“Sweetest Tongue Has Sharpest Tooth”
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, never mind!
Now, as then, ‘tis simple truth, sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!
Charles Perrault (1697)
Based on the erotic nature of the original stories, a werewolf attempts to seduce a girl who has strayed from the path in the woods. Original painting.
