The wolf ran to the house.
He knocked at the grandmother’s door, “Tap, tap, tap!”
No one came to the door.
He went into the house and looked all around.
The grandmother was not at home.
“Oh,” said the wolf, “I know what I will do!”
He put the grandmother’s cap on his head.
Then he lay down and covered himself with the bed-clothes.
By and by Little Red Riding Hood came to her grandmother’s house.
She knocked at the door,
“Tap, tap, tap!”
“Who is there?” said the wolf in a soft voice.
“It is I, Little Red Riding Hood.”
“Come in,” said the wolf.
“Good morning, Grandmother,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
“I have butter and a cake for you.
Mother put them in my basket.”
“Put down your basket and come here, my dear,” said the wolf.
Little Red Riding Hood went to the bed.
