The moral of the story (according to Andrew Lang in his Blue Fairy Book): Children, especially attractive, well bred young ladies, should never talk to strangers, for if they should do so, they may well provide dinner for a wolf. I say "wolf," but there are various kinds of wolves. There are also those who are charming, quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue young women at home and in the streets. And unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all.

I was more familiar with the Grimm brothers' edition of this story where a Huntsmen rescued the little girl and her grandmother. That isn't the case in the Charles Perrault story.
