Actually, she and her grandmother were eaten. But a hunter came by and cut them out of its stomach while it slept. Then they filled his stomach with rocks and sewed it up. It struggled to get away when it woke up, but was weighed down too much to move. Then it died.

If it has a happy ending, it was a sanitized version. The generally accepted "original core" is that the 'grandmother' dies, there is no 'hunter', for one reason or another the girl gets away but not without experiencing fear/living with a healthy dose of fear for the rest of her life and the 'wolf' lives.

Well I would assume most of the time it's told as a bedtime story. I would hate to be the kid who tries to sleep at night knowing the Wolf that ate the grandmother and almost got the little girl was still out there.

The story dates back before the 17th century, its supposed to be a "its a dangerous world out there" story not a "and they lived happily ever after, now go to bed honey" story.
I think that nearly all the story during the 17th century didn't have "good" ending, or ending one would considered good in anyway.
BTW, The first written works of LRRH was by Charles Perrault and in his version both little red and grandmother get eaten by the wolf. The first accorded "sanitized" version of the story was by the brothers Grimm.
That is kinda wrong there... I mean, every story can get a good ending from one view or another... Look at the original this way: After having succesfully eaten one human, the wolf didn't have problems with food for several days. There... a 'good end'. One sided thinking limits human potential. Don't be limited...
I always learned that the story is that grandma got gobbled, hunter killed it, ripped it's stomach out and grandma was still alive inside. Only the Wolf got hurt. o_O

(Twilight, sheesh...BAD VAMPIRE FANFICTION.)
Not that I really doubt you, but do you have a source for this? I've never heard this before, and I didn't see anything like this in wikipedia for an "original version", although there is talk about it referring to a feminist re-interpretation where the wolf is a rapist, and Red Riding Hood and the Grandmother fight the wolf off themselves.
Since when was bestiality removed when it is well drawn, locked away, and also on the site for years and years and years previous?
Is this deletion actually in accordance with the rules? If it is, then I will shut up and delete this comment.
Unless this is a very new rule, there is no such rule that excludes bestiality (no I'm not a fan of it) which means this flag was done mainly on personal/emotional grounds. In short, the flag doesn't stand (again unless there's some secret rule that bans it).
