Narration.
THE WOLF IN THE HOUSE.
The wolf did not know now what to do. Presently he thought, “I will go to the baker.” So to the baker he went and said, “I have hurt my feet; put some dough on them.” The baker felt sorry for the wolf and put some dough on his feet.
Then the wolf ran to the miller and in a rough voice said, “Strew some white flour on my feet.” The miller, thinking the naughty wolf was going to deceive some one, did not want to do it. But the wolf said, “If you do not do so at once, I will eat you.” This made the miller afraid. So he powdered the wolf’s feet with flour.
This done, the wolf went a third time to the door of the house and said softly, “Open the door for me, dear children. It is your mother. I have come back and brought each one of you something nice to eat.”
