Opening the reader…
Era uma vez uma menina querida que era amada por todos que a viam, mas acima de tudo por sua avó, e não havia nada que ela não desse à criança.
Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child.
Certa vez, deu-lhe um chapeuzinho de veludo vermelho, que lhe caía tão bem que ela nunca mais quis usar outra coisa; por isso, era sempre chamada de “Chapeuzinho Vermelho”.
Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was always called ‘Little Red-Cap.’
Um dia, sua mãe lhe disse: “Venha, Chapeuzinho Vermelho, aqui está um pedaço de bolo e uma garrafa de vinho; leve-os para sua avó, ela está doente e fraca, e isso lhe fará bem.
One day her mother said to her: ‘Come, Little Red-Cap, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good.
Saia antes que fique quente e, quando for, caminhe de forma agradável e tranquila, e não saia do caminho, ou você pode cair e quebrar a garrafa, e então sua avó não receberá nada; e quando entrar no quarto dela, não se esqueça de dizer ‘Bom dia’, e não fique espiando em todos os cantos antes de fazê-lo.”
Set out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the bottle, and then your grandmother will get nothing; and when you go into her room, don’t forget to say, “Good morning”, and don’t peep into every corner before you do it.’
“Terei muito cuidado”, disse Chapeuzinho Vermelho à mãe, e deu-lhe a mão como promessa.
‘I will take great care,’ said Little Red-Cap to her mother, and gave her hand on it.
A avó morava na floresta, a meia légua da aldeia, e assim que Chapeuzinho Vermelho entrou na floresta, um lobo encontrou-a. Chapeuzinho não sabia que criatura perversa ele era e não teve medo algum dele.
The grandmother lived out in the wood, half a league from the village, and just as Little Red-Cap entered the wood, a wolf met her. Red-Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him.
“Bom dia, Chapeuzinho Vermelho”, disse ele.
‘Good day, Little Red-Cap,’ said he.
“Muito obrigada, lobo.”
‘Thank you kindly, wolf.’
“Para onde vai tão cedo, Chapeuzinho Vermelho?”
‘Whither away so early, Little Red-Cap?’
“Para a casa da minha avó.”
‘To my grandmother’s.’
“O que você tem no seu avental?”
‘What have you got in your apron?’
“Bolo e vinho; ontem foi dia de assar, então a pobre vovó doente vai ganhar algo bom para ficar mais forte.”
‘Cake and wine; yesterday was baking-day, so poor sick grandmother is to have something good, to make her stronger.’
“Onde mora sua avó, Chapeuzinho Vermelho?”
‘Where does your grandmother live, Little Red-Cap?’
“Um bom quarto de légua mais adiante na floresta; a casa dela fica sob os três grandes carvalhos, as nogueiras estão logo abaixo; você certamente deve conhecer”, respondeu Chapeuzinho Vermelho.
‘A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood; her house stands under the three large oak-trees, the nut-trees are just below; you surely must know it,’ replied Little Red-Cap.
