Grimm's Fairy Stories, Little Red Cap, sentence 45
But it is also said that the story ends in a different manner; for that one day, when Red-Cap was taking some presents to her grandmother, a Wolf met her, and wanted to mislead her; but she went straight on, and told her grandmother that she had met a Wolf, who said good day, and who looked so hungrily out of his great eyes, as if he would have eaten her up had she not been on the high-road.
Who acts: story, Red, Wolf · What happens: say, end, take, meet, want, mislead · To what, where: gun, different manner, presents, grandmother, story, Wolf · Speech: someone speaks here
