Little Thumb knocked at the door, and a woman, who opened it, asked him whai he wanted. He said : '■ I am a poor child, who kave lost myself in the forest, and (who) ask a lodging, if you please."

The good woman saw how ^ pretty he was and, beginning to weep, said to him : " Alas ! my husband is an ogre, who will eat you if he finds you hère. A wolf would hâve more ^ pity on you than he.^"

" If that is so," he answered, ail trembling, " wliat shall I do? If I must * be eaten, I prefer tliat your husband [shall] eat me. But perhaps you may^ hide me from-him^ till to-morrow."

Then she let him enter. There was a good fire in the room. As he was warming himself, he heard a loud knock at the door. " It is my husband returningj" cried the woman. Then she hid him under the bed and opened the door.
