Moral da estória

Picture from Gustave Doré

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, Guy, or charming never mind! Now, as then, ‘tis simple truth— Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth !
