Un giorno la mamma le chiese di portare un cestino di vivande alla nonna, raccomandandole di non fermarsi nel bosco, per evitare di imbattersi in un ferocissimo lupo. Cappuccetto Rosso le disobbedì e nel bosco si divertì a cantare e danzare con gli animali fino a sera. Quindi riprese il cammino verso casa della nonna. Lungo il percorso incontrò il lupo, che le chiese dove si stesse recando. La bambina gli rispose e la belva progettò di divorare non una, ma ben due prede.

"The Fairies" is a classic folk tale by Charles Perrault. Once upon a time there was a widow who had two daughters. The elder was often mistaken for her mother, so like her was she both in nature and in looks. Both of them were so disagreeable and arrogant that no one could live with them. The younger girl, who was a true likeness of her father in the gentleness and sweetness of her disposition, was also one of the most beautiful girls imaginable. The mother doted on the elder daughter naturally enough, since she resembled her so closely; and she disliked the younger one just as intensely.

La favola "Il Gatto con gli stivali" è stata tratta dalla collana "I Racconti delle Fate" di Carlo Collodi: una raccolta di fiabe che Collodi ha tradotto dal francese e che, come dice egli stesso nella prefazione, "nel voltare in italiano (...) qua e là mi feci lecite alcune leggerissime varianti, sia di vocabolo, sia di andatura di periodo, sia di modi di dire: e questo ho voluto notare qui di principio, a scanso di commenti, di atti subitanei di stupefazione e di scrupoli grammaticali o di vocabolario.
