Litttle Red Riding Hood
учебно-методический материал по иностранному языку (4 класс)

    Once upon a time there lived a pretty country girl. Her name was Little Red Riding Hood, because she wore a nice red hood that her mum made for her.    One day mother told her 'Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is. She lives in the country behind the wood. Take this cake and a little pot of butter.'

So, Little Red Riding Hood went through the wood, and suddenly she met a Wolf.

• Where are you going, Little Red Riding Hood? - asked the Wolf.
•  I'm going to my grandmother, I must bring her a cake and a little pot of butter, - said the girl. There were some woodcutters working nearby. So, the Wolf asked her again.
• Does she live far off?
• Oh, I say, - answered the Little Red Riding Hood. ' It's next to the mill, not far from the first house of that village.'

•  Good bye, - said the Wolf. 'I'm going home.' But he ran as fast as he could to the mill and arrived at the old woman's house first.

   Grandmother wasn't asleep and she heard the noise behind the door. She looked through the window and saw the wolf. She hid herself in a big wardrobe.

   The Wolf came in, shut the door and got into the grandmother's bed expecting Little Red Riding Hood.

 Soon she knocked at the door.

• Who's there? - asked the wolf with a quiet voice.

• It's me, your grandchild Little Red Riding Hood. I've brought you a cake and a little pot of butter mum sends you.
• Pull the bobbin and the door will open.

The door opened and the girl entered the room. She saw her granny in the bed under the bedclothes.

• Granny, how are you doing? What a big mouth you have got! said the girl.

At the moment grandmother shouted ‘Here I am’ and jumped out of the big wardrobe. They both fell upon the wolf and tied him with a long rope from under the bed.

   After that they had tea with mum’s cake and butter and talked about a visit to the Zoo.

   As to the Wolf, he cried and asked them to let him go, but they didn’t care for him.

    Later the woodcutters came, took him away and locked in a cage in the London Zoo.
