A bit of info: usually, I preffer the Brothers Grimm version of Red Riding Hood, but to this strip I got the text from Perraults version…
• In Grimms' version, RRH asks for the ears, eyes, hands and MOUTH. Not matches with this scene, and Maria dont' have big mouth :P http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2591/2591-h/2591-h.htm#link2H_4_0023
• In Perrault's, she asks for the arms and legs, ears, eyes and teeth. So, i ignored the arms/legs part and I have a strip now :D http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17208/17208-h/17208-h.htm#LITTLE_RED_RIDING-HOOD
