Text:
�Guten Tag R�tk�ppchen, wo gehst du hin?�
(Good day Little Red Riding Hood, where are you going?)
�Aber, Grossmutter, was hast du f�r lange Arme?
Dass ich dich besser umarmen kann.
Aber, Grossmutter, was hast du f�r lange Ohren?
Dass ich dich besser h�ren kann.
Aber, Grossmutter, was hast du f�r grosse Augen?
Dass ich dich besser sehen kann.
Aber, Grossmutter, was hast du f�r ein entsetzliches Maul?
Dass ich dich besser fressen kann.�

(But grandmother, why do you have such long arms?
So I can hug you better.
But grandmother, why do you have such long ears?
So that I can hear you better.
But grandmother, why do you have such big eyes?
So that I can see you better.
But grandmother, why do you have such a big mouth?
So I can eat you better.)

Little Red Riding Hood is the title character from a well-known folktale which first appeared in print as �Le Petit Chaperon Rouge� in a 1697 French text on morality by Charles Perrault. Through this story, young ladies were warned to never talk to strangers, lest they end up in the clutches of a wolf.

Price Range: $1,000-$1,200
