Last night a prince came to our door and offered to buy Snow White. Can you believe it? What sort of monstrosity wants to buy a dead girl's corps? He begged and pleaded us to let him take it. He even offered us any sum of money we desired. We told him that we would not part with Snow White for all the riches in the world.

Then, he said he couldn't live without her and would cherish and prize her as his dearest possession. He looked so pitiful that my brothers took pity on him and allowed him to take the girl. I only let her go because it thought it would be good for all of us if she weren't so close by.
