Little Red Riding-Hood (3)完

Little Red Riding-Hood came to the bed.

But, seeing how strangely her grandmother looked, she said to her," Grandmamma, what great arms you have! "

" All the better to hug you with, my dear. "

" Grandmamma, what great eyes you have ! "

"All the better to hear you with, my dear. "

" Grandmamma, what great teeth you have ! "

" All the better to eat you with, my dear. "

And with these words, the wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding-Hood, and ate her up.

Now the wolf, having satisfied his hunger, went to sleep, snoring loudly.

He snored so very loudly, indeed, that a hunter passing the house decided to enter to see if there was something wrong with the old woman.

When he walked up to her bed, he found the wolf.

" Aha, " he said, " I have been looking for you a long time, "

He saw that the wolf must have swallowed the grandmother and that she might yet be saved.

He picked up a pair of shears and began to slit open the wolf's body.

After a few snips, Little Red Riding-Hood appeared, and after a few more, out she jumped.
Then out came the old garndmother.

All three were pleased.

The huntsman took off the wolf's skin, and carried it home.

The grandmother ate the custard, and Little Red Riding-Hood said she would never more pick flowers in the wood or listen to a wolf.
