Red Riding Hood puts the flowers in a jug of water . Grandma eats the cake and drinks the wine . Little by little , she feels better . She is not so weak now . She looks at the flowers and smiles . “ Are you better , Grandma ? ” asks Red Riding Hood . “ Yes , my dear . Your mother’s cake is very good , ” says Grandma . Red Riding Hood looks at her and thinks : “ I am never going to leave the path on my own again . I am never going to run off into the wood again . Mum tells me not to , and she is right . ” VIII . The Other Wolf The days go by . Grandma is not ill now . She is strong again , and she can work in her house . People say that one day Red Riding Hood takes some cakes to Grandma again . Her mother makes some small cakes and puts them in the girl’s apron . “ Here you are , my dear , ” says her mother . “ They are for Grandma . And you know : always stay on the path . ” “ I know , Mum , ” says Red Riding Hood . In the wood , another wolf comes out onto the path . He is an old grey wolf with a very bad look in his eyes . He talks to the girl . He wants her to leave the path . “ Good morning , Red Riding Hood , ” says the wolf . “ Why don’t you look at the flowers ? There are some very pretty ones over there . Come with me . ” Red Riding Hood thinks : “ Another wolf . I know very well what he wants . ” She does not look at the flowers . She does not leave the path . She does not say a word . The wolf walks behind her for a while . “ Why are you walking so fast ? Wait a little , ” he says . But there are people on the path , so the wolf does nothing more . Red Riding Hood goes straight on , step by step , to Grandma’s house . There she tells Grandma everything . “ Grandma , I met a wolf on the path , ” she says . “ He said good morning to me , but he had a very bad look in his eyes . There were people on the path , so he did nothing . But I am sure he wanted to eat me . ” “ Then let’s lock the door , ” says Grandma . “ Then he cannot come in . ” They lock the door . A little later , the wolf knocks . Knock , knock . “ Open the door , Grandma , ” says the wolf . “ It is me , Red Riding Hood . I have got some cakes for you . ” But Grandma and the girl say nothing . They do not open the door . They both wait and stay very quiet . The wolf waits a little . Then he walks around the house . He walks around it again , and one more time . In the end , he jumps up onto the roof . “ I can wait here , ” thinks the wolf . “ In the evening , the girl goes home . I can walk behind her very quietly . And in the dark wood , I can eat her . ” But Grandma knows very well what the wolf is thinking . “ Where is the wolf now ? ” asks Red Riding Hood in a quiet voice .
