Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Chapter 6

Everything inside the cottage was small and neat and clean. A white cloth was spread on the table. The table was laid with seven little plates, seven little knives, forks and spoons. And seven little glasses, all set out in proper order. Against the wall stood seven little beds, each neatly made up and covered with a white bedspread.

Snow White was both hungry and thirsty but she did not want to take anyone's supper. So she ate a little of the food from each plate and drank a mouthful of wine from each glass.

Then Snow White was so tired that she longed to sleep. She lay down on the first bed but somehow she could not make herself comfortable. She tried the other little beds but each one seemed too long or too short, too hard or too soft. None suited her until she came to the last one, which felt just right. Soon she was fast asleep.
