Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Red Velvet. She was a beautiful child loved by everyone, especially her grandmother. Sadly, her grandmother became ill and needed care. Red Velvet's mother prepared a basket in which she placed a special cake and a bottle of wine and said, "Take this basket and go straight to your grandmother's. She is sick and weak and this will be good for her."

Red Velvet entered the woods near her home and started to skip and hop along a path, which she had often used to get to her grandmother's house. Suddenly, she saw in front of her a friendly-looking animal which, on closer encounter she realized was a wolf. She was so happy to talk to someone that she told the wolf all about her sick grandmother – even exactly where she lived. The wolf continued on his way. Red Velvet continued on her way. What, do you think, the wolf will do? What, do you think, Red Velvet will do?
