One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother said to her,
"Red Riding Hood, Grandmother is sick. Will you please take her some cookies and soup that I have made? I know it will make her feel better to see you, and these may help, too."
"Oh, certainly," said Red Riding Hood, and she took the basket with the soup and cookies, and she set off for her grandmother’s house.
Now her grandmother lived just on the other side of the woods. Little Red Riding Hood went toward the path that led to her grandmother’s, when she spotted some flowers growing.
"Oh, these would be nice for grandmother," thought Red Riding Hood, and so she put down the basket, knelt down, and began picking the flowers.
