and Uncle because her parents were dead.

One day she heard
her Uncle and Aunt talking about leaving Snow White in
the castle because they both wanted to go to
America and they didn’t have enough money to take Snow White.

Snow White did not want
her Uncle and Aunt to do this so she decided
it would be best if she ran away. The next
morning she ran away from home when her Aunt and
Uncle were having breakfast. She ran away into the
woods.

Then she
saw this little cottage. She knocked but no one answered
so she went inside and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the
seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went
inside. There they found Snow White sleeping. Then
Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs.
The dwarfs said, “what is your name?” Snow White said,
“My name is Snow White.”
Doc, one of the
dwarfs, said, “If you wish, you may live here
with us.” Snow White said, “Oh could I? Thank you.” Then
Snow White told the dwarfs the whole story and Snow
White and the 7 dwarfs lived happily ever after.
