В одной деревне жила чудесная маленькая девочка – «такая хорошенькая, что лучше ее и на свете не было». Бабушка подарила ей красную шапочку, и с тех пор девочка носила ее, не снимая. Все так привыкли видеть ее в этом головном уборе, что стали называть девочку не иначе как Красная Шапочка. Однажды мать попросила Красную Шапочку отнести бабушке, жившей в соседней деревушке, «пирожок и горшочек масла». Дорога в деревню шла через лес, и вскоре Красной Шапочке повстречался серый Волк. Он был очень голодный и с удовольствием бы съел девочку, но «где-то близко стучали топорами дровосеки», и он не посмел напасть на нее. Волк поинтересовался у Красной Шапочки, куда она держит путь. Доверчивая девочка не знала, как опасно разговаривать с незнакомцами. Она все рассказала Волку, и тот побежал к бабушке «что было духу по самой короткой дорожке». Красная Шапочка не заподозрила ничего плохого. Она шла по самой длинной дороге, «по пути то и дело останавливалась, рвала цветы и собирала в букеты». Волк был очень голодным, «потому что три дня ничего не ел». Увидев беспомощную старушку, он тут же проглотил ее. Затем он улегся в бабушкину постель и стал дожидаться Красную Шапочку. Девочка не сразу догадалась, что перед ней Волк, а не бабушка. Она лишь подивилась большим рукам, глазам и зубам. Волк кинулся на Красную Шапочку и проглотил ее. По счастью, мимо проходили дровосеки. Они бросились к волку, распороли ему брюхо, и «оттуда вышла Красная Шапочка, а за ней и бабушка — обе целые и невредимые»
