Little Red Cap by Liza Basay

If you google “Little Red Cap”, you will find much more than a simple message for kids not to trust strangers. You can dig as deep as you can dive into that dark forest and never return the same.

All the analyses, poem interpretations, illustrations, movies, cartoons, and philosophical works you find are created by adults for adults to enjoy various fantasies and explore our own psychology.

Is it necessary for living? Yes! Otherwise, life would be mere survival for the physical body. Is it a matter of money? Yes and no. It is a matter of knowledge, the capability to enjoy something sophisticated, a matter of taste.

So, if it makes a good story, I suggest you trust a stranger — trust me.
