Little girls, this seems to say,
Never stop upon your way, 
Never trust a stranger-friend; 
No one knows how it will end. 
As you’re pretty so be wise; 
Wolves may lurk in every guise. 
Handsome they may be, and kind, 
Gay, and charming - never mind! 
Now, as then, ‘tis simple truth - 
Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!
- ‘Red Riding Hood’ Charles Perrault
