Un giorno la mamma le chiese di portare un cestino di vivande alla nonna, raccomandandole di non fermarsi nel bosco, per evitare di imbattersi in un ferocissimo lupo. Cappuccetto Rosso le disobbedì e nel bosco si divertì a cantare e danzare con gli animali fino a sera. Quindi riprese il cammino verso casa della nonna.
