The little girl and the wolf

One afternoon a big wolf waited in a dark forest for a little girl to come carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come. Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?, asked the wolf. The girl said yes, she was. So the wolf asked where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the woods. When the little girl opened the door of her grandmothers house she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap. When she approached the bed she saw that it was not her grandmother.
