‘Here you behold Little Red Riding-Hood, a model of grand filial
devotion, for she was so fond of her granny that she wandered through
the forest to take the old lady”s luncheon, and was eaten by the wolf
for so doing, which is a warning to all children to be careful how
they do much for their grandmothers, unless they are rich and can leave
them something in their wills. This personage was an especial favorite
with children, who love to read about her, and shed tears over her
unhappy fate, although some of them think that had she been as smart
as her dress, she would have been too smart to have mistaken the wolf
for her grandmother, unless she had been a very homely old lady, or
he had been much better looking than most wolves.’
