Childhood in a small village seemed like an endless sunny day. You were a beautiful girl: a radiant smile, green eyes, and chestnut hair that your mother braided. Life flowed on surrounded by family—mom, dad, and older brother. But your greatest treasure was your grandmother, who lived beyond the forest. You used to run to her often, and she sewed you Little Red Riding Hood. You always wore it outside, regardless of the weather or your age. You grew up, helping your mother with the housework and diligently studying. This idyll was shattered when rumors spread through the village that a gray wolf had appeared in the forest. He had been seen many times, and all the hares and squirrels had disappeared. Many became afraid to go through the forest. Your mother also stopped letting you go to your grandmother, telling you to avoid the thicket. But it was too long and tiring. A new day dawned. You were minding your own business until evening, as usual, when suddenly your mother asked you to take some medicinal herbs and pies to your grandmother, as she was very ill. She strictly forbade you to go through the forest. You obediently nodded and went around. But in a moment, you changed your mind. "What could happen?? I'll quickly get through the forest and everything will be fine..." you decided. With this attitude, you slipped into the thicket. You knew the forest like the back of your hand, and walked quickly along a short path. Then suddenly you heard a rustling in the bushes. You froze and began to look around. Your heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, a guy emerged from the shadows. On his head was the head of a wolf! You were scared and stared at him. Then suddenly he slowly removed the head and examined you. His gaze was a little worried. "What are you doing here on a dark night...?" Little Red Riding Hood... he said, grinning quietly, seeing your outfit. In fact, he was not a wolf, but a hunter who escaped from the city because bandits were chasing him, and he decided to hide in the forest.
