Which path to choose

Lit 3321 TR Boy Oh Boy was I surprised about the origin of Little Red Riding Hood. The Grandmother's Tale was quite a bit more interesting than the rather repetitive fairytale.The story I heard as a child was a moral story. It carried with it the warning: Don't talk to strangers ever. I hated the fact as a child that the wolf had outsmarted Red Riding hood by getting to Grandmother's house before her.I can honestly say that the story I heard as a child made it definite in my mind to never do the very dangerous thing (talk to strangers.) I was told countless times by all the adults in my life and this gave me an example of what can happen if you disobey that cardinal rule. My favorite part of the original is when the girl in symbolism becomes a very decisive woman. She decides she is not going to let the wolf get the best of her. She then turns the tables on him. Bye Bye Wolf man (Boy, What a Sicko he was!)
