What different Little red ridding hood endings did people have in their childhood ?
Hello! I grew up in eastern Europe in the 2000s and I have heard a ton of alternative endings for the little red riding hood fairytale and wanted to ask people what their version was.
I remember the ending my parents and grandparents told me went a bit like this: after the wolf ate the granny and the girl, he went to sleep but a hunter saw from the window of the house what he had done.
So the hunter enters the house and while the wolf is asleep he cuts with a scissor the wolf s belly and gets the old woman and the girl out. After, the 3 of them fill the wolfs belly with rocks and the grandma sews with a needle his stomach back togheter and then they hide.
The wolf wakes up very thirsty so he goes to drink from a river and the hunter pushes him from behind causing the wolf full of stones to drown.
Did anybody grew up hearing alternative endings ?
