Meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmother’s house and knocked at the door.

She was surprised to find the cottage-door standing open, and when she went into the room, she had such a strange feeling that she said to herself: ‘Oh dear! how uneasy I feel today, and at other times I like being with grandmother so much.’ She called out: ‘Good morning,’ but received no answer; so she went to the bed and drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother with her cap pulled far over her face, and looking very strange.

Whither away so early, Little Red-Cap?

It also related that once when Red-Cap was again taking cakes to the old grandmother, another wolf spoke to her, and tried to entice her from the path.

When the wolf had appeased his appetite, he lay down again in the bed, fell asleep and began to snore very loud.
