Little Red Riding Hood and the Vegetarian Wolf!

Grandma Margarita was sewing a flowered vest. "What a beautiful vest you're making, Grandma!" exclaimed Little Red Riding Hood as she entered the cottage, which looked more like a giant mushroom. It was the day of the Great Strawberry Festival in the Shining Forest. Little Red, with her basket full of freshly baked rolls, was getting ready to visit her grandma. Her mother, Mrs. Red, warned her: "Be careful, Little Red! Don't get distracted by the chatty butterflies or the juggling squirrels. And, above all, don't talk to the wolf!"

Little Red promised to behave and ventured into the forest. The sun shone through the leaves and the birds sang cheerful songs. Suddenly, "snap!" a big, fluffy wolf appeared on the path. But this wolf was different. He had a nibbled carrot in his hand and a sad look in his eyes.

"Hello, little one!" the wolf greeted her in a gentle voice. "My name is Lorenzo. Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Little Red, remembering her mother's words, hesitated for a moment. But Lorenzo seemed harmless. "I'm going to visit my Grandma Margarita. I'm bringing her rolls for the festival," replied Little Red.

"That's great!" said Lorenzo. "I was also going to the festival. But I got lost. Could you tell me how to get there?"

Little Red explained the way: "Follow the path of the yellow daisies, cross the chocolate river, and you'll reach a house that looks like a giant mushroom."

Lorenzo thanked her and, instead of following the path, ran as fast as he could! His plan was to get to Grandma Margarita's house before Little Red. But not to eat her, but to ask her for a favor!

Meanwhile, Little Red, singing a song, met three rabbits playing marbles. "Hello, Little Red! Want to play with us?" the rabbits asked.

Little Red, tempted, agreed. They played and laughed for a long time. When she realized it, the sun was beginning to hide behind the trees. "Oh no! I'll be late!" exclaimed Little Red, and she ran toward her grandma's house.

Lorenzo, panting, arrived at Grandma Margarita's house. He knocked on the door. "Who's there?" asked Grandma from inside.

Lorenzo, imitating Little Red's voice, said: "It's me, Grandma. I'm bringing rolls for the festival."

Grandma Margarita, who had trouble hearing, opened the door. Lorenzo entered and explained his problem: "Grandma Margarita, I need your help. I'm vegetarian and all the wolves laugh at me. I want to prove that I can be different! Would you help me prepare a delicious vegetarian dish for the festival?"

Grandma Margarita, moved by the story of the vegetarian wolf, agreed to help. Together, they prepared a carrot and spinach tart shaped like a crescent moon.

When Little Red arrived, she found the door open. "Grandma!" she called. Upon entering, she saw Lorenzo and her grandma cooking. At first, she was scared, but then Grandma explained everything.

Little Red, Lorenzo, and Grandma Margarita went together to the festival. The wolf, with his vegetarian tart, caused a sensation. The other wolves were surprised to see that Lorenzo was different and that his tart was delicious.

Lorenzo became friends with everyone and Little Red learned that not all wolves are bad. Grandma Margarita, happy, danced all night to the music of the forest. And so, Little Red Riding Hood, the vegetarian wolf, and Grandma Margarita lived many more adventures in the Shining Forest.
