About This Book

A young girl walks through a quiet forest to carry food to her ailing grandmother, encountering a sly wolf who learns her route and reaches the cottage first. The wolf conceals himself in the grandmother’s bed to trick and devour the household, but a hunter arrives, the predator is slain, and the child is spared and chastened. Lyrical natural details contrast with the wolf’s guile, and the closing lines deliver a clear moral urging obedience to parental guidance and vigilance against unseen evil.
