Snowdrop , who dwells with the seven little men , Is as fair as you , as fair again . ' When she heard this she became as pale as death , because she saw at once that Snowdrop must be alive again . ` This time , ' she said to herself , ' I will think of something that will make an end of her once and for all . ' And by the witchcraft which she understood so well she made a poisonous comb ; then she dressed herself up and assumed the form of another old woman . So she went over the seven hills till she reached the house of the seven Dwarfs , and knocking at the door she called out : ` Fine wares for sale . ' Snowdrop looked out of the window and said : ` You must go away , for I may not let anyone in . ' ` But surely you are not forbidden to look out ? ' said the old woman , and she held up the poisonous comb for her to see . It pleased the girl so much that she let herself be taken in , and opened the door . When they had settled their bargain the old woman said : ` Now I 'll comb your hair properly for you , for once in the way . ' Poor Snowdrop thought no evil , but hardly had the comb touched her hair than the poison worked and she fell down unconscious . ` Now , my fine lady , you 're really done for this time , ' said the wicked woman , and she made her way home as fast as she could . Fortunately it was now near evening , and the seven Dwarfs returned home . When they saw Snowdrop lying dead on the ground , they at once suspected that her wicked step-mother had been at work again ; so they searched till they found the poisonous comb , and the moment they pulled it out of her head Snowdrop came to herself again , and told them what had happened . Then they warned her once more to be on her guard , and to open the door to no one . As soon as the Queen got home she went straight to her mirror , and asked : ` Mirror , mirror , hanging there , Who in all the land 's most fair ? ' and it replied as before : ` My Lady Queen , you are fair , 't is true , But Snowdrop is fairer far than you . Snowdrop , who dwells with the seven little men , Is as fair as you , as fair again . ' When she heard these words she literally trembled and shook with rage . ` Snowdrop shall die , ' she cried ; ` yes , though it cost me my own life . '
Then she went to a little secret chamber , which no one knew XXXXX but herself , and there she made a poisonous apple .
