Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Chapter 15

So, once more the Queen began to plan how she might kill Snow White. First, she prepared a comb which was poisoned. Next, she disguised herself as a quite different pedlar-woman and filled her basket with new things to sell.

Again she travelled through the forest until she came to the dwarfs' cottage by the side of the mountain. She knocked on the door and shouted, "Cheap wares to sell! Pretty things to sell!"

Snow White put her head out of the window. "I dare not to let you come in," she said, "I have promised the dwarfs to open the door to no one."

"Never mind! You can look, can't you?" replied the Queen, holding up the dainty comb. It was so pretty that Snow White could not resist it and she opened the door to the pedlar-woman.
