Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good evening, and welcome to Rest, your sanctuary for peaceful
sleep and relaxation. Whether you're escaping daily stresses or seeking
a nightly companion, you're in the right place. My name
is Jessica, and i'll be your host this evening. Before
(00:27):
we begin, why don't you turn off your screens and
turn down your volume. Now that's done, let's unwind and
help you ease into a blessed rest. Tonight's bedtime story
(00:56):
is the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding It's
a story that many of us first heard long ago,
a tale that has lived on through generations, like a
lantern passed gently from hand to hand. Picture the tall trees,
(01:18):
the winding trail, and the quiet cottage at the end
of the journey, every single step leading you toward rest.
You don't need to follow every turn of the path
or remember every detail. Just let the familiar rhythm of
(01:38):
this classic carry you. So settle in, let your breath soften,
and allow Little Red riding Hood to guide you gently
into sleep. Once upon a time, there was a dear
(02:01):
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. Once,
she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which
suited her so well that she would never wear anything else,
(02:26):
so she was always called Little Red Cap. 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. Set out before it
(02:49):
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
(03:14):
corner before you do it. I will take great care,
said Little Red Cap to her mother, and gave her
hand on it. 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
(03:38):
Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was,
and was not at all afraid of him. Good day,
Little Red Cap said, he thank you kindly. Wolf whither
away so early, Little Red Cap to my grandmother's what
(03:59):
have you got in your apron cake and wine. Yesterday
was baking day, so poor sick grandmother is to have
something good to make her stronger. Where does your grandmother live,
little Red Cap? A good quarter of a league farther
(04:20):
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. The wolf
thought to himself, what a tender young creature, What a
(04:42):
nice plump mouthful. She will be better to eat than
the old woman. I must act craftily so as to
catch both. So he walked for a short time by
the side of Little Red Cap, and then he said, see,
(05:04):
Little Red Cap, how pretty the flowers are about here.
Why do you not look round? I believe too that
you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing.
You walk gravely along, as if you were going to school,
while everything else out here in the wood is merry.
(05:29):
Little Red Cap raised her eyes, and when she saw
the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and
pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought, suppose I take grandmother
a fresh nosegay. That would please her too. It is
(05:51):
so early in the day that I shall still get
there in good time. And so she ran from the
park into the wood to look for flowers, And whenever
she had picked one, she fancied that she saw a
still prettier one farther on, and ran after it, and
(06:14):
so got deeper and deeper into the wood. Meanwhile, the
wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at
the door. Who is there, Little Red Cap, replied the wolf.
She is bringing cake and wine. Opened the door, lift
(06:39):
the latch, called out the grandmother. I am too weak
and cannot get up. The wolf lifted the latch, the
door sprang open, and without saying a word, he went
straight to the grandmother's bed and devoured her. Then he
(07:01):
put on her clothes, dressed himself in her cap, laid
himself in bed, and drew the curtains. Little Red Cap, however,
had been running about picking flowers, and when she had
gathered so many that she could carry no more, she
(07:23):
remembered her grandmother and set out on the waiter her.
She was surprised to find the cottage door standing open,
and when she went into the room, she had such
a strange feeling that she said to herself, Oh, dear,
(07:43):
how uneasy I feel today and at other times. I
like being with grandmother so much. She called out good morning,
but received no answer. So she went to the bed
and drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother, with
(08:05):
her cap pulled far over her face and looking very strange. Oh, grandmother,
she said, what big is you have? The better to
hear you with my child, was the reply. But grandmother,
(08:27):
what big eyes you have? She said, The better to
see you with, my dear. But grandmother, what large hands
you have? The better to hug you with? Oh, but grandmother,
(08:49):
what a terrible big mouth you have? The better to
eat you with? And scarcely had the wolf said this
that With one bound, he was out of bed and
swallowed up red cap. When the wolf had appeased his appetite,
(09:10):
he lay down again in the bed, fell asleep, and
began to snore very loud. The huntsman was just passing
the house and thought to himself, how the old woman
is snoring. I must just see if she wants anything.
(09:31):
So he went into the room, and when he came
to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying
in it. Do I find you here, you old sinner?
Said he I have long sought you. Then, just as
he was going to fire at him, it occurred to
(09:53):
him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and
that she might still be saved. So he did not fire,
but took a pair of scissors and began to cut
open the stomach of the sleeping wolf. When he had
made two snips, he saw the little Red Cap shining.
(10:17):
And then he made two snips more, and the little
girl sprang out, crying, Ah, how frightened I have been,
how dark it was inside the wolf. And after that
the aged grandmother came out alive, also, but scarcely able
(10:40):
to breathe. Red Cap, however, quickly fetched great stones with
which they filled the wolf's belly, And when he awoke,
he wanted to run away, but the stones were so
heavy that he collapsed at once and fell dead. Then
(11:02):
all three were delighted. The huntsman drew off the wolf's
skin and went home with it. The grandmother ate the
cake and drank the wine which Red Cap had brought,
and revived. But Redcap thought to herself, as long as
(11:22):
I live, I will never by myself leave the path
to run into the wood when my mother has forbidden
me to do so. It also related that once Red
Cap was again taking cakes to the old grandmother, another
wolf spoke to her and tried to entice her from
(11:46):
the path. Red Cap, however, was on her guard, and
went straight forward on her way and told her grandmother
that she had met the wolf, and that he had
said good morning to her, but with such a wicked
look in his eyes, that if they had not been
(12:07):
on the public road, she was certain he would have
eaten her up. Well, said the grandmother, we will shut
the door that he may not come in. Soon afterwards,
the wolf knocked and cried open the door, grandmother, I
(12:28):
am little Red Cap and am bringing you some cakes.
But they did not speak or opened the door. So
the gray beard stole twice or thrice round the house,
and at last jumped on the roof, intending to wait
until Red Cap went home in the evening, and then
(12:52):
to steal after her and devour her in the darkness.
But the grandmother saw or what was in his thoughts
in front of the house was a great stone trough.
So she said to the child, take the pail. Red Cap,
(13:13):
I made some sausages yesterday, so carry the water in
which I boiled them to the trough. Red Cap carried
until the great trough was quite full. Then the smell
of the sausages reached the wolf, and he sniffed and
(13:33):
peeped down, and at last stretched out his neck so
far that he could no longer keep his footing, and
began to slip, and slipped down from the roof straight
into the great trough, and was drowned. But Red Cap
(13:55):
went joyously home, and no one ever did anything to
harm her again. 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
(14:18):
there was nothing that she would not have given to
the child. 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. One day her mother said to her, come,
(14:43):
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.
Set out before it gets hot, and when you are
good going, walk nicely and quietly, and do not run
(15:05):
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.
(15:26):
I will take great care, said Little Red Cap to
her mother, and gave her hand on it. 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
(15:49):
wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid
of him. Good day, little Red Cap said, he thank
you kindly. Wolf. Whither away so early, Little Red Cap
to my grandmother's What have you got in your apron
(16:10):
cake and wine? Yesterday was baking day, So poor sick
grandmother is to have something good to make her stronger.
Where does your grandmother live, little Red Cap, A good
quarter of a league farther on in the wood. Her
(16:31):
house stands under the three large oak trees. The nut
trees are just below. You. Surely must know it, replied
Little Red Cap. The wolf thought to himself, what a
tender young creature, What a nice, plump mouthful. She will
(16:54):
be better to eat than the old woman. I must
act raftily so as to catch both. So he walked
for a short time by the side of Little Red Cap,
And then he said, see, little Red Cap, how pretty
(17:15):
the flowers are about here. Why do you not look round?
I believe too that you do not hear how sweetly
the little birds are singing. You walk gravely along as
if you were going to school, while everything else out
here in the wood is merry. Little Red Cap raised
(17:40):
her eyes, and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here
and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere,
she thought, suppose I take grandmother a fresh nosegay. That
would please her too. It is so early in the

