RED RIDING-HOOD'S WOLF

Ruth McEnery Stuart

Oh, this is the wolf that Red Riding-hood found When she came to her grandmother's bed, Her ears were so long and her eyes big and round, While her voice had a strange and a terrible sound

When she answered what Riding-hood said, For alas, the grandmother was dead. And Little Red Riding-hood sprang with a bound Through the doorway and hastily fled,

Oh, my, In terror she hastily fled.
