Little Red Riding Hood ...

Little Red Riding Hood A fairy tale for young and old

Once upon a time there was a little girl.

Her name... Red Riding Hood.

She lived on the edge of the forest with her parents,

In peace and harmony.

Red Riding Hood's best friends were the little bunny...

And the bear!

Red Riding Hood also had enemies...

the big bad wolf.

And the cunning fox.

At the other end of the forest lived Red Riding Hood's grandmother.

For company she had a little squirrel.

Home for them all was the deep, wide, forest.

With its meadows and thickets!

With the waters and the rocks!

And here one fine day our story began.

Many birds are in the forest. That's just right for the kids.

The woodpecker knocks with joy!

A little song sounds from the sky, that we all like to hear.

The lark greets the day.

Father's going to market. Are you done with the basket?

Yes, mother!

Thank you!

- When will you be back? - Before sunset!

What will you bring me?

Something good!

- Close the bar! - And don't let anyone in!

The hunter is gone.

Red Riding Hood is alone in the house.

The hunter thought he drove me out. But I'm back.

Now we'll get something to eat!

For God's sake! Let me go!

- I am the strongest wolf! - Yes, but I'm smarter!

Don't go over the fence.

Red Riding Hood will recognize you.

I already have a plan!

Get the heck out of here!

Go!

I give up on you. You never learn!

Two left, two right! Is that hard?

In winter, your feet will freeze for sure.

You're such a dawdler too.

My snuff is all gone.

Shall I get some more from Red Riding Hood? I can run fast.

You're sweet. Bring me a jug of milk!

I'll heat it up and drink it with honey for my cough.

I won't be long.

Tell Red Riding Hood to visit me again!

Who's there?

Be merciful, dear people!

A poor pilgrim asks for a piece of bread.

Is your father home, dear child?

He should be a compassionate man.

Father went to the village to the market.

Come in and wait here for me! I'll get you something.

Thief! Thief!

Robber! You won't get our chickens!

There!

Do you have something to eat?

Where are the chickens?

I had them, plump chickens! But Little Red Riding Hood...

What?

She hit me with a club!

She beat me half dead!

Little Red Riding Hood! I'll eat her!

Red Riding Hood's granny lives there. Eat her! She's old and weak.

She's tough as leather. She'll taste awful!

I want chickens! And Red Riding Hood!

I also want to eat chickens!

You want to be smart! But a child beats you! Lure her here!

Disguise yourself with your rags!

- As a pilgrim, she'll recognize me! - Do what you want!

Then you have to come with me!

What? So the hunter will shoot at me again!

- Then I won't go either. - I'll eat you then!

No!

Bunny!

Who's there?

Open up! I have to tell you something.

Grandmother... The Wolf...

- Hello, little rabbit! - Come on, Bunny!

Don't mention the wolf... Promise!

No! I have to say!

- But you are my friend! - Yes, but...

I have to go to grandma! Swear you won't tell.

Come on, swear! Say: "Otherwise I'll drop down dead!"

I'll drop down dead!

Mother...

Give me the key to the chest!

- Why do you need it? - Grandmother has caught a cold.

Bunny says she wants milk and snuff. I should bring it to her!

- Not a word! - Is Grandmother in bed?

- No. She has a scarf around her neck. - Then there's time until tomorrow!

Pity!

- What about your paw? - Nothing.

- Does it hurt? - No!

Grandma is waiting! She wants to drink hot honey milk.

Then she'll be well.

Alone in the forest there's always something happening.

But I've no time. I still have to bake bread, wash and cook.

- Bunny is with me! - What about the swamp?

I'm very careful!

Bunny! Don't you leave Red Riding Hood alone?

Take care.

Go directly to Grandma and come right back!

I'll take care. For sure.

- May I? - Yes.

The snuff!

Don't be afraid!

Catch!

Here's the milk.

I'll also give her the rest of the cake.

I'll take my new basket and give it to grandmother!

Yes, she'll be delighted.

Take it, Bunny!

- Tell grandma that I'll come tomorrow! - Yes.

- I'll bring some fresh bread. - Good. Come on, Bunny!

- Watch out! Don't go off the track! - Alright!

Hurry, Bunny!

Come on!

- Be home before father gets back! - Yes, mother!

Hey, lad!

Can't you let an old woman pass without splashing her?

- Do you know where Red Riding Hood lives? - Yes.

I've come from afar and want to visit her mother.

Go straight past the smooth rock and then down the hill!

Then you are there.

May God repay you, young man!

Too bad that you're not a little cleaner!

Who will deny us a wandering this way?

For berries in the hedgerow before the break of day.

Bilberry, look out! Stick your blue head out!

Blackberry, look out stick your black head out!

Raspberry, look out! Stick your red head out!

Now let's be a springing whilst a fine song we're singing!

We'll tirelessly bend down to pick the berries fine.

The basket is quite heaped full, half yours and half mine!

Bilberry, look out! Stick your blue head out!

Blackberry, look out stick your black head out!

Raspberry, look out! Stick your red head...

Good day.

Good day!

