Toward evening, when Snow 'fhite
and Rose Red were returning from
their walk, they happened across
cleared space upon a rock where the
dwarf had dumped his whole sack of
precious stones. The dwarf was not
there and the stones sparkled SO beau
tlfully in the rays of the setting sun
that the two girls paused To admire
them. All at once, however, the
dwarf clambered over the crest of
hill and came running toward them,
shaking his fist
You wicked, thieving girls he
cried. Get away from nv fine Jew.
els His face was red with rage
and he would have struck them had
he been large enough. Just ther an
enormous black bear came bounding
out Of the wood, and upon seeing him.
the dwarf Shrieked in his anger: Eat
them, eat them, They are wicked
girls and will make you a tender
morsel,'
But instead Of eating the girls, the
bear struck the dwarf terrible blow
and he never rose again. Then the
bears black. shaggy coat fell from
him and A beautiful young prince
stood there.
Here is the handsome prince. Color
his hair yellow. his coat dark green
and his hose light green
