Luckily Little Red Riding Hood was still clutching<br />

<strong>the</strong> sewing basket. “Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r, I've brought your<br />

whole sewing basket! And some cakes and a little bottle<br />

of dandelion wine.”<br />

“First give me my sewing scissors!” said<br />

Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

Little Red Riding Hood felt around in <strong>the</strong> basket till<br />

she found <strong>the</strong> sewing scissors, <strong>the</strong>n handed <strong>the</strong>m to<br />

Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r, very carefully, so <strong>the</strong>y would not be<br />

dropped and lost in <strong>the</strong> dark.<br />

“Ah,” said Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r. “That was all I needed.”<br />

And snip, snip, snip, Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r cut a hole in <strong>the</strong><br />

Wolf's stomach; and she and Little Red Riding Hood<br />

jumped right out.<br />

“Now, old Wolf,” said Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r, “You just get<br />

out of my house!” Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r picked up <strong>the</strong> poker, and<br />

Little Red Riding Hood picked up <strong>the</strong> broom, and<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y chased <strong>the</strong> Wolf out <strong>the</strong> door and down <strong>the</strong><br />

path and across <strong>the</strong> field and into <strong>the</strong> river, and watched<br />

till <strong>the</strong> current had carried him out of sight.<br />

Then <strong>the</strong>y went back inside <strong>the</strong> cottage, and<br />

Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r washed <strong>the</strong> poker soot off her hands and<br />

made Little Red Riding Hood wash her hands too.<br />

“So that's that,” Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r said. “Now, what kind<br />

of cakes did you bring me?”<br />

CHEW THEIR FOOD WELL.<br />
