WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:14.055 Welcome to Once Upon a Time Show. It's time for a bedtime story. Hello, little one. Snuggle down under your blanket, nice and warm. 2 00:00:14.355 --> 00:00:26.159 Tonight's story is a very old one. Two brothers, the Brothers Grimm, told it a long, long time ago. It's about a little girl, a red cap, and a not so clever wolf. 3 00:00:26.459 --> 00:00:34.386 Some people call her Little Red Riding Hood. In this story, she's called Little Red Cap. Are you cosy? Then let's begin. 4 00:00:34.686 --> 00:00:42.585 Once upon a time, there was a sweet little girl. Everyone who saw her loved her. But her grandmother loved her most of all. 5 00:00:42.885 --> 00:00:53.574 One day, Grandmother gave her a little cap made of soft red velvet. It looked so pretty on her that she wore it every single day. So everyone called her Little Red Cap. 6 00:00:53.874 --> 00:01:03.810 One morning, her mother said, Little Red Cap, your grandmother is sick and weak. Please take her this cake and this bottle of juice. They'll help her feel strong again. 7 00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:14.335 Walk nicely, and don't leave the path. And when you get there, remember to say good morning. I'll do everything just right, said Little Red Cap, and she gave her mother a kiss. 8 00:01:20.635 --> 00:01:27.888 Grandmother lived out in the woods, half an hour from the village, under three big oak trees. The sun was shining. 9 00:01:28.188 --> 00:01:37.382 In the woods, Little Red Cap met a wolf. She didn't know he was sneaky, so she wasn't afraid. Good day, Little Red Cap, said the wolf, sweetly. 10 00:01:37.682 --> 00:01:47.014 Where are you going so early? To Grandmother's, said Little Red Cap. She's sick, so I'm bringing her cake. She lives under the three big oak trees. 11 00:01:47.314 --> 00:01:56.390 The wolf had a sneaky plan. Look at all the pretty flowers, he said. And listen to the birds sing! Why don't you pick some flowers for your grandmother? 12 00:01:56.690 --> 00:02:05.685 Little Red Cap saw the sunbeams dancing through the trees. What a lovely idea, she thought. And off she ran, away from the path. 13 00:02:05.985 --> 00:02:15.746 Each time she picked a flower, she saw a prettier one further on. So deeper and deeper she went. But the wolf ran straight to Grandmother's house. 14 00:02:22.046 --> 00:02:33.084 Knock, knock. Who's there? called Grandmother. It's Little Red Cap, said the wolf, in a squeaky little voice. Just push the door, called Grandmother. I'm too weak to get up. 15 00:02:33.384 --> 00:02:43.783 The door swung open. But when Grandmother saw a big grey nose, she knew it was no little girl! Quick as a mouse, she hopped into her big cupboard and pulled the door shut. 16 00:02:44.083 --> 00:02:54.100 The wolf looked around. Hmm, nobody here, he said. So he put on Grandmother's nightdress, pulled her nightcap over his ears, and climbed into her bed. 17 00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:03.220 At last, Little Red Cap came with her arms full of flowers. The door was open. Good morning, she called. But nobody answered. 18 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:15.216 She went to the bed. There lay Grandmother, with her cap pulled down low, looking very odd indeed. Oh, Grandmother, what big ears you have! All the better to hear you with, my dear. 19 00:03:15.516 --> 00:03:25.277 Oh, Grandmother, what big eyes you have! All the better to see you with. Oh, Grandmother, what big hands you have! All the better to hug you with. 20 00:03:25.577 --> 00:03:37.555 Oh, Grandmother, what a very big mouth you have! And with that, the wolf jumped out of bed with a great big growl. But Little Red Cap jumped back, quick as a rabbit, and called for help. 21 00:03:43.855 --> 00:03:53.407 Just then, a hunter was walking past the house. He heard her call, and in he came. And out of the cupboard popped Grandmother, banging her walking stick on the floor. 22 00:03:53.707 --> 00:04:00.485 The wolf saw the hunter, and Grandmother, and Little Red Cap with her hands on her hips. Down went his tail. 23 00:04:00.785 --> 00:04:10.472 Away he ran, out of the door and deep into the woods. He never came back to that house again. Nobody was hurt at all, not even the silly old wolf. 24 00:04:10.772 --> 00:04:19.674 Grandmother hugged Little Red Cap tight. Then she ate the cake, drank the juice, and put the flowers in a jar. Soon she felt much stronger. 25 00:04:19.974 --> 00:04:26.577 And Little Red Cap made herself a promise. I'll never leave the path again, when Mother asks me not to. 26 00:04:31.877 --> 00:04:42.439 Another day, Little Red Cap took some treats to Grandmother again. Another wolf tried to talk to her. But this time she didn't stop. She walked straight along the path. 27 00:04:42.739 --> 00:04:52.674 Let's lock the door, said Grandmother. Soon the wolf knocked. Open up, Grandmother, it's Little Red Cap! But they stayed as quiet as mice and kept the door shut. 28 00:04:52.974 --> 00:05:00.866 So the wolf climbed up onto the roof to wait. But Grandmother had a clever idea. She had cooked some sausages the day before. 29 00:05:01.166 --> 00:05:08.930 Little Red Cap carried bucket after bucket of sausage water to the big stone tub by the house. Soon it was full to the top. 30 00:05:09.230 --> 00:05:22.439 Mmm! The smell of sausages tickled the wolf's nose. He sniffed, and stretched his neck, and stretched it some more, until, whoops! He slid right off the roof, and splash! Into the tub he went. 31 00:05:22.739 --> 00:05:32.709 Out he climbed, dripping wet and smelling of sausages, and off he ran into the woods. And Little Red Cap went home happily, and no one bothered her again. 32 00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:48.574 And now the little house under the three oak trees is quiet. Grandmother is tucked up in bed, and the flowers are sleeping in their jar. 33 00:05:48.874 --> 00:05:55.478 Little Red Cap is home in her own bed, warm and safe. Outside, the birds are fast asleep. 34 00:05:55.778 --> 00:06:04.598 Stay on the path, and sleep tight. Close your eyes now, little one. Goodnight from Once Upon a Time Show. Sweet dreams.
