The Legend of Little Red Riding Hood
Video
In the small village of Kersdic hidden deep in the forest nearly 15 centuries ago lived a little girl known more as Little Red Riding Hood.
Her cloak as red as a ripe tomato was her most prized treasure. Everyone in the village knew that Little Red Riding Hood was as brave as she was kind. One day while heading to her dear grandmother's house, she encountered the Big Bad Wolf. A cunning and treacherous creature hiding in the shade of the trees. The Big Bad Wolf with a voice as sweet as honey told Little Red Riding Hood about a secret path that would quickly lead her into her grandmother's arms. "It’s a safe shortcut," he said with a smile that did not warm his icy gaze. Filled with hope and love for her grandmother, Little Red Riding Hood decided to follow the suggested path, forgetting the words of caution that her grandmother had taught her. "That’s a false little wolf, a crazy little wolf deceiving, little wolf beautiful, that’s a false little wolf". But the truth was otherwise, and the path was nothing but a trap.
Little Red Riding Hood fell into a hidden ravine among the underbrush where a pack of hungry wolves awaited her. The forest fell silent, a silence that weighed in the air interrupted only by the sound of her cloak tearing followed by a scream that could be heard 12, almost 13 km away.
Grandmother, tired of waiting for Little Red Riding Hood for hours, finally decided to venture into the forest to find her and bring her home. Grandmother called and called for her granddaughter with a voice that mixed with the crunching of the leaves under her feet. She searched every path and trail, but there was no trace of Little Red Riding Hood.
People in the village say that the spirit of Little Red Riding Hood still wanders Kersdic searching for the way home that she will never find and will live eternally in agony, lamenting the fact that she trusted a wolf.
