Lon Po Po

This is a Chinese version of Little Red Riding Hood. In this version, the wolf hears that the mother is going to visit the grandma. He knows the three children will be alone, so he pretends to be their grandma visiting them, having just missed their mother. They let him inside after he explains his lower voice is caused by a cold. As he comes in, he blows out the candle. They get in bed together and the children start to feel the tail and claws of the wolf. The oldest girl lights the candle and sees the wolfs face, yet the wold doesn't know. She tells the wolf of the chestnuts that will give him everlasting life and says the children will get him one. She gets the children to climb up the tree with her so they wolf can't get them. Eventually, she kills him with a basket of nuts.
