This proverb makes it clearer:
It's dangerous for children to listen to evil people, especially for maidens, slender and fair-faced. It's no wonder or miracle to end up as the wolves' third course. "Little Red Riding Hood." Charles Perrault. The Complete Collection of Charles Perrault's Fairy Tales in Unadapted Translations for Adults. In Russia, Perrault's fairy tales have long been universally known—children of many generations are familiar with Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Tom Thumb, and Little Red Riding Hood. But all of these were adapted versions of fairy tales. Soviet publishers, striving to adapt them for children's perceptions, often went too far. At that time, the idea that fairy tales must have happy endings had become established. For example, after 1945, all editions of "Little Red Riding Hood" had a happy ending: at the end, the wolf's belly is cut open and the girl is saved. Perrault's tale ends tragically. In his version, Little Red Riding Hood violated the rules of decency and paid for it with her life. This collection includes all of Perrault's fairy tales—prose and poetry—in unadapted translations, edited by Mikhail Alexandrovich Petrovsky. It also includes the most famous tales of his successors and followers, exemplifying French fairy tale literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. The book is illustrated with engravings by Gustave Doré, as well as magnificent drawings by John Gilbert, Walter Crane, John Batten, Henri de Montaud, Jules-Marie Desandre, Clément-Pierre Marillier, and Alexander Dmitrievich Silin, representing great historical and artistic value.
