Scenario
In most modern tellings of the tale, a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood, while on her way to her Grandmother's house, is confronted by a "Big Bad Wolf". Though the wolf intends to eat her, he decides to first go to the girl's Grandmother's house. After gaining entry, the wolf swallows the Grandmother whole. The wolf then disguises himself as the Grandmother and, once Little Red Riding Hood arrives, he beckons her to him. Though the girl notices something is odd, before she can act, the wolf reveals himself and devours her whole as well.

In the original Charles Perrault version of the tale, the story ends there, thus resulting in the deaths of Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother. However, in many modern interpretations, a hunter or woodcutter happens upon the wolf, who is now asleep, and frees Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother from the Wolf's belly. They then fill the Wolf's stomach with stones, causing him to die afterwards.
