13 In the evening, the dwarfs came home. They tried

to wake up Snow White, but poor Snow White didn’t wake up. The dwarfs were sad and decided to put Snow White in a glass box.

Colour the flowers.

One day a prince was in the forest. He saw the glass box and looked inside. He fell in love with Snow White. ‘Can I take her with me to the palace?’ asked the prince. ‘Yes,’ said the oldest dwarf. ‘You’re a prince and she’s a princess.

And you’re good and kind.’

The dwarfs began to carry the glass box.

But the glass box fell and broke. The piece of apple fell out of Snow White’s mouth. Snow White opened her eyes and saw the prince.
