The earliest written version was “Le Petit Chaperon Rouge” (English title: “Little Red Riding Hood”), published by French storyteller Charles Perrault in 1697 in his collection of fairy tales Contes de ma mère l’oye (Tales of Mother Goose). Perrault most likely adapted the story from an oral folktale. In Perrault’s version the main elements of the tale were first recorded: a young girl dressed in a hooded red cloak encounters a wolf on her way to visit her ailing grandmother. Against her better judgment, Little Red Riding Hood befriends the wolf, who finds out from the girl where her grandmother lives and challenges her to a race to her grandmother’s house but taking different paths. The wolf hurries ahead while Little Red Riding Hood dillydallies, stopping to gather nuts and flowers and chase after butterflies. When the wolf arrives at the grandmother’s cottage, he disguises his voice to sound like Little Red Riding Hood’s, tricking the grandmother into opening the door. He then bursts inside the house and eats the grandmother. The wolf then hides under the covers in the grandmother’s bed. When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, the wolf disguises his voice to sound like the grandmother’s and lures the girl to the bed. In perhaps the most famous part of the tale, the little girl makes a series of observations about how different her grandmother looks:
“Grandmother, what big arms you have!”
“All the better to hug you with, my dear.”
“Grandmother, what big legs you have!”
“All the better to run with, my child.”
“Grandmother, what big ears you have!”
