So little red is diverted from the path and suddenly divided from the instructions of her mother, and she's acting against that real, the one that really loves her, for this false love of the kindly Wolf you know, like a used car salesman in the woods, telling you: this car is going to make you happy and you should buy it, and then it's a piece of junk.
