With these words, the wicked Wolf leapt upon Little Red Riding Hood and gobbled her up.įrom this story one learns that children, "Grandmother dear, what big teeth you have!" "Grandmother dear, what big eyes you have!" "Grandmother dear, what big ears you have!" "Grandmother dear, what big legs you have!" "Grandmother dear!" she exclaimed, "what big arms you have!" Little Red Riding Hood took off her cloak, but when she climbed up on the bed she was astonished to see how her grandmother looked in her nightgown. "Put the cake and the little pot of butter on the bin," he said, "and come up on the bed with me."
When he saw her enter, the Wolf hid himself in the bed beneath the counterpane. Little Red Riding Hood drew out the peg and the door flew open. "Pull out the peg and the latch will fall." Softening his voice, the Wolf called out to her: "It is your granddaughter, Red Riding Hood, and I bring you a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother." Now Little Red Riding Hood on hearing the Wolf's gruff voice was at first frightened, but thinking that her grandmother had a bad cold, she replied: Then he sprang upon the poor old lady and ate her up in less than no time, for he had been more than three days without food.Īfter that he shut the door, lay down in grandmother's bed, and waited for Little Red Riding Hood.
The Wolf drew the peg and the door flew open. The worthy grandmother was in bed, not being very well, and cried out to him: "Pull out the peg and the latch will fall." "It is your granddaughter, Red Riding Hood," said the Wolf, disguising his voice, "and I bring you a cake and a little pot of butter as a present from my mother." The Wolf was not long in reaching the grandmother's house.
As she went she amused herself by gathering nuts, running after the butterflies, and making nosegays of the wild flowers she found." The Wolf set off running with all his might by the shorter road, and the little girl continued on her way by the longer road. I will go by this path, and you by that path, and we will see who gets there first." "Well now," said the Wolf, "I think I shall go and see her too. "Oh yes," replied Little Red Riding Hood "it is yonder by the mill which you can see right below there, and it is the first house in the village." "Does she live far away?" asked the Wolf. "I am going to see my grandmother, and I am taking her a cake and a pot of butter which my mother has sent to her." The poor child, not knowing that it was dangerous to stop and listen to a wolf, said: He would have very much liked to eat her, but dared not to on account of some wood-cutters who were in the forest. On her way through a wood she met old Father Wolf. Red Riding Hood set off at once for the house of her grandmother, who lived in another village. Take her a cake and this little pot of butter." "Go and see how your grandmother is, for I have been told that she is ill. One day her mother, who had just baked some cakes, said to her: Her grandmother was even fonder, and made her a little red hood, which became her so well that everywhere she went by the name of Little Red Riding Hood. ONCE upon a time there was a little village girl, the prettiest that had ever been seen.
