As Dorothia neared the gingerbread house, she realized that it was quite short. She was tired and hungry, so she stooped through the doorway and entered the house. The sight that greeted her made her practically jump out of her skin. The house was surprisingly squeaky clean! Never in all her life had Dorothia seen such a clean dwelling. The floor was clean enough to eat off, the tables shined like mirrors, and not a mousetrap in sight! Then, Dorothia noticed the seven strange bowls of pudding arranged on the table. Unable to contain her famine any longer, Dorothia got to work. After eating what her stomach desired, Dorothia fell asleep on the comfiest of seven small chairs in front of a big-screen Television. Presently, a small off-tune humming became audible. The well-oiled door opened as seven stout men entered. Quickly, they noticed something was wrong. The floor was now covered with the remaining contents of their pudding bowls, which lay strewn across the table. Walking into the den, they came across the beautiful young maiden asleep in a chair.
