NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS SHE WAS TOLD!!!!!
by Teresa on March 4th, 2009
I think in general terms it's to be on guard for deviance in others. There's also the lesson there about not judging appearances.
I'm not sure I agree with the lesson about not talking to strangers, because the wolf would have followed her had she never spoken with him, and in some stories a man comes and saves the grandmother by cutting her out of the wolf's belly, and he's a stranger, too, but he is good to have around.
But, really, I think Little Red Riding Hood is like a lot of really old folk tales that have been and can be told in all sorts of ways, and I suspect there isn't necessarily a moral lesson in each, or that the moral lesson can change depending on who's telling the tale.
