Brave Mother

Once upon a time, there was a young and innocent
girl who lived in a distant village in a mountain named Jessie, but almost everyone
called her “Little Red Riding Hood”. “Why she got this name?” you might ask.
Well, that was because her beloved grandmother who lived in another side of the
mountain sewed her an elegant and cozy red velvet. She loved it so much, and
she wore it all the time whenever she goes. So, the neighbors and villagers
there gave her the lovely nickname according to her outfit.
One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s
grandmother broke her left leg, and she wrote her granddaughter a letter saying
that she need someone to take good care of her. So Little Red Riding Hood’s
mother asked her to go to grandmother’s house and to look after her until she
got better.
‘Of course, mother. I’ll try my best to
take care of granny!’ said Little Red Riding Hood.
‘Good. Go to your room and package some clothes
for you before leaving,’ said her mother.
Little Red Riding Hood then quickly went
upstairs and put some of her clothes into the suitcase and quickly but
carefully went downstairs. Before Little Red Riding Hood was about to leave, he
mother said to her: ‘Wait, Little Red Riding Hood, I’ve prepared some pancakes
and juice for your granny, please take those to her. She needs some nutritional
food to recover.’
‘Sure! I’ll protect those food well to
granny’s house,’ said Little Red Riding Hood.
‘One last notion, Little Red Riding Hood,
be careful when entering the woods. Don’t play around there, there might be
some creatures will do something bad on you,’ said the mother.
‘Okay, mom, I’ll be careful,’ said Little Red
Riding Hood.
Then Little Red Riding Hood was on her way.
She was curious about the flowers, birds, deer, and other natural creatures in
the woods. While she was cuddling the deer, there was a wolf showing up behind a
tree. The deer smelled the scent of the wolf and was shocked and quickly ran
away.
‘Come back, deer! Come back!’ said Little Red
Riding Hood. She didn’t know why the deer ran away. All she knew was that she
was really upset. Meanwhile, the wolf approached to her, and said ‘Why are you
doing here little girl? And why are you having a long face?’
‘I am going to bring these pancakes and
juice to my injured granny. And I’m sad because the deer leaves me,’ Said Little
Red Riding Hood.
‘Oh, I see,’ said the wolf. ‘But where is
your granny’s house? I know the forest well, maybe I can show you the path to
go there.’
‘My granny lives in another side of the
mountain,’ said Little Red Riding Hood.
‘All right. You just need to follow the
path with pretty yellow flowers and you can reach your granny’s house really
soon,’ said the wolf.
‘Thank you! Mr. Wolf!’ said Little Red Riding
Hood.
‘You are so welcome,’ said the wolf with his
crafty smile.
After saying goodbye to the wolf, Little Red
Riding Hood continued her journey.
The wolf thought of himself: ‘What a silly
but yummy human being, I must arrive at her granny’s house to catch the young
girl. Perhaps I can eat up her granny as well.’ And he headed to the
grandmother’s house as fast as he could. After a short period of time, he got
there; meanwhile, Little Red Riding Hood was collecting the pretty yellow
flowers to give her grandmother.
The wolf gently knocked on the door of Little
Red Riding Hood’s grandmother’s house, and said: ‘Granny, it’s me, Little Red Riding
Hood. I bring you some pancakes and juice for you!’
‘Just push the door and it’ll open,’ said
the grandmother. The wolf pushed the door and it opened. He quietly got near to
the grandmother lying on the bed and ate her up. He then quickly dressed up in
the grandmother’s pajamas and lay on the bed, disguising himself as the grandmother
to try to catch Little Red Riding Hood. While all things were settled down, Little
Red Riding Hood knocked on the door, and said:’ Granny, it’s me, Little Red Riding
Hood. I bring you some pancakes and juice for you! I’m here to take care of
you.’
‘Just push the door and it’ll open,’ said
the wolf. Little Red Riding Hood pushed the door and it opened. She gently got
near to her grandmother’s bed and found something strange.
‘Oh, granny,’ she said, ‘what big ears you
have!’
‘To better hear you with, my dear,’ replied
the wolf.
‘But granny, what big eyes you have!’ she
said.
‘To better see you, my dear.’
‘But granny, what large hands you have!’
‘To better hug you, my dear.’
‘But granny, what a bloody big mouth you
have!’
‘To better eat you up!’
As the wolf said this in a scary sound, he
jumped out of the bed and ate her up. When the wolf had appeased his appetite,
he lay down again in the bed and fell asleep. And he even occupied the house
which was originally belonged to Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, and
brought his family, including the mother wolf and a baby wolf, to live there
afterwards.
After three weeks, Little Red Riding Hood’s
mother wondered why there is no news from Little Red Riding Hood and her
grandmother. Then she decided to go to the house and see herself. When she
passed the woods, she discovered something strange, and thought in her mind: ’Why
there is no trace of the wolves?’ She started to worry about Little Red Riding Hood’s
safety, so she speeded up and finally got the grandmother’s place and what she
saw scared her.
‘Why this place looks dirty and smelled bad
like a pack of wolves living here?’ said the mother. And she assumed that Little
Red Riding Hood and her grandmother might had faced something dangerous, so she
told herself that she had to get some weapons and helpers to fight against
those wolves. On her way to find some assistance, she met a hunter man, who is
strong enough to kill the wolves.
‘Could you please help me? My daughter and
mother might be in danger,’ said the mother. F
‘Of course, I’ll help you. But what’s
wrong?’ replied the hunter man.
‘There might be a pack of wolves that has
eaten up my daughter and mother, and I think now they should occupy the house,’
said the mother.
‘I got it, I’ll get some weapons and help
you,’ replied the hunter man.
Then the mother and the hunter man got some
lances and a torch from the hunter man’s house. They soon prepared well and
headed to the house. It was late night, the wolves were sleeping. The hunter
man said: ‘It’s the best time to attack them.’
They gently pushed the door and it opened. They
first saw the baby wolf and the mother wolf. The hunter man quietly went near
the mother wolf, and stabbed her on her heart with a lance, she died immediately.
Then the hunter man looked at the baby wolf, who slept soundly, and was about
to stab him to death. Suddenly, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother said in a low
voice: ‘Stop! He’s just a baby!’
‘We must clear all the posterity even the
unborn, so that we will get the peaceful life back. If you dare not to look at
the scene, just turn over,’ replied the hunter man.
So the mother turned over and heard the
sound of the hunter man stabbing into the baby wolf. Then they found the evil
wolf was lying on the bed and snored very loud, so he didn’t discover he was
about to die. The hunter man quietly walked beside him with the peak of the
lance shined under the moonlight. He raised the lance, aimed at the wolf’s
heart, and stabbed him. The wolf cried very painfully and died. Little Red Riding
Hood’s mother was the witness, and she was totally freaked out, but she knew
there would no longer be creatures hurting the villagers.
After the wolf died, the hunter man cut his
belly and hound some pieces of Little Red Riding Hood and the grandmother’s
clothes and their bones. The mother cried like never, she was so grieved.
‘I’m sorry for this, madam. But you must be
brave,’ said the hunter man.
‘My heart is full of sorrow. My daughter
and beloved mother!’ cried the mother.
Five months passed, the mother finally
adopted the truth that her daughter and mother were gone. She decided to team
up a patrol with the other villagers to protect their village. Afterwards,
there was no danger or evil creatures attacking there.
