GRANDMOTHER

SCENE I.--_At Red Riding-Hood's Home_

_Mother._ Would you like to go to grandmother's to-day, my child? The
sun is bright and the air is warm and pleasant.

_Little Red Riding-Hood._ Yes, mother, you know I always like to visit
dear grandmamma.

_Mother._ Then you may go. You may carry your little basket, and I'll
put some honey and a jar of butter in it for grandma.

_Little Red Riding-Hood._ Oh, that will be a nice present for her! And
may I take her some flowers?

_Mother._ Yes, dear child. Gather some of those you like best.

_Little Red Riding-Hood._ Here they are, mother--roses and pansies!
Aren't they pretty?

_Mother._ Very pretty and sweet. Now put on your little red cloak and
take the basket. Be very careful as you pass through the wood, and go
directly to grandma's house.

_Little Red Riding-Hood._ Yes, dear mother. Nothing will harm me. All
the birds and animals love me and I love them.

_Mother._ Good-by, little daughter. Give me a kiss and take my love to
dear grandmother.

_Little Red Riding-Hood._ Good-by, mamma: good-by!

SCENE II.--_In the Wood_

_Little Red Riding-Hood (singing)._

You chase the little stars away
And shine away the moon.
I saw you go to sleep last night
Before I ceased my playing.
How did you get 'way over there,
And where have you been staying?

How pretty it is here in the wood! Oh, what a lovely
