I love these (Caldeott Honor) illustrations even though I'm not a huge fan of this particular version of the story - here's the ending:
As Little Red Riding Hood walked home through the woods, she thought to herself, "I will never wander off the forest path again, as long as I live. I should have kept my promise to my mother." She was comforted, though, that she had at least minded her manners, and had always said "Good morning," "Please," and "Thank you."
(Seems to me that she could have just as easily decided that going off the path wasn't so bad, since everything turned out fine for her and her grandmother...)
Despite the moralistic ending, this book has run into trouble because Little Red Riding Hood takes *wine* to her grandmother - who drinks it and feels better!
Apparently the morals and the controversy are both normal for this story...although usually not for the beverages! :p
