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 —
nevermind!
Now, as then, ‘tis simple truth —
Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!
-Charles Perrault
