Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Leila who lived in a small village at the edge of a dense forest. She was known for her vibrant red cloak that she wore every day.

One day, Leila's mother asked her to take a basket of fresh fruits to her grandmother who lived on the other side of the forest.

As she set off on her journey, she was watched from the shadows by a cunning wolf. The wolf had mischievous eyes and a sly grin, always on the lookout for trouble.

The wolf approached Leila, pretending to be friendly, and asked her where she was going. Leila, being innocent, told him about her grandmother's house.

The wolf, with his sly intentions, decided to reach the grandmother's house before Leila. He took a shortcut he knew and arrived at the house while Leila was still on her way.

Meanwhile, Leila continued her journey through the forest, unaware of the wolf's intentions. She admired the beautiful flowers and sang songs, enjoying her journey.

Upon reaching her grandmother's house, Leila noticed the door was slightly open. She walked in, and to her surprise, she saw the wolf in her grandmother's bed, disguised as her.

Leila, confused and scared, backed away from the wolf. Just then, a brave hunter from the village came to her rescue. The hunter had been keeping an eye on the wolf for quite some time.

The hunter managed to scare the wolf away and saved both Leila and her grandmother. From that day forward, Leila promised never to talk to strangers again, no matter how friendly they seemed.

The news of Leila's adventure spread throughout the village. The villagers praised the hunter for his bravery and Leila for her courage. This incident reminded everyone in the village to always be cautious.

Leila grew up to be a wise and brave girl. She often shared her story with the children in the village, hoping it would teach them the importance of being careful and not trusting strangers.

And so, Leila's story became a cautionary tale, passed down from generation to generation. It served as a reminder of the dangers that lurk in the shadows and the importance of being vigilant.
