So I've run away into the forest and I've found a little cottage where seven dwarves live and I'm now living with them. My stepmother wants to kill me because according to a magic mirror, I'm more beautiful than she is. How can I save myself?

I try to find a way to make myself less "beautiful," but I have no idea what the mirror's beauty criteria are, so it's kind of difficult. I mean, I don't want to look ugly. Maybe if I stopped wearing powder on my face and bright red lipstick? I try that, but of course I have no way of knowing if that solved the problem.

A strange old woman shows up on my doorstep, trying to sell me an apple. I prefer green apples, so I try to take one of those -- but no, she wants me to take the Red Delicious. The whole situation is very suspicious, so I shut the door in her face and turn the key. Then I close and lock the windows and light a fire in the chimney and begin cooking dinner for my friends the dwarves.
