She ran as long as her feet would
go, until it was evening; then she saw
a little cottage and went into it to
rest herself. Everything in the cot
tage was small, bat neater and clean
er than could be told. There was a
table on which was a white cover, and
7 little plates and on each plate a lit
tle spoon; moreover there were 7 lit
. tie knives and forks and 7 little mugs.
Against the wall stood 7 little beds
side by side and covered with snow
white counterpanes. Little Snow White
was so hungry and thirsty that she
ate some vegetables and bread from
each plate and drank a drop of wine
from each mug, for she did not wish
to take all from one, only. Then as
she was so tired she laid herself down
on one of the little beds, but none of
them suited her.
