Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Chapter 23

As the Prince's servants were carrying the coffin down the mountain side, they stumbled on the roots of a tree. The coffin was so badly jolted that the piece of apple, which had stuck in Snow White's throat, was flung out. She opened her eyes, lifted up the lid of the coffin and sat up. "Where am I?" she cried, in surprise.

The Prince was overjoyed to see her alive. He told her all that had happened and how he had fallen in love with her. "Come with me to my father's palace and we shall be married," he begged, and Snow White agreed.

She said goodbye to the dwarfs who had been so kind to her and had loved her so dearly. Although they were sad to lose her, they were content to know that she was alive and that she would be happy with the Prince.
