Schneewittchen hütete nun Tag für Tag das Häuschen der Zwerge. Die Königin glaubte das Kind tot, fragte aber doch wieder den Spiegel, der aber antwortete: "Frau Königin, Ihr seid die Schönste hier, Aber Schneewittchen über den Bergen Bei den Sieben Zwergen Ist noch tausendmal schöner als Ihr!" Da ging sie verkleidet zu dem Häuschen, bot als Händlerin viele schöne Sachen an und gab dem Kind einen vergifteten Apfel. Als die Zwerge nach Hause kamen, war Schneewittchen tot. = Snow White kept house for the dwarfs day by day. The queen believed the child was dead, but nonetheless asked the mirror again, and the mirror answered: "O Queen, you are the most beautiful here, but Snow White over the mountains with the seven dwarfs is a thousand times more beautiful than you!" So the Queen went to the little house, disguised as a peddler offering many beautiful things to sell, and gave the child a poisoned apple. When the dwarfs returned home, Snow White was dead.
