“Well, why not?” said the woman. “If you only knew how to call the flock; just let me hear?”

So, when she had gone a bit further, she met a wolf.

“Whither away, Goody?” asked the Wolf.

“Why not have me for a herdsman?” said the Wolf.

“Well, why not? if you can only call the flock; let me hear?” said she.

“UH, UH!” said the Wolf.
