once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl called Little Red Riding Hood whose mother sends her, with a basket of goods, to her ill grandmother the next village over. but to get to that village she had to cross the jungle.
Upon entering the woods, the girl comes across a hungry wolf who wants to eat her right there. but he doesn't because of some wood-cutters nearby. Instead, he asks her where she is heading, and she says, she is headed to her grandmother's house.
"is it far?" The wolf asks.
No, it is the first house in the next village over. the young girl answered.
The wolf tells her that he also wants to go to her grandmother's house.
and he also says: here is an idea. let us race. He tells her to take one path while he takes another and they will see who gets there first.
