little red riding-hood.

“Good-morning,” she said; but there was no answer. Then she got on the bed, and cried out: “Grandmother, what great ears you have!”
“The better to hear with, my dear,” he said.
“Grandmother, what great eyes you have!”
“The better to see you, my dear, the better to see you.”
“Grandmother, what great teeth you have!”
“The better to eat you up!”
The old wolf jumped out of bed, and Little Red Riding Hood, in the greatest terror, screamed as loud as she could.
Just then the door opened, and in came the grandmother and some woodmen who were passing. They were just in time to save Little Red-Riding-Hood from the old wolf.
