she cries , ` wait a bit ! ' Quickly she opens her sack wide across the door , and the maddened Wolf springs in head downwards . It is he now that is caught , swallowed like a letter in the post . For the brave old dame shuts her sack , so ; and she runs and empties it in the well , where the vagabond , still howling , tumbles in and is drowned . ` Ah , scoundrel ! you thought you would crunch my little grandchild ! Well , to-morrow we will make her a muff of your skin , and you yourself shall be crunched , for we will give your carcass to the dogs . ' Thereupon the Grandmother hastened to dress poor Blanchette , who was still trembling with fear in the bed . ` Well , ' she said to her , ` without my little hood where would you be now , darling ? ' And , to restore heart and legs to the child , she made her eat a good piece of her cake , and drink a good draught of wine , after which she took her by the hand and led her back to the house . And then , who was it who scolded her when she knew all that had happened ? It was the mother . But Blanchette promised over and over again that she would never more stop to listen to a Wolf , so that at last the mother forgave her . And Blanchette , the Little Golden-hood , kept her word . And in fine weather she may still be seen in the fields with her pretty little hood , the colour of the sun . But to see her you must rise early . -LRB- 17 -RRB- -LRB- 17 -RRB- Ch . Marelles THE GOLDEN BRANCH ONCE upon a time there was a King who was so morose and disagreeable that he was feared by all his subjects , and with good reason , as for the most trifling offences he would have their heads cut off . This King Grumpy , as he was called , had one son , who was as different from his father as he could possibly be . No prince equalled him in cleverness and kindness of heart , but unfortunately he was most terribly ugly .
He had crooked XXXXX and squinting eyes , a large mouth all on one side , and a hunchback .
