LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD and the KESH KAYL

As told by Talene Dadian White

Little Red Hood and the Kesh Kayl tells the story of Little Red Hood (Gamir Klkhargig) as she set out to Medz Mayreeg's (Grandma's) house to bring her sick grandmother some freshly baked lamajun. Little does she know, the kesh kayl (bad wolf) is hot on her trail, as lamajin is his favorite food to eat! The kesh kayl tricks Little Red Hood and arrives at Medz Mayreeg's house before, hungrily waiting for the lamajun to arrive. The kayl's plot to steal the lamajun is ultimately foiled when Medz Mayreeg and some lumberjacks arrive on the scene to rescue Little Red Hood and the lamajun.
