Question 23 • English Language Arts 10

Read the passage from "Little Red Riding Hood.” In this older version of the story, she is called "Little Red- Cap." The grandmother lived out in the wood, half a league from the village, and just as Little Red-Cap entered the wood, a wolf met her. Little Red-Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him. "Good day, Little Red-Cap,” said he. "Thank you kindly, wolf.” "Whither away so early, Little Red-Cap?” "To my grandmother’s.” "What have you got in your apron?” "Cake and wine; yesterday was baking-day, so poor sick grandmother is to have something good, to make her stronger.” "Where does your grandmother live, Little Red-Cap?” "A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood; her house stands under the three large oak-trees, the nut-trees are just below; you surely must know it,” replied Little Red-Cap.
