The huntsman drew off the wolf’s skin and went home with it; the grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine which Red-Cap had brought, and revived, but Red-Cap thought to herself: ‘As long as I live, I will never by myself leave the path, to run into the wood, when my mother has forbidden me to do so.’
Who acts: huntsman, grandmother, Red, I, myself, mother · What happens: draw off, go, eat, drink, bring, revive · To what, where: skin, cake, wine, Red, cap, path
