    wolves could not catch up to her but she was miles away from her aunt's house yet. After one hour she came in sight of her aunt's house. In she ran and the two wolves after her. When they could not get in the door they climbed up on the roof and they were falling in through the roof just when two men arrived with guns. They shot all the wolves and built up the house for the old woman and they left the little girl at home also.
