"Little Red Riding Hood"

"Little Red Riding Hood" is one of the fairy tale that I had

read during the early age of my childhood. By the first time reading it, I didn't realized this tale is that meaningful. And the version I read doesn't contains any sexuality or any bad issues, but in the other versions, they were actully has a lot of negative materials that will affect child's mind.
Such as the early version of LRRH, which is called "The story of Grandmother". In this version the LRRH was actully ask by the wolf to taking off all of her cloths off and lay beside the wolf. And also in this version, LRRH's grandmother were chopped into pieces by the wolf and later the wolf asked LRRH to eat the flesh and drink the blood of her grandmother. I think this is cruel and unnatural actions and is very negative for any children to know.
Also in the "The Story of Grandmother " version, things happened very illogical: in the begining of the story, LRRH were acted as a very silly rural girl that she doesn't know anything and even that cat called her a slut. But by the end of the story she became as a genius (compare to her characteristic in the begining of the story), she escaped from wolf by asked to go outside the house and tied the other side of the rope to a plum tree.
