Little Redcap was all this time running about among the flowers, and when she had gathered as many as she could hold; she remembered her grandmother, and set off to go to her. She was surprised to find the door standing wide open, and when she came inside she felt very strange and thought to herself:
"Oh, dear, how uncomfortable I feel, and I was so glad this morning to go to my grandmother!"
And when she said "Good morning!" there was no answer. Then she went up to the bed and drew back the curtains; there lay the grandmother with her cap pulled over her eyes, so that she looked very odd.
"Oh, grandmother, what large ears you have got!"
"The better to hear you with."
"Oh, grandmother, what great eyes you have got!"
"The better to see you with."
"Oh, grandmother, what large hands you have got!"
"The better to take hold of you with, my dear."
"But, grandmother, what a terrible large mouth you have got!"
