LITTLE SNOWDROP
nce upon a time at the window of a grand Palace
sat a Queen. Peeping in at the window were sweet-
scented roses, pure white, and crimson. “Oh†said the
Queen, as she gazed at them, “how |

her whose hair

and this little baby was named
Snowdrop. Sad to say the
Queen soon died, and after
a while the King married
again. His second wife was
very beautiful, but she was
unkind and vain and could
not bear to think that any-
body was as beautiful as she. A magic mirror hung in
her chamber, and before this every day she used to
stand and say—
“Mirror, tell°:me: true; am.-I not of fair the fairest >â€
and the mirror answered every day—
“Your beauty, Queen most fair, is of rare the rarest.â€
And so the Queen was made happy for many: years.
But Snowdrop grew up exquisitely lovely, much more
lovely than her stepmother, and when one day the Queen

asked her mirror the usual
question, the mirror replied
“Fair, but Snowdrop’s beauty is
of rare the rarest.â€
The Queen was dreadfully
jealous, she called a huntsman
and told him to take Snowdrop
into the forest and kill her. So the huntsman took poor
little Snowdrop but she begged so hard to be spared,
that he consented to let her go, if she would run away
and never go near the Palace again. Then he went
back to the Queen and she, thinking Snowdrop was
dead, was greatly delighted, and told him as a reward,
that he might chase the wild boar when he would, with-
out further permission.
Poor little Snowdrop was very
much frightened when she found
herself alone in the great big
forest. She ran on and on and
at last she came to a little house.
She knocked at the door but nobody came, so she went
in, and there she found a table on which were seven
plates and seven bowls of food, seven knives and forks
and seven glasses of wine. Snowdrop was very hungry
so she tried a little from all, but the seventh glass of
wine and the seventh bowl of food were most to her
taste, and those she emptied. Then
she went upstairs where she found
seven beds, and being tired lay
down on one of them and went to :
sleep. Now this little house belonged
to seven tiny men
and presently
they came home
from work. They
soon found that
some one had
been at their
food, and when
they went

the morning when ry
she had told her
story, they asked
if she would like
to keep house for them as they were away at work all
day, and Snowdrop was very glad to do so.
Meantime the wicked Queen went to her mirror and
asked the usual question, and the mirror -told her that
Snowdrop was the most beautiful
creature. So then the Queen knew
that she was still alive, and she
disguised herself as an old woman
and went out to search for her.
She wandered on till she came to
the little cottage, and there she showed Snowdrop lovely
ribbons and laces which she had to sell. Snowdrop
was charmed with the things and thought the old woman
very kind when she offered to comb her hair for her.
But the comb the Queen used was poisoned, and directly
she touched the little girl’s head, poor little Snowdrop
fell down dead. The little men were dreadfully sorry
when they came home, but they found the comb and
pulled it out, and then Snowdrop sat up quite well again.
They knew the old woman must be the wicked Queen
and told Snowdrop to be more careful.
