7 Based on text evidence, which is the best inference
about the huntsman's motivations?
The huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to
himself: "How the old woman is snoring! I must just see
if she wants anything." So he went into the room, and
when he came to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying
in it. "Do I find you here, you old sinner!" said he. "I have
long sought you!" Then just as he was going to fire at him,
it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the
grandmother, and that she might still be saved, so he did
not fire.
