Charles Perrault: Herring

“When she had done her work, she would go over to the chimney corner, and sit among the cinders.”

Charles Perrault

Tales of Mother Goose, 1727, "Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper"

“She said to her, "Grandmother, what great arms you have!"
"That's to embrace you the better, my child."
"Grandmother, what great legs you have!"
"That's to run the better, my child."
"Grandmother, what great ears you have!"
"That's to hear the better, my child."
"Grandmother, what great teeth you have!"
"That's for to eat you."
And upon saying these words, this naughty Wolf threw himself upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her.”
