Hood to her mother, and gave her hand upon it.
Now the grandmother lived away in the wood, half an hour’s

had reached the wood, she met the wolf; but as she did
not know what a bad

She whips a pistol from her knickers.

No silly hood upon her head.
She said, “Hello, and do please note
“My lovely furry WOLFSKIN COAT.”
