Red Riding Hood was the most curious little girl with a red hooded cape you could imagine. She liked to ask questions and wanted to know the answers. ”Red Riding Hood, go visit your grandma,” her mother suggested one day. ”She will know the answers to all your curious questions! Besides, she‘s ill now and will appreciate the visit.” Red Riding Hood readily agreed. Her mother put twenty plum jam cakes with almonds and a bottle of fresh lemonade in her basket, kissed her on the forehead and told her to be on her way. ”Just don‘t stop off anywhere like you usually do,” she called after her, ”so to be sure to get to grandma’s before dark!” Red Riding Hood was already running after a mysterious bluish feather. What could it belong to? FOREST BIRDS Riding Hood saw something wild and croaking flying by her. It brushed her with its wing and disappeared into the forest once again. Red Riding Hood looked around. What could it be? A blue feather fell to her feet and she now knew. Can you guess it too?