And so she ran from the path into the wood

Little Red Cap replied the wolf. She is bringing cake

(18:50):
the grandmother. I am too weak and cannot get up.
The wolf lifted the latch the doors brang open, and
without saying a word, he went straight to the grandmother's
bed and devoured her. Then he put on her clothes,
(19:12):
dressed himself in her cap, laid himself in bed, and
drew the curtains. Little Red Cap, however, had been running
about picking flowers, and when she had gathered so many
that she could carry no more, she remembered her grandmother
(19:34):
and set out on the way to her. She was
surprised to find the cottage door standing open, and when
she went into the room, she had such a strange
feeling that she said to herself, Oh, dear, how uneasy
I feel today? And at other times I like being
(19:57):
with grandmother so much. She called out good morning, but
received no answer, So she went to the bed and
drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother, with her
cap pulled far over her face and looking very strange.
(20:21):
Oh grandmother, she said, what big is you have? The

But grandmother, what big eyes you have? She said, The
better to see you with my dear, But grandmother, what
(20:48):
large hands you have? The better to hug you with? Oh,
but grandmother, what a terrible, big man, health, you have
the better to eat you with. And scarcely had the
wolf said this than with one bound he was out
(21:10):
of bed and swallowed up red cap. When the wolf
had appeased his appetite, he lay down again in the bed,
fell asleep, and began to snore very loud. The huntsman

