Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. A wolf stalks the wood Grandma is in great danger An axe saves her life What is the title of this story?"



...1. The Boy Who Cried Wolf 2. Peter and the Wolf 3. Red Riding Hood 4. The Three Little Pigs Charles Perrault was the French author who published the original Mother Goose book in 1697. With it he invented a new literary genre, the fairy tale. He based his stories on old folk tales that he had collected. One of the most famous is the story of "Red Riding Hood". It tells of a girl who is seen by a wolf as she walks through the woods to take food to her sick grandmother. The wolf wants to eat her but is afraid to do it in a public place so he delays her by suggesting that she pick flowers for her grandmother. He gets to the old lady's cottage and eats her and then dresses as the grandmother and tricks Little Red Riding Hood when she arrives. The story differs in its different versions but always ends up with a woodsman, sometimes the girl's father, chopping the wolf open with and axe and rescuing grandma. The moral of the story, and all fairy tales have morals, is how unsafe one is outside of one's village and how evildoers try to deceive the innocent. It encourages caution, particularly for young girls and helpless old women. Question by Calpurnia09
