From the background, we know the main characters of the story are Little Red Riding Hood, her mother, Granny, and the Wolf.
We also know the story will take place in the woods, and Granny's house

# data[].attributes.body
Red Riding Hood has spent so much time playing, that she does not notice when a stranger approaches her.  A wolf comes up beside her and asks her what she is doing in the woods.  Forgetting that she is not supposed to talk to strangers, Red Riding Hood tells the wolf she is going to Granny's house, which is by the brook.
We know this is important because Red Riding Hood is not supposed to talk to strangers, but she does anyway.