Good evening, and welcome to Rest, your sanctuary for peaceful
sleep and relaxation. Whether you're escaping daily stresses or seeking
a nightly companion, you're in the right place. My name
is Jessica, and i'll be your host this evening. Before
(00:27):
we begin, why don't you turn off your screens and
turn down your volume. Now that's done, let's unwind and
help you ease into a blessed rest. Tonight's bedtime story
(00:56):
is the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding It's
a story that many of us first heard long ago,
a tale that has lived on through generations, like a
lantern passed gently from hand to hand. Picture the tall trees,
(01:18):
the winding trail, and the quiet cottage at the end
of the journey, every single step leading you toward rest.
You don't need to follow every turn of the path
or remember every detail. Just let the familiar rhythm of
(01:38):
this classic carry you. So settle in, let your breath soften,
and allow Little Red riding Hood to guide you gently
into sleep. Once upon a time, there was a dear
(02:01):
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. Once,
she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which
suited her so well that she would never wear anything else,
(02:26):
so she was always called Little Red Cap. 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. Set out before it
(02:49):
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
(03:14):
corner before you do it. I will take great care,
said Little Red Cap to her mother, and gave her
hand on it. 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
(03:38):
Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was,
and was not at all afraid of him. Good day,
Little Red Cap said, he thank you kindly. Wolf whither
away so early, Little Red Cap to my grandmother's what
(03:59):
have you got in your apron cake and wine. Yesterday
was baking day, so poor sick grandmother is to have
something good to make her stronger. Where does your grandmother live,
little Red Cap? A good quarter of a league farther
(04:20):
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. The wolf
thought to himself, what a tender young creature, What a
(04:42):
nice plump mouthful. She will be better to eat than
the old woman. I must act craftily so as to
catch both. So he walked for a short time by
the side of Little Red Cap, and then he said, see,
(05:04):
Little Red Cap, how pretty the flowers are about here.
Why do you not look round? I believe too that
you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing.
You walk gravely along, as if you were going to school,
while everything else out here in the wood is merry.
(05:29):
Little Red Cap raised her eyes, and when she saw
the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and
pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought, suppose I take grandmother
a fresh nosegay. That would please her too. It is
(05:51):
so early in the day that I shall still get
there in good time. And so she ran from the
park into the wood to look for flowers, And whenever
she had picked one, she fancied that she saw a
still prettier one farther on, and ran after it, and
(06:14):
so got deeper and deeper into the wood. Meanwhile, the
wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at
the door. Who is there, Little Red Cap, replied the wolf.
She is bringing cake and wine. Opened the door, lift
(06:39):
the latch, called out the grandmother. I am too weak
and cannot get up. The wolf lifted the latch, the
door sprang open, and without saying a word, he went
straight to the grandmother's bed and devoured her. Then he
(07:01):
put on her clothes, dressed himself in her cap, laid
himself in bed, and drew the curtains. Little Red Cap, however,
had been running about picking flowers, and when she had
gathered so many that she could carry no more, she
(07:23):
remembered her grandmother and set out on the waiter her.
She was surprised to find the cottage door standing open,
and when she went into the room, she had such
a strange feeling that she said to herself, Oh, dear,
(07:43):
how uneasy I feel today and at other times. I
like being with grandmother so much. She called out good morning,
but received no answer. So she went to the bed
and drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother, with
(08:05):
her cap pulled far over her face and looking very strange. Oh, grandmother,
she said, what big is you have? The better to
hear you with my child, was the reply. But grandmother,
(08:27):
what big eyes you have? She said, The better to
see you with, my dear. But grandmother, what large hands
you have? The better to hug you with? Oh, but grandmother,
(08:49):
what a terrible big mouth you have? The better to
eat you with? And scarcely had the wolf said this
that With one bound, he was out of bed and
swallowed up red cap. When the wolf had appeased his appetite,
(09:10):
he lay down again in the bed, fell asleep, and
began to snore very loud. The huntsman was just passing
the house and thought to himself, how the old woman
is snoring. I must just see if she wants anything.
(09:31):
So he went into the room, and when he came
to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying
in it. Do I find you here, you old sinner?
Said he I have long sought you. Then, just as
he was going to fire at him, it occurred to
(09:53):
him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and
that she might still be saved. So he did not fire,
but took a pair of scissors and began to cut
open the stomach of the sleeping wolf. When he had
made two snips, he saw the little Red Cap shining.
(10:17):
And then he made two snips more, and the little
