`` 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 to no purpose . At last , however , the Queen had a daughter . There was a very fine christening ; and the Princess had for her god-mothers all the fairies they could find in the whole kingdom -LRB- they found seven -RRB- , that every one of them might give her a gift , as was the custom of fairies in those days . By this means the Princess had all the perfections imaginable . After the ceremonies of the christening were over , all the company returned to the King 's palace , where was prepared a great feast for the fairies . There was placed before every one of them a magnificent cover with a case of massive gold , wherein were a spoon , knife , and fork , all of pure gold set with diamonds and rubies . But as they were all sitting down at table they saw come into the hall a very old fairy , whom they had not invited , because it was above fifty years since she had been out of a certain tower , and she was believed to be either dead or enchanted . The King ordered her a cover , but could not furnish her with a case of gold as the others , because they had only seven made for the seven fairies . The old Fairy fancied she was slighted , and muttered some threats between her teeth .
One of the young fairies who sat by her overheard how she grumbled ; and , judging XXXXX she might give the little Princess some unlucky gift , went , as soon as they rose from table , and hid herself behind the hangings , that she might speak last , and repair , as much as she could , the evil which the old Fairy might intend .
