Discovered.

A little girl, about years OF age,
generally got the name of Red Riding
Hood in the village where she lived,
because she wore a scarlet cloak
with a hood of the same color on
her head.
One day, when she had this cloak
and hood on, her mother sent her on
an errand to neighboring grocer.
The shopkeeper, thinking to tease
her, told her he wanted to ask her a
question, and that if she answered
him correctly she would receive a
siXpense.
Now, Red Riding Hood he said,
where's the wolf?'
At other end of the counter, sir"

She got the siXpense.
