It's clearer from this proverb:
It's dangerous for children to listen to evil men, especially for girls who are slender and fair-faced. It's no wonder and no miracle to fall to the wolves for the third course. "Little Red Riding Hood." Charles Perrault Complete collection of fairy tales by Charles Perrault in non-adapted translations for adults. In Russia, Perrault's fairy tales have long been universally known - children of many generations are familiar with Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Tom Thumb and Little Red Riding Hood. But all these were adapted versions of fairy tales. Soviet publishers, trying to adapt them to children's perception, often overdid it. In those days, it was already a well-established opinion that fairy tales must necessarily end well. For example, after 1945, all editions of "Little Red Riding Hood" had a happy ending: in the finale, the wolf's stomach is cut open and the girl is saved. Perrault's tale ends tragically. In his version, Little Red Riding Hood violated the rules of decency and paid for it with her life. This collection includes all Perrault's fairy tales - prose and verse - in non-adapted translations, published by the editorship of Mikhail Alexandrovich Petrovsky. And also the most famous fairy tales of his continuators and followers - as samples of French fairy tale literature of the XVII-XVIII centuries. The book is illustrated with engravings by Gustave Doré, as well as magnificent drawings by John Gilbert, Walter Crane, John Batten, Henri de Monto, Jules-Marie Desandre, Clément-Pierre Marillier, and Alexander Dmitrievich Silin, which are of great historical and artistic value.
