The version of Little Red Riding Hood retold the most in the Brothers Grimm story. The girl is named Little Red Riding Hood because of the red hood she wears. The girl travels through a wood to bring food to her sick grandmother.

In the woods Red Riding Hood  travels through, a wolf  lives who stops her and gets her to tell him where she is going. He wishes to eat her, but is afraid to do so in public. He waylays her and rushes to get to the grandmothers house first, he eats the grandmother and dresses as her, hiding in her bed to fool the little girl.

When the girl arrives she thinks her grandmother looks a little strange, and she comments on certain features such as “what big teeth” she has. When  the wolf  replies with “all the better to eat you with” the girl realizes something is not right and runs, but the wolf catches her and eats her too. At the time there is a hunter going past, and he cuts the wolf open, rescuing Red and her grandmother, who the wolf ate whole.
