SNOW WHITE
"Oh, dear huntsman, spare my life, and I'll run into the wild forest and never come home again."
"Oh, dear huntsman, spare my life, and I'll run into the wild forest and never come home again."
Since she was so beautiful, the huntsman took pity on her and said, "You're free to go, my poor child!" Then he thought, the wild beasts will soon eat you up. Nevertheless, he felt as if a great weight had been lifted off his mind, because he did not have to kill her. Just then a young boar came dashing by, and the huntsman stabbed it to death. He took out the lungs and liver and brought them to the queen as proof that the child was dead. The cook was ordered to boil them in salt, and the wicked [queen] ate them and thought that she had eaten Snow White's lungs and liver.
