The good grandmother , who was in bed , because she was somewhat ill , cried out : `` Pull the bobbin , and the latch will go up . '' The Wolf pulled the bobbin , and the door opened , and then presently he fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a moment , for it was above three days that he had not touched a bit . He then shut the door and went into the grandmother 's bed , expecting Little Red Riding-Hood , who came some time afterward and knocked at the door -- tap , tap . `` Who 's there ? '' Little Red Riding-Hood , hearing the big voice of the Wolf , was at first afraid ; but believing her grandmother had got a cold and was hoarse , answered : '' 'T is your grandchild , Little Red Riding-Hood , who has brought you a custard and a little pot of butter mamma sends you . '' The Wolf cried out to her , softening his voice as much as he could : `` Pull the bobbin , and the latch will go up . '' Little Red Riding-Hood pulled the bobbin , and the door opened . The Wolf , seeing her come in , said to her , hiding himself under the bed-clothes : `` Put the custard and the little pot of butter upon the stool , and come and lie down with me . '' Little Red Riding-Hood undressed herself and went into bed , where , being greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her night-clothes , she said to her : `` Grandmamma , what great arms you have got ! '' `` That is the better to hug thee , my dear . '' `` Grandmamma , what great legs you have got ! '' `` That is to run the better , my child . '' `` Grandmamma , what great ears you have got ! '' `` That is to hear the better , my child . '' `` Grandmamma , what great eyes you have got ! '' `` It is to see the better , my child . '' `` Grandmamma , what great teeth you have got ! '' `` That is to eat thee up . '' And , saying these words , this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding-Hood , and ate her all up . THE SLEEPING BEAUTY IN THE WOOD There were formerly a king and a queen , who were so sorry that they had no children ; so sorry that it can not be expressed .
They went to all the waters in the world ; vows , pilgrimages , all ways were tried , and all XXXXX no purpose .
