Part 2: Snow White in Woods

Deeper and deeper into the darkening woods she ran.  Wolves were starting to howl.  She tripped and tore her skirt, but kept running.  Tall tree branches seemed to reach down to the very ground to grab her, but she kept running.  She was scratched, bleeding, and scared, but ran on till she could run no more.

All of a sudden, a light blinked far in the distance.  Who would live so deep in the woods?  She stepped up closer to the light.  It came from a cottage, yet no sound came from the cottage, only the flickering light from the windows.

“Hello?” she said, knocking softly on the door.  “Hello?” No answer.  The door was a little bit open.  She opened it some more and stepped in.  “Hello, is anyone home?”

She looked around.  What a mess!

“Maybe if I clean up around here,” she thought, “The ones who live here will let me stay here tonight.”

As she cleaned, she thought of someone.  Before her father married the Queen her stepmother, she and a Prince who lived in a nearby kingdom were spending time together.  When he visited, they would take walks in the royal garden, tell each other stories of life at court, and laugh at all the oddities that was the life they led.

However once her father re-married, the Stepmother made a new rule – no more visitors.  It wasn’t seemly, she said in a firm voice.  Now the Prince had to slip over the castle gate in secret. The Prince would call out to her from under her bedroom window and they could talk a bit that way. They had to keep their voices low so it wasn’t as good as walking in the royal garden, but it was the best they could manage.
