Budulinek (2)

Now Budulinek thought to himself.
" Oh, that would be fun to ride on the tail of Lishka, the fox ! "

So Budulinek forgot all about what Granny said to him every day and open the door.

Lishka, the sly old thing, came into the room and what do you think she did ? Do you think she gave Budulinek a ride on her tail ? Well, she didn't. She just went over to the table and gobbled up the bowl of soup that Granny had put there for Budulinek's dinner and then she ran away.

When dinner time came Budulinek hadn't anything to eat.

In the evening when Granny came home, she said:
" Budulinek, did you open the door and let any one in ? "

Budulinek was crying because he was sohungry, and he said:
" Yes, I let in Lishka, the old mother fox, and she ate up all my dinner, too ! "

Granny said: " Now, Budulinek, you see what happens when you open the door and let someone in. Another time remember what Granny says and don't open the door. "

The next morning Granny cooked some porridge for Budulinek's dinner and said:
" Now, Budulinek, here's some porridge for your dinner. Remember: while I'm gone you must not open the door no matter who knocks. "

Granny was no sooner out of sight than Lishka came again and knocked on the door.