- Will you help me over the trunk? - Gladly!

I'm already old and it's hard for me.

Thank you!

Where are you going to, youngster?

To grandmother. She's sick.

Come! We're in a hurry!

I wish you luck on the way!

Bilberry, look out! Stick your blue head out!

Now let's be a springing whilst a fine song we're singing!

Come down! We're not afraid!

Pity!

Where are you going?

To grandma! We bringing her some milk!

Bear! You're stopping us! We are in a hurry!

I'll come with you.

But let's slide down the smooth rock first.

- Come! Let's get started! - Right, Bunny! Right!

Wait! Watch the basket! I'll slide down once, then we'll go.

Delicious! Sweet milk!

Leave it! The milk is for grandma!

- Just a little sip! - No!

You! That's our milk!

Wait here for me!

I'll be back soon!

Red Riding Hood is in the woods! We can eat her!

Bring her here!

- Where is she? - On the track to Grandma's. Come.

- Come. - On the track?

I won't go there! The hunter has set traps!

Is she alone?

The rabbit is with her.

- I'll eat it too! - And the bear!

The bear... is strong.

Half for me, half for you,

if I lure the bear away and bring her here!

Do you decide who I eat with?

Suit yourself!

- Then you can go hungry! - How will you lure the bear away?

Leave it to me. So, half for me and half for you?

Word of honour?

Yes.

Stop it!

What have you done? Look at your coat!

Where did you do that?

Promise to take me to grandma's and then back home!

- Yes, I'll do it! - Good.

Then I'll ask grandma to sew your coat!

- Thank you! - Leave it! I believe you!

Red Riding Hood!

- Milk! - Yes!

Delicious!

- Where did you get it? - Come on, I'll tell you on the way!

Tell me.

Not you! It's all your fault!

- Really? - It's true!

- What's that? - Do you hear it?

A child is crying! A little child!

Where should a child come from?

Listen! A little child!

No! We have to go to grandma! We can't leave the path!

You can go on alone! I'll see what it is!

Me too! Me too!

It's the Fox! Where does it hurt you?

Oh, my dears!

Don't scoff at me!

I won't last much longer.

What happened to you?

He bit me!

- And with his paws... - Who has?

The wolf!

He wanted to eat you, Red Riding Hood!

Quiet!

The wolf is a bad animal.

I... rushed at him!

I bit and scratched him!

I wish I was there! I would've crushed him like this!

Yes, too bad. You weren't there.

I am a weak animal. The wolf left me half dead.

Poor fox!

Where is the wolf now?

Oh! He lies in his cave.

It'll take a long time for his wounds to heal!

- That's good! - Can we help you?

No thank you! I don't need anything anymore.

My end is near.

I'll take you to grandma! She has medicinal herbs.

Thank you!

Because you're so good, I'll tell you: On the rocks are many mushrooms!

You'll fill your basket in no time! That'll please your grandma!

And you, dear Bear! I'll do you a favour, too.

- Because you are so friendly to me! - What? What?

Behind the rocks stands an old linden tree.

It's hollow and full of honey!

Yes! I wanted to have it myself. But now I don't need it anymore.

Aren't there any bees?

The bees have long since flown away!

And now farewell!

Forgive me...

If I've ever done anything bad!

Forgive me and farewell!

I want to crawl into the woods and pray.

Who knows if I'll survive!

Red Riding Hood. I'll quickly run to the honey.

No! You can't leave us alone!

Bear! You promised to accompany me to grandma!

I've not eaten honey for ages! I'll bring you some too!

Bear!

Wait for me! I'll be right back!

Why did you let him go?

What could I do! He always does what he wants!

Let's go mushroom picking!

No, don't trust the fox! Up there is the wolf!

Don't worry. Didn't you hear, the wolf is half dead.

- I'll go to grandma alone! - Why?

- I'm supposed to take care of you! - You do that! Only a few mushrooms!

We're friends! Leave it for my sake!

You don't have to come! I'll be right back!

Red Riding Hood is coming!

The rabbit is with her!

Where is the bear?

Lured away! He'll be angry!

Hurry. Lie in wait!

There! You can grab her right now!

And I'll grab the rabbit!

Oh! So many mushrooms!

What is it?

It doesn't smell good!

Nonsense.

Red Riding Hood!

Yes!

There!

Bunny.

Bunny!

Bunny!

Bunny!

Wake up! Bunny, wake up!

Bunny, wake up! Wake up!

My Bunny!

- The wolf has... - We defeated him!

- Yeah? - You are brave and my very best friend!

I'm going to grandma now!

- I'll come with you! - No.

You can barely walk! Stay! Rest a while! Sleep a little!

I'll pick you up on the way home. Stay, here! Stay!

I won't be long!

Honey!

Honey!

Such a shame! Such a shame!

You can't put up with it! You have to eat Red Riding Hood!

You can certainly do it, if you're not so stupid this time!

Red Riding Hood is almost as smart as me.

I wanted to help you.

I wouldn't let a friend down!

But it had already happened!

Imagine, I would have gotten it in the face too!

