Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (11)

Back at the Castl, the huntsman had presented to the wicked Queen the box which, she thought, held Snow White's heart.

" Ah ha ! " she gloated.
" At last ! "

And down the castle corridors she hurried straight to her magic mirror.
Then she asked:

" Now, magic mirror on the wall,
 Who is the fairest one of all ? "

But the honest mirror replied:
" With the seven dwarfs will spend the night The fairest in the land, Snow White. "

Then the Queen realized that huntsman had tricked her.
She flung the jeweled box at the mirror, shattering the glass into a thousand pieces.

Then shaking with rage, the Queen hurried down to a dark cave below the palace where she worked her black magic.
