Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Chapter 8

Next the dwarfs noticed that their beds were not as neat as when they had left them. The first dwarf looked at his bed and cried, "Who has been lying in my bed?"

Then each of the other dwarfs, in turn, looked at his own bed and cried, "Who has been lying in my bed?"

But when the seventh little dwarf reached his bed, he found Snow White there, fast asleep. "Look who's in my bed!" He called to the others and they all came running to see.

They lifted their candlesticks high, as they stood around the bed, gazing at Snow White. "What a beautiful child!" They exclaimed.

As the dwarfs were anxious not to waken the lovely child who slept so soundly, they tiptoed away and ate their suppers very quietly. Then when bedtime came, the seventh little dwarf spent an hour in the bed of each of the other dwarfs, in turn, and so the night passed.
