Read this sentence from the text:

"Now, you and I have guessed by this time, although poor Red Riding-Hood never even thought of such a thing, that it was not her Grannie at all, but the wicked Wolf, who had hurried to the cottage and put on Grannie's nightcap and popped into her bed, to pretend that he was Grannie herself."

• to convince the reader that Red Riding-Hood was not very smart

• to help the reader understand the Wolf's point of view in the story

• to make the reader wonder where Red Riding-Hood's actual Grannie is
