What is the true story about the Ginger Bread man and Little Red Riding Hood? Please help :)?

Answer 1

The Gingerbread Man ate Little Red Riding Hood up. The wolf ate the Gingerbread Man. None of them lived happily ever after. Sort of like having George Bush as your president, a disastrous result.

Answer 2

The true story? You mean the original story or you mean the actual real life inspiration? If you´re talking about real life events, I don´t think anybody has the answer to that, since they are children´s stories and are fictional. The original versions I´m sure can be found somewhere online (or the closest known originals anyway.)

Here are the "originals" of Little Red Riding Hood (in chronological order I believe) http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0333.html

Gingerbread Boy: The Gingerbread Boy is the retelling of an old folk tale that probably began in England. When the story was first told in Colonial America it was called Johnny Cake. Other countries also have their own versions of the tale. Norway’s story is known as The Pancake while the German version is known as The Runaway Pancake. The Bulgarian version is called the Round Cake of Wheat and Russia’s version is known as The Bun.

Also, some stories have new modern versions, which are sometimes called "The true story.." but it´s actually the same story as told by one of the other characters (like, "Little Red Riding Hood" is told by the wolf) and the events are slightly different. They usually portray the villain as the victim and are humorous.

Answer 3

"The Gingerbread Man is an English fairy tale about a gingerbread man that comes to life. It exists in several variants, in which the piece of food is not always the same. Joseph Jacobs collected two variants; in "English Fairy Tales", it is a Johnny Cake (sweet cornbread), and in "More English Fairy Tales", a Scottish variant has a wee bannock."

"Little Red Riding Hood" is an old (14th century) European fairy tale, written down and popularized by Charles Perrault in France (Tales of Mother Goose ("Histoires et contes du temps passé, avec des moralités. Contes de ma mère l'Oye" ("Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals. Tales of Mother Goose "), 1697) and by the brothers Grimm in Germany ("Kinder- und Hausmärchen" ("Children's and Household Tales"), 1812).

There is no true story behind them.
