From "Goldenflower and the Bear" by Chiang Mi

This story is very different from any other Little Red Riding Hood tale I have ever heard. The little girl was not going to see her grandmother, instead the grandmother was to come over and take care of the litte girl, Goldenflower, and her brother. In this version there was no wolf instead it was a bear. "It's the Bear which likes to eat children. Goldenflower calmed and pretended to have seen nothing. But how to deal with this wicked Bear? Her mother had told her that bears were afraid of lice. She grabbed a handful of seeds and took off her brother's hat, pretending to be catching lice in his hair"(20).  Goldenflower was also a very clever little girl and figured out the bear was not her grandmother very quickly.
Goldenflower knew exactly how to handle the situation with the bear and she tricked the bear. The little girl protected her little brother and then later escaped from the bear and protected herself. Unlike other stories this little girl was very smart and was able to confuse the bear and keep herself safe.
