Reading / Leitura - Little Red Hiding Hood (Chapeuzinho Vermelho)

Hello! O reading de hoje é sobre a classic fairy tale (um conto de fadas clássico), mas com  um final um pouquinho diferente... e com uma moral, um tanto quanto, bem deixe-me ver, inusitada (pra não dizer contemporânea). Enjoy it!


 Little Red Hiding Hood (Chapeuzinho Vermelho)
One afternoon a big Wolf waited in  a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally, a little girl did come along and she was carrying a basket of food.
“Are you carrying a  basket to your grandmother? asked the wolf.
The little girl said yes, she was. So, the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the wood.
When the little girl opened the door of her grandmother´s house, she saw that there  was somebody in  the bed with a nightcap a nightgown on, when she approached the bed, she saw that it was not her grandmother, but the wolf (for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look like your grandmother). So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf.


Moral: it is not so easy to fool a little girl nowadays as it used to be.

(from James Thurber, in Fables for our time)
