Once upon a time in the Mt. Makiling, there is a girl who is well known for wearing a red hood, and her name is Ruby.
One time her playmate asked her.
"Why are you always wearing that red hood?"
"This is one of the valuable things that my grandmother gave me, sadly I didn't have a chance to meet her because she died when I'm still in my mom's womb that's why I always wear this red hood, I felt her embrace even though she's gone." And a tear fell down on Ruby's cheeks while saying those words, then she hug the red hood for her to feel the presence of her late grandmother.
Ruby is beautiful, kind, friendly, helpful and other good personalities she have. She also loves to roam around.
One day when she was roaming around, she didn't realize the time and it was already night. She didn't know the way back because it was very dark in the forest, she kept walking in the dark forest of Mt. Makiling, hoping that someone will help her. She was about to give up, lose hope and start to cry but stopped immediately when she saw a small house made of huts. She quickly ran and knocked. After a few seconds, an old woman opened it.
"What can I do for you uh little red hoodie girl?"
"I was lost in the middle of the forest. I didn't realize the time and I couldn't see the way back to our house."
"Come in, after all I'm the only one here. I'll prepare something to eat."
When Ruby first met the old woman, she remembered her late grandmother. She have a soft heart especially to the elders.
"Can I call you Lola?"
"Sure."
"Thank you, Lola."
While they are eating, Lola asked her.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Ruby."
"Oh, what a beautiful name! Just like your red hood. Anyway, go to sleep. You need energy for tomorrow."
"Thank you but wait, Lola. Why are you alone here? You are old and you need someone to take care of you."
"I don't have any relatives and it's okay that I'm alone, I'm used to it. Go to sleep now."
She felt sad hearing what her Lola said.
"Goodnight, Lola."
Morning came and Ruby was finally got in their home. They hugged each other tightly.
"Where did you go? We are worried about you."
"I'm sorry mom and dad. I was lost in the middle of the forest but thanks to Lola, she helped me."
Since then, Ruby often visits what she considers her grandmother. She became close to Lola.
"Mom, can I visit Lola again?" She asked her mom first. She learned her lesson after she was lost in the middle of the dark forest.
"Yes, you can. Just take care."
"Yes, mom!"
"Ruby before you leave. Here is some goodies, give it to her."
"Noted, dad!"
She's walking happily when she saw a bunch of beautiful flowers, thinking that her Lola will be happy to see those, she pick flowers.
After she picked some, she continue walking but suddenly she saw a beggar. Because she's very helpful and generous, she gave some goodies but the beggar asked for water, that's why she decided to bring the beggar into her Lola's house. She didn't know that the beggar was only in disguise and has an evil plan to her.
