Snow White in the Woods
Buy this Art Print at AllPosters.com
Now when poor Snow White found herself alone in the big woods the very trees around her seemed to assume strange shapes, and she felt so frightened she didn't know what to do. Then she began to run over the sharp stones, and through the bramble bushes, and the wild beasts ran past her, but they did her no harm.
She ran as far as her legs would carry her, and as evening approached she saw a little cottage, and she stepped inside to rest. Everything was very small in the little cottage, but cleaner and neater than anything you can imagine.
In the middle of the room there stood a little table, covered with a white tablecloth, and seven little plates and forks and spoons and knives and mugs. Side by side against the wall there were seven little beds, covered with snow white counterpanes.
Snow White felt so hungry and so thirsty that she ate a bit of bread from each plate, and drank a drop of wine out of each mug.
Then feeling tired and sleepy she lay down on one of the little beds, but it wasn't comfortable. Then she tried all the others in turn, but one was too long, and another too short, until at last she found that the seventh one was just right, so she lay down upon it, said her prayers like a good child, and fell fast asleep.