girl sprang out, crying, Ah, how frightened I have been,
how dark it was inside the wolf. And after that
the aged grandmother came out alive, also, but scarcely able
(10:40):
to breathe. Red Cap, however, quickly fetched great stones with
which they filled the wolf's belly, And when he awoke,
he wanted to run away, but the stones were so
heavy that he collapsed at once and fell dead. Then
(11:02):
all three were delighted. The huntsman drew off the wolf's
skin and went home with it. The grandmother ate the
cake and drank the wine which Red Cap had brought,
and revived. But Redcap thought to herself, as long as
(11:22):
I live, I will never by myself leave the path
to run into the wood when my mother has forbidden
me to do so. It also related that once Red
Cap was again taking cakes to the old grandmother, another
wolf spoke to her and tried to entice her from
(11:46):
the path. Red Cap, however, was on her guard, and
went straight forward on her way and told her grandmother
that she had met the wolf, and that he had
said good morning to her, but with such a wicked
look in his eyes, that if they had not been
(12:07):
on the public road, she was certain he would have
eaten her up. Well, said the grandmother, we will shut
the door that he may not come in. Soon afterwards,
the wolf knocked and cried open the door, grandmother, I
(12:28):
am little Red Cap and am bringing you some cakes.
But they did not speak or opened the door. So
the gray beard stole twice or thrice round the house,
and at last jumped on the roof, intending to wait
until Red Cap went home in the evening, and then
(12:52):
to steal after her and devour her in the darkness.
But the grandmother saw or what was in his thoughts
in front of the house was a great stone trough.
So she said to the child, take the pail. Red Cap,
(13:13):
I made some sausages yesterday, so carry the water in
which I boiled them to the trough. Red Cap carried
until the great trough was quite full. Then the smell
of the sausages reached the wolf, and he sniffed and
(13:33):
peeped down, and at last stretched out his neck so
far that he could no longer keep his footing, and
began to slip, and slipped down from the roof straight
into the great trough, and was drowned. But Red Cap
(13:55):
went joyously home, and no one ever did anything to
harm her again. 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
(14:18):
there was nothing that she would not have given to
the child. 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. One day her mother said to her, come,
(14:43):
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.
Set out before it gets hot, and when you are
good going, walk nicely and quietly, and do not run
(15:05):
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.
(15:26):
I will take great care, said Little Red Cap to
her mother, and gave her hand on it. 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
(15:49):
wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid
of him. Good day, little Red Cap said, he thank
you kindly. Wolf. Whither away so early, Little Red Cap
to my grandmother's What have you got in your apron
(16:10):
cake and wine? Yesterday was baking day, So poor sick
grandmother is to have something good to make her stronger.
Where does your grandmother live, little Red Cap, A good
quarter of a league farther on in the wood. Her
(16:31):
house stands under the three large oak trees. The nut
trees are just below. You. Surely must know it, replied
Little Red Cap. The wolf thought to himself, what a
tender young creature, What a nice, plump mouthful. She will
(16:54):
be better to eat than the old woman. I must
act raftily so as to catch both. So he walked
for a short time by the side of Little Red Cap,
And then he said, see, little Red Cap, how pretty
(17:15):
the flowers are about here. Why do you not look round?
I believe too that you do not hear how sweetly
the little birds are singing. You walk gravely along as
if you were going to school, while everything else out
here in the wood is merry. Little Red Cap raised
(17:40):
her eyes, and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here
and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere,
she thought, suppose I take grandmother a fresh nosegay. That
would please her too. It is so early in the
(18:01):
day that I shall still get there in good time.
And so she ran from the path into the wood
to look for flowers, And whenever she had picked one,
she fancied that she saw a still prettier one farther on,
and ran after it, and so got deeper and deeper
(18:26):

Little Red Cap replied the wolf. She is bringing cake
and wine. Opened the door, lift the latch, called out
(18:50):
the grandmother. I am too weak and cannot get up.
The wolf lifted the latch the doors brang open, and
without saying a word, he went straight to the grandmother's
bed and devoured her. Then he put on her clothes,
(19:12):
dressed himself in her cap, laid himself in bed, and
drew the curtains. Little Red Cap, however, had been running

(19:34):

drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother, with her

(20:21):
Oh grandmother, she said, what big is you have? The

But grandmother, what big eyes you have? She said, The
better to see you with my dear, But grandmother, what
(20:48):
large hands you have? The better to hug you with? Oh,
but grandmother, what a terrible, big man, health, you have
the better to eat you with. And scarcely had the
wolf said this than with one bound he was out
(21:10):
of bed and swallowed up red cap. When the wolf
had appeased his appetite, he lay down again in the bed,
fell asleep, and began to snore very loud. The huntsman
was just passing the house and thought to himself, how
