The next morning, Snow White woke and saw the seven dwarfs. They

seemed quite friendly, so she told them how the queen had made her

leave the kingdom, and how she had run the whole day long, until at

last she had found their little house.

Then the dwarfs said, “If you will help us take care of the house, you

may stay with us. We will make sure you have everything you need.”

[Ask students whether or not the dwarfs were nice to Snow White.]

Every morning, the dwarfs went to the mountain to dig for gold. When

the dwarfs were away during the day, Snow White was alone in the

Beware of the queen, for she may find out you are here.”