I couldn't help you!

All right! You are weak. You can barely get up.

You can't even howl like a wolf!

That's just fine!

Everyone will think you are a dog! A white dog!

Your voice is also very hoarse.

You must bark like a dog!

No one will recognize you!

Now you must wag your tail.

Say that you have lost your master and are looking for him.

Then Grandma will let you in and you can eat her!

With Red Riding Hood

you'll have it easy!

But you must beat Red Riding Hood to grandma's!

Run down here! Then you'll be faster!

Don't forget you're a dog! Wag your tail!

What? I am not a dog!

I am the strongest wolf!

Yeah, yeah.

But Red Riding Hood and grandmother!

Wag your tail! Come on!

No! That's not how it works! You have to wag it cheerfully!

Have you never seen a dog? Come on! Again!

That's better! Now bark!

Higher! Is that so difficult? I'll show you:

Come on! Bark!

Let's leave it! Come on! Run!

Don't forget what I told you: First eat the grandmother!

After grandmother then you eat Red Riding Hood!

A song sounds from the heavens

That everyone can hear.

The lark greets the day.

And when the sun is setting the sweetest sounds abound!

So sings the nightingale!

What are you doing here, white dog?

I've lost my master. I'm looking for him.

I can't help you now. I have to go to my grandma.

Wait until I come back!

- Are you Red Riding Hood? - Yes.

- Your grandma gave me something to eat. - How is she.

She's sick and in bed.

Flowers, she wants lots of flowers!

Good, white dog! I'll pick a bouquet for grandma!

Wait here for me!

I must search for my master!

Although he's always hiding you'll surely hear his cry!

That must be the cuckoo!

I'm going to bed.

Keep a look out: When the rabbit comes, send him to me!

Is the rabbit there?

What do you want here?

I've lost my master!

I'm searching for him!

I don't know you.

Who is your master?

Who?

Huber, the farmer? He has a spitz!

I don't understand! What do you want?

Water! Water!

Why didn't you say so?

Wait here!

I shouldn't have let Red Riding Hood go!

She's still with grandma!

- Who knows what she's doing? - She's often been alone in the forest!

The bell! At last!

- Bunny, what is it? - The wolf...

- The wolf is with grandmother! - Is he back in the woods?

Hurry, he'll eat grandmother and Red Riding Hood!

Hurry! Hurry!

Take the ropes with you!

Come with me, Bunny!

Hello, grandmother!

How are you?

I've brought you some flowers!

The pitcher of milk is...

It fell over.

But it wasn't my fault.

Well!

To cheer you up!

Grandmother...

What big ears you have?

All the better to hear you with.

Grandmother...

What big eyes you have?

All the better...

to see you with!

Grandmother, what a terribly big mouth you have.

All the better...

to eat you with!

What are you doing there?

Have you seen Red Riding Hood? Have you seen her?

The bees! It's the fox's fault!

- No, it's your fault! - Come on! We'll punish the fox later!

You wanted to protect Red Riding Hood, but you left her!

Why didn't you wait? The fox cheated me!

He also tricked Red Riding Hood!

I'll get the fox! I'll get him!

I'll help Red Riding Hood!

I'll get the fox! I'll get him!

It's high time!

High time!

In another forest no one will know me.

I'll get him!

The fox is gone!

Take my hunting knife out of the scabbard!

Cut open the wolf's belly!

Yes.

Be careful, otherwise he'll wake up!

Red Riding Hood!

Red Riding Hood!

Mother!

There you are finally! Help me out of here!

Thank you!

He tricked me!

He looked just like a white dog! The robber!

Take the ropes! Tie the wolf's legs together!

I'll do it!

Come, Red Riding Hood! We'll wait outside!

Once you've tied him will you sew up his belly again?

Yes. I'll do it!

Bunny didn't want to! Then the fox came!

- The wolf has... I didn't know... - Calm down!

Mother, dear mother!

I was terrified when the wolf attacked me.

Now we've caught him!

- Don't you ever leave the path? - I won't. I promise, mother.

Bunny!

Red Riding Hood!

My dear, brave little Bunny!

- Red Riding Hood, is the wolf trapped? - Yes!

- When I woke up... - Sit down first!

The wolf said:

Be quiet! You know my gun!

We'll take him away on a pole!

Don't move! Or I'll shoot!

Thank you, Bunny!

The forest is at peace again!

We must go home! It'll be dark soon.

We'll lock the wolf in a cage from which he cannot escape.

How late you are. Where have you been all this time?

Where is my squirrel?

You hid yourself and left me alone!

There you are! Come along! You can help!

Get ready! We'll pick up the wolf.

Where is the fox?

He is gone!

Farewell, mother!

Tomorrow I'll bring you some milk!

Alright, child.

Grandmother! I still have some snuff for you!

Just what I wanted!

See you tomorrow, Bunny!

- I'd like to come along! - Yes! Please, mother!

You stay here! You have to rest!

Farewell, mother!

See you tomorrow, Bunny!

Well...

Now we are tired and we'll all go to sleep!
