Sa grand-mère, surtout, l’adorait tellement qu’elle lui faisait très souvent des cadeaux. Une fois, elle lui offrit un chaperon de velours rouge. La fillette le trouvait si beau qu’elle ne voulait plus s’en séparer. Et c’est ainsi que tous ceux qui la connaissaient lui donnèrent le nom de Petit Chaperon Rouge.
