The Little Girl and the Wolf

(by James Thurber 1894-1961.)

One afternoon a big wolf waits in a dark forest for things to happen. As he smells plums in the air, a little girl comes along carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. She goes along the road happily whistling. “Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?” asks the wolf. The little girl says yes, she is. So the wolf asks her if she loves her grandmother and also where her grandmother lives and the little girl tells him and he disappears into the wood.

When the little girl opens the door of her grandmother's house she sees that there is somebody in bed with a nightcap and nightgown on. She approaches no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she sees that it is not her grandmother but the wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look any more like your grandmother than the Metro-Goldwyn lion __ that roars __ looks like Calvin Coolidge. So the little girl grabs an automatic out of her basket, breathes softly, and shoots the wolf dead. Moral: Old fashion judgement sometimes fails because it is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be.
