Meanwhile, Snow White was growing from a baby into a lovely little girl. By the time she was seven, with her rosy cheeks and dark, dark hair against her snow white skin, she was even more beautiful than the Queen.

Thus it happened that one day, when the Queen asked her mirror,
"Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Among the ladies in this land,
Who is the fairest of them all?"

It replied,
"Among the grown-up ladies tall,
Thou, O Queen, art the fairest of all
Yet the truth I must speak
And so I do vow,
That the child Snow White is more
Lovely than thou.

When the Queen heard these words, she was both shocked and angry. She looked more closely at Snow White and could not fail to see her growing beauty. Each day, as she watched the girl, the Queen's anger and jealousy increased.
