Tullu opened the door a little wider while Bullu put a big pan of water on the fire.

After five minutes the wolf said, “You are so kind! Now if you opened your door a little more, I could warm my front legs too. Don’t worry! I’m harmless.”

The twins looked at the pan of water on the fire. The water was getting hot. They opened the door a little wider. Now just the wolf’s nose was outside the door.

After ten minutes the wolf said, “I feel so nice and warm! Only my nose is still cold. Kind rabbits, please open your door a little more. Don’t be scared of me. I’m harmless.”

Tullu opened the door a little wider while Bullu picked up the pan of boiling water. “You can warm your nose,” said Tullu.
