Red Riding Hood Arrives at Grandmother's House

Very soon the wolf, who was quite hungry after his run, eat up poor grand-mother. Indeed, she was not enough for his breakfast, and so he thought he would like to eat sweet Red Riding-Hood also. Therefore he dressed himself in Granny's nightcap and got into bed, and waited for the child to knock at the door. But he waited a long time.

By and by Little Red Riding-Hood reached her grandmother's house, and tapped at the door.

Come in, said the wolf, in a squeaking voice. Pull the string, and the latch will come up.

Red Riding-Hood thought grand-mother must have a cold, she spoke so hoarsely, but she went in at once, and there lay her granny, as she thought, in bed.

If you please, grandmamma, mother sends you some butter and eggs, she said.

Come here, dear, said the wicked wolf, and let me kiss you, and Red Riding-Hood obeyed.
