Wicked Queen

At last the Queen could endure Snow White's presence no longer, and calling a huntsman to her, she said:
"Take Snow White out into the wood, and never let me see her face again. You must kill her, and bring me back her heart, that I may know for certain she is dead."
The Huntsman did as he was told and led Snow White out into the wood, but when he had drawn his knife, and was about to pierce Snow White's innocent heart, she began to weep, and said:
"Oh, dear Huntsman, spare my life, and I will promise to run away into the wide wood and never to return home again."
And because she was so young and pretty the Huntsman had pity on her, and said:
"Run away then, you poor child." For he thought to himself: "The wild beasts will soon eat her up."
And yet his heart felt lighter, because he hadn't had to do the deed himself.
And as he turned away a young boar came running past, so he stabbed it, and cut out its heart and took it home to the Queen as proof that Snow White was really dead. And the wicked Queen had it stewed with salt, and ate it, thinking she had made an end of Snow White for ever.
