Meanwhile, at the cottage Snow White kissed the seven elves goodbye as they left to go to work at the tollgate.
Soon after the elves left, Queen Grimhilde reached the cottage exhausted and panting.
"Oh, boy!" she gasped. "Who would have thought that the seven elves' cottage was so far from the castle? I should have called a taxi. Well, time to take care of that little brat, once and for all!"
The Queen then approached the elves' cottage, and peered her head in through the kitchen window, and saw Snow White making pies.
"Hello, dearie. Making pies I see," said the Queen cunningly.
Snow White looked up and saw Queen Grimhilde in her ugly witch disguise, took one look at the hag, and…screamed bloody murder.
"Ahhhhhhhhh! A horrible, ugly, old witch!" she screamed.
Snow White then slammed the window and shutters closed in Queen Grimhilde's face.
"Hmm, ain't as easy as I thought this was going to be," said the Queen.
Inside, Snow White quickly dashed all over the tiny house, closing and locking every door and window. Outside, Queen Grimhilde walked around the house, looking for another way in.
"Ah, here we go," she cackled with glee, as she discovered the storm doors leading to the cellar were left open. She headed down into the dark and musty basement, and then started up the wooden stairs to the first floor. Hearing the witch's footsteps coming up the cellar steps, Snow White desperately tried to lock the basement door, but the lock was stuck open. So, she grabbed a nearby vase of flowers, and stood next to the door.
The Queen opened the door and peered around the room.
"Yoohoo! Dearie," she called. "Would you like to try a nice, juicy…"
But before the Queen could finish her sentence, Snow White crept up behind her and smashed the vase of flowers over the witch's head.
"Ooh, what's that loud ringing noise I hear…" said Queen Grimhilde, and she fell to the floor unconscious. As she fell to the ground, the poisoned pear fell out of her hands and rolled to the floor. Spotting the fresh pear, Snow White exclaimed, "Oh, a pear!"
She then grabbed the fruit and took a bite. She began to feel woozy and then collapsed to the floor, as the sleeping death took effect.
Four hours later, Queen Grimhilde came to and regained consciousness.
"Oh boy, do I need a cup of joe," she groaned, standing to her feet.
She then looked down and saw Snow White lying on the floor, with the poisoned pear next to her with a bite taken out of it.
She jumped for joy and fiendishly cackled with glee, "I did it! I did it! I don't know how I did it, but I did it! Now I'll be the fairest in the land!"
The Queen then hurried back to her castle, mixed up another potion, and turned herself back to her original, beautiful queeny self.
Now confidently, she entered the castle's kitchen, and asked, "All right, magic toaster machine, am I now still the cutest queen." Hearing no reply, she asked again loudly, "I said, magic toaster machine, am I now still the cutest queen."
But again no reply.
Enraged, she walked over to where her magic toaster usually sat, and shouted, "I said…"
But as she rounded the kitchen counter, she looked down at the floor, and remembered that in her fit of fury, she smashed it to pieces.
"No!" she cried. "No! No! It's not fair! Just because I'm evil doesn't mean I deserve this. Now how will I ever know if I'm the fairest and cutest in the land?"
She desperately tried to fix it, but it always short-circuited or exploded. Queen Grimhilde would never again find out if she was the fairest in the land.
