when she began to tell her strange story
was, How could you understand what the wolf said

Red Riding Hood had kind confdng heart. Being
good herself she looked for evil in Others and she
trusted the half blind old wolf once, and went to
her den, which she found to be clean cave in some
rocks There the poor child spent many peaceful hours
when her cruel stepmother would drive her from the
door with hard words.
About this time Red Riding Hoods father went upon
journey, and the young girl heard her steprnother

put out of the way before he should return. Very
much frightened, she stole away to her friend the
wolf, and begged that she might lie hidden in the den
