    and they  didn’t have enough money to take Snow White.

    so she decided it would be 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.
    Complication 2  Then she saw this little cottage. She knocked but no one answered so
    she went  inside and fell asleep.
    Resolution 2  Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from
    work. They went inside. There they found Snow
    White sleeping. Then Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The
    dwarfs said, “what is your name?” Snow White said, “My name is  Snow
    White.”

    Doc, one of the dwarfs,  said, “If you wish, you may live here


    with us.”  Snow White said, “Oh could I? Thank you.” Then Snow
    White told the dwarfs the whole story and Snow White and the 7
    dwarfs lived happily ever after.
