So what you do is you soften it a little bit

You make it a story that's a little more engaging where the protagonist is someone who is like the kid, a naive young child who's wandering through the forest alone.

Exactly the kind of person who would be prey to a wolf.

And then you describe what the wolf is like by describing the antagonist.

When she goes to meet her grandmother, who's the wolf, of course, dressed in sheep's clothing or whatever.

Spoiler alert if you have not read Little Red Riding Hood.

The grandma doesn't make it.

The grandma doesn't make it.

She's not there.

You know, he says, what big arms do you have?

And she says, well, all the better to hug you with.

Of course, wolves and canines in particular use their front hind legs to grasp prey, which is a little different actually than how like big cats.

Yeah, big cats will jump and they'll go straight for the jugular with their teeth.

Wolves do more of like a grasping thing and bite at the legs and they don't really bite at the jugular immediately in the same way that big cats do.

And she says, what big legs you have.

And of course, she says, all the better to run with.

Wolves are, of course, very fast, right?

What big ears and eyes you have.

And she says, all the better to see you with and hear you with.

Well, wolves are great trackers, right?
