On her way she had to pass through a wood, and there she met that sly old fellow, Mr Wolf, who felt that he should very much like to eat her up on the spot, but was afraid to do so, as there were woodcutters at hand in the forest.

Had he been asleep and woke up in time to see the robbers get in by the window, he would have called out at once for assistance."，"I hope they won't be too hard on me," she said slowly.
