The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. She looked into the glass and said,Tell me, glass upon the wall, Who is most beautiful of allThe glass said, The Queen is most beautiful of all.
Then the Queen knew that Snow-white was dead.
The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried.
Then they put Snow-white inabox made of glass. They took the glass box toahill and put it there, and said, Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was.

Bird, Mouse and Loaf (Part I)
Once there andaLoaf. They lived inalittle house. The house was nearaforest. There wasagarden at the front of the house full of pretty flowers. There were flowers in the window, andalittle tree on each side of the door.
The Bird, the Mouse, and the Loaf did all the work of the house. Each day the bird went to the forest and brought wood. The mouse brought water from the river and made the house clean. The loaf was the cook; she cooked the food and made bread. They were all very happy.

You do more work than the others, said Mr. Magpie. It is not just that you should do more than the others do.
The house is not far from the forest, said the bird.
But on some days you have to go twice, said Mr. Magpie.
That is so, said the bird; and he was angry that he should have to do more work than the others.

Bird, Mouse and Loaf (Part II)
So, on the day after that, Mrs. Loaf went out to bring wood from the forest; Mr. Mouse went to cook the food; and Mr. Bird went to get water from the river.
Mr. Bird took the pot with his foot, and went out to get the water. He came to the river, and put the pot in the water. When the pot was full of water, he took it with one foot; but the pot was too big. Then he took it with the other foot, but the pot fell. Then he got another pot, and brought the water.
Mr. Mouse went to cook the food. He put the pot on the fire, but he put his foot in the fire. The fire burned his foot, and he cried. But he made the food ready. Mr. Bird came back from the river. Mr. Mouse was angry because he had burned his foot; Mr. Bird was angry because the pot had fallen. And Mrs. Loaf had not come back from the forest.
Mr. Mouse said, Shall we wait for Mrs. Loaf Or shall we eat our food nowWe will waitalittle, said Mr. Bird.
They waited for an hour; Mrs. Loaf did not come. Then Mr. Bird said,Iwill go to the forest and get the wood, and tell Mrs. Loaf to come home.
So Mr. Bird went down the lane to the forest. He saw some bits of wood in the lane, but he could not see Mrs. Loaf. She was not in the forest; she was not in the lane. Then he sawawolf sitting near the bits of wood.
Mr. Bird asked, Mr. Wolf, have you seen Mrs. Loaf todayMr. Wolf said, That is Mrs. Loafs wood.

She is inside me, said Mr. Wolf;Ihave eaten her up.
Then you areabad wolf! said Mr. Bird. Mrs. Loaf wasavery good cook-and now you have eaten her!
Mrs. Loaf should not go to the forest, said the wolf. Loaves should stay in the house. Go away, orIshall eat you too.
Mr. Bird took the wood and went home: he was crying. Mr. Mouse cried too when he heard that Mrs. Loaf was dead.
Then Mr. Mouse said,Icannot eat today. But will you have your food nowIwill go and get it ready.
The pot wasabig pot; Mr. Mouse wasalittle mouse. He could not take the pot down from the fire: he fell into the pot and was killed.

I just called to sayIlove you;I just called to say how muchIcare;

No Libra sun, no Halloween,No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring,But what it is, tho old, so new,To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.
AndImean it from the bottom of my heart.
