named Snow White. She lived with her Aunt
and Uncle because her parents were dead.

Aunt talking about leaving Snow White in the
castle because they both wanted to go to
America and they didn’t have enough money
to take Snow White.

best if she ran away. The next morning she
ran away from home when her Aunt and Uncle
were having breakfast. She ran away into the
woods.

knocked but no one answered so she went
inside and fell asleep.
