The story of Little Red Riding Hood has its roots in 17th-century Europe, where it was first told as a cautionary tale to warn children about the dangers of talking to strangers. It was meant to be a scary story, not a Disney-esque fairy tale like we know it today. So, what happened to make it so kid-friendly?
Well, it's interesting to note that the original story was much darker and more violent than the version we know today. In fact, the Brothers Grimm version of the story features a much more sinister wolf and a more gruesome ending. It's like comparing apple and oranges - the two versions are worlds apart.
