Holy crap. How small the world is. I often see his pictures in the comments of one popular news outlet and even occasionally repost them on another forum, where they are allowed to be directed. Of the recent ones I particularly like "Don't panic - get organised". Not only do I recognize the author, but he's right there. Kudos to him. If you can give me a link to his profile.

Such an unchildish tale... "Little Red Riding Hood.

Before Charles Perrault's world-famous version, the Grimm brothers wrote about a girl who went to her grandmother. However, in their (uncensored) version, the girl, having reached her grandmother, did not start to inquire where she got those big eyes and ears, but simply undressed and lay down next to her.
Then... she was immediately eaten and not a single lumberjack came to her rescue.

According to another, even earlier version, the wolf ate the grandmother first, and since he was full, he let Red Riding Hood's blood out, mixed it with wine, cooked a couple of dishes out of the girl, and called his wolf friends for a festive dinner.

Charles Perrault, who was essentially a nice guy, still couldn't avoid the sexual connotations of the story, because in French, the idiom: 'elle avait vu le loup' (she saw the wolf) means 'lost her virginity'.
