At the beginning, I want to describe how close Little Red
Cap is with her entire family. From there, I want to describe the dynamic
between Little Red Cap and her grandmother. In my version, Little Red Cap will
have lost her father at a young age. His mother is the grandma that she is
close to. Having her nearby will help Little Red Cap cope with his loss and
also make their relationship stronger.
After that, I will talk about how Little Red Cap and her
mother planned little surprises for her grandma. Each week Little Red Cap would
visit her grandmother so she would have a visitor. On this particular week, it
was Little Red Cap’s grandmother’s birthday. She will be bringing her birthday
gifts and cake to help her grandma celebrate. On her way there, she notices a
strange creature ahead of her, but thinks nothing of it. Everyone knows this
part of the story, the wolf pretends to be the grandma. In some stories, the
grandma dies. In this one, she will not. She will hide in the closet and the
wolf will not realize she is home. The wolf will be under the sheets when
Little Rep Cap gets to the house. While
Little Red Cap is walking around her grandmother’s house and talking to the
wolf, the grandma is coming up with a plan to get the wolf out of her
house. She sneakily crawls into the
kitchen and motions to her granddaughter to stay quiet. Together, they grab
various pans and hit the wolf so hard in the face that he is knocked out. Next,
they call the town’s police to help get rid of the wolf in her house. It is a
happy ending and everyone lives! It is a subtle, but necessary change to this story!
