She was grateful to have found the kind men. The next morning, she awoke feeling fresher and braver. She came downstairs and cooked a big breakfast. then stood by the door to see her new hosts off as they left for work.
"Have a good day, Grumpy," she said. "I'll have a gooseberry pie ready for you this evening."
Grumpy attempted a scowl, but Snow White could see the smile trying to sneak out. She was starting to realize he was not nearly as bad-tempered as he pretended to be.
Doc doffed his hat, solicitous as usual. "Now, Princess, be careful," he said. "The Queen is a tricky one."
"I know," said Snow White. "Don't you worry. I'll be just fine." In the clear light of morning, she could almost believe it.

day 4: the sidekick you wish you had
Snow White’s forest animals. To do all my housework so I can spend more time drawing.

After her new friends left, the forest animals gathered around her. Dottie and several blue jay friends perched on the windowsill, two deer peeked in through the doorway, a family of rabbits sat around the fireplace, and two squirrels sprawled atop the dining table.
Snow White inhaled. She wished she could revel in this cozy home, but she still had that uneasy feeling that she was not quite free from the Queen's wrath. "Well, there's no reason to tarry," she said, clapping her hands. "Let's get the washing and cooking done, and then I have some spells to practice."

So hum a merry tune
Finding the energy she was surprised she had left, Snow began gathering the dirty clothing and placing it in a basket to be washed. She cleaned all the dishes and swept the floor. She washed the dirty windows with a rag she found.

She delegated the dishes to the rabbits and the sweeping to the squirrels, then instructed the birds to forage for berries.

The only task she didn't trust the animals to do properly was baking, so she rolled out dough and assembled the gooseberry pie herself.

When everything was clean and the pie sat ready to bake, she collapsed into a chair, giving herself a few moments to sip a cup of tea.
