Chapter 24 Snow White

The old gypsy woman had not yet had her fill of this Magic Kingdom. The following day she happened upon a cottage. A strikingly beautiful woman welcomed her. "Welcome Good Woman. I am the Lady Snow White." Her voice fell upon the woman as softly as the snow she was named for.
"I am a Gypsy Queen out wandering."
"You are very welcome here. Please stay as long as you please. Please excuse me for not introducing you to the 7 kindly dwarves. I must get back to my work. You're sure to run into some of them. Their names are Grouchy, Active, Sloppy, Playful, Serious, Lazy and Outgoing."
"Aren't you too fine a lady to be working?"
Snow White chuckled softly, but not unkindly.
"Someone must look after the dear old men!" With that she wandered off to do her chores.
The old gypsy woman spent a good part of the day fishing. For company she had one of the dwarves who said very litte. She guessed he was Grouchy. In addition another guest joined them. An unusual woman by the name of Ehwah. Ehwah wears very little clothing, has a long tail and is a vibrant blue.
Late in the evening Snow White blackened some of the fish the dwarves caught and served it up for supper. She called dwarf and guest alike to join her as they wished.
The old gypsy surveyed the scene. She wasn't sure what was most beautiful in the moonlight: the garden, Snow White in her evening dress, or the 7 old men.
