và em thấy mắt sói rất ác.
- Nếu không phải là ở đường cái thì nó đã ăn thịt cháu rồi.
Bà bảo:
- Cháu vào đây để bà đóng cửa lại kẻo nó vào.
Vừa đóng xong cửa một lát thì sói đến gõ cửa gọi:
- Bà ơi bà mở cửa cho cháu. Cháu Khăn đỏ mang bánh lại cho bà đây.
Hai bà cháu im lặng, không mở cửa. Con vật đầu xám rón rén đi quanh nhà mấy lần. Rồi nó nhảy lên mái nhà, định đợi đến chiều tối, khi nào Khăn đỏ ra về sẽ lén đi theo sau, rồi sẽ ăn thịt cô bé trong bóng đêm. Nhưng bà cụ biết rõ ý định của nó. Ở trước cửa nhà có một cái máng nước bằng đá. Bà bảo Khăn đỏ:
- Cháu đi lấy cái thùng xách nước, Khăn đỏ ạ. Hôm qua bà làm dồi. Cháu đi lấy nước nấu dồi đổ cho đầy máng.
Khăn đỏ xách nước đổ mãi mới đầy cái máng to ấy. Mùi dồi thơm bay xộc lên mũi làm sói rỏ dãi. Nó cứ nghểnh dài cổ xuống để ngửi, quá đà sói bị trượt chân rơi từ mái nhà xuống đúng vào máng nước nóng và chết.
Khăn đỏ vui vẻ đi về nhà, không sợ bị ai đụng đến mình. link đây nhé: https://www.grimmstories.com/language.php?grimm=026&l=en&r=vi

Ask where she go and she innocently answered, then, the wolf asked the girl to pick flowers, while the wolf came to her grandmother's house and pretended to be her grandmother's Little Red Riding Hood. A hunter came to slaughter the wolf, and saved her and her grandmother, and the stone was put into a wolf's stomach and killed. "
