Oct. 29th, 2022 09:32 pmAccording to the Grimm Brothers, the Wolf opened TLRRH's eyes so that she could appreciate the beautiful world around her:
BTW, neither the Perrault's, nor the Grimm's version of the tale has a parental warning about the Wolf. It appears the parents were not aware of the imminent danger awaiting the little girl on her way to grandma. They were as naive as TLRRH herself.
...he said, "Little Red Cap, just look at the beautiful flowers that are all around us. Why don't you go and take a look? And I don't believe you can hear how beautifully the birds are singing. You are walking along as though you were on your way to school. It is very beautiful in the woods."
Little Red Cap opened her eyes and when she saw the sunbeams dancing to and fro through the trees and how the ground was covered with beautiful flowers...
