They fill the wolf’s body with stones, and when he tries to flee, the stones cause him to collapse and die. Little Red and her grandmother emerge unharmed. In later versions, a woodcutter comes to the rescue and cuts open the wolf. In Perrault’s version, the tale ends here.
She says, “What a deep voice you have!” (“The better to greet you with”, responds the wolf), “Goodness, what big eyes you have!” (“The better to see you with”), “What big hands you have!” (“The better to hug you with”), and lastly, “What a big mouth you have” (“The better to eat you with!”), at which point the wolf jumps out and eats her.
When the girl arrives, she notices that her grandmother looks strange. In the meantime, the wolf goes to the grandmother’s house and swallows her whole, then waits for the girl in disguise. She tells him, and he suggests that she pick some flowers, which she does. Little Red Riding Hood is walking through the woods to visit her grandmother when a wolf approaches and asks where she’s going.
