Letty was afraid to enter.
“It might be the den of a wolf!” she thought. “I wish I could see inside!”
“Come, little doggy,” she said, “let’s look in.” They peered into the darkness and, suddenly, everything seemed light; for the little dog’s eyes were so bright that they made the cave as light as a lamp would.
Letty had no sooner lain down on a pile of dry leaves in the corner of the cave than she heard the growl of a wild animal.
My, she was frightened! She and the little dog ran to the mouth of the cave, and they saw a big wolf not ten feet away.
And what do you think happened that time?
As soon as the little dog looked into the wolf’s eyes with his own bright shining eyes the wolf was so scared that he ran away as fast as he could scamper.
Then Letty and the little dog ate their supper and went to sleep.
Letty was dreaming of how lovely it would be to have her little sister play with her like other children, when she was awakened by a sweet voice. “Little Letty,” it said, “you have found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!”
Letty sat up. There before her stood a beautiful lady.
