Tales: The red ridding hood

Everyone know the story of the red ridding hood, the one where this little girl goes to see her grandma, and in the way is tricked by a wolf
Such innocent little girl
The wolf sent her to the longest path while he takes a shorter way, eats his grandma and puts her sleep gown on. 
Then the little red ridding hood arrives the wolf tries to eat her but a woodcutter appears like superman and rescues the poor girl

Well, this is the actual version because years, lots of them, before we had another interesting version
One more "for adults" where the wolf not only eat her but before that rapes her
Giving the female readers of that time period not to be innocent but distrustful when dealing with men, whose are identified by the wolf (A not very well valued animal then)

However time ago i met a woman who told me there was another version more from the same epoch

This time the villain is not the Big bad wolf. Not, this time is the devilish red ridding hood. Who in not very fond of her grandma and wants to kill her. So she tricks the wolf making the poor fool girl 
The wolf thinking that is going to have a nice dinner goes to the house and eats red ridding hood's grandma
Meanwhile the red ridding hood is asking for help to a woodcutter that was close, telling him that a big bad wolf ate her grandma. So the kind hearted woodcutter goes and kill the not too innocent wolf.
In this way, the little red ridding hood got rid of her grandma, obtaining a new house and eliminating the danger that was around, the wolf.
