'Making nosegays of the wild flowers'
The worthy grandmother was in bed, not being very well, and cried out to him:
'Pull out the peg and the latch will fall.'
The Wolf drew out the peg and the door flew open. 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.
After that he shut the door, lay down in the grandmother's bed, and waited for Little Red Riding Hood.
Presently she came and knocked. Toc Toc.
'Who is there?'
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:
'It is your little daughter, Red Riding Hood, and I bring you a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother.'
