` You know me , then ! ' said she ; ` what is your name ? ' ` My name is friend Wolf . And where are you going thus , my pretty one , with your little basket on your arm ? ' ' I am going to my Grandmother , to take her a good piece of cake for her Sunday treat to-morrow . ' ` And where does she live , your Grandmother ? ' ` She lives at the other side of the wood , in the first house in the village , near the windmill , you know . ' ` Ah ! yes ! I know now , ' said the Wolf . ` Well , that 's just where I 'm going ; I shall get there before you , no doubt , with your little bits of legs , and I 'll tell her you 're coming to see her ; then she 'll wait for you . ' Thereupon the Wolf cuts across the wood , and in five minutes arrives at the Grandmother 's house . He knocks at the door : toc , toc . No answer . He knocks louder . Nobody . Then he stands up on end , puts his two fore-paws on the latch and the door opens . Not a soul in the house . The old woman had risen early to sell herbs in the town , and she had gone off in such haste that she had left her bed unmade , with her great night-cap on the pillow . ` Good ! '
said the Wolf XXXXX himself , ' I know what I 'll do . '
