Home on the Range The Disney Chronicles: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Into the Woods

Far away from the castle at the edge of the forest, the cows, horse, rabbit, and Snow White were enjoying themselves. There were a few clouds in the sky, but at least the sun was shining. Maggie, Mrs. Calloway, Grace, Buck, Lucky Jack, and Snow White enjoyed a great picnic, even the Huntsman was allowed to join. He wasn't that much hungry, but he took a sandwich that Lucky Jack made, which he found delicious. Maggie couldn't help but notice that something was on the Huntsman's mind. Sometimes, she asked if there was a problem, and the Huntsman answered 'no'. Maggie couldn't help but feel suspicious about him.

After the picnic, the cows, horse, and rabbit were 'chillaxing' like Buck would say while Grace and Snow White picked up some wildflowers from a glade near a river. Snow White sang a happy tune and Grace couldn't help but sing along. After Snow White met her prince, she couldn't help but smile every time she thought about him. Even Grace was happy for her. While the two talked about the Prince, Humbert the Huntsman stood next to his horse, watching over the Princess and her new friends. While our heroes were chillaxing, Maggie came closer to Mrs. Calloway for a conversation.

"Um, Mrs. Calloway?" she asked.

"Yes, Maggie?" the black cow asked.

"Can I talk to you privately?"

"Sure." The two walked over to a few trees, meeting face to face.

"Mrs. Calloway, I don't want to be rude. But don't you sense anything suspicious on Humbert?" Maggie asked.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Calloway asked.

"I think he's hiding something that he doesn't want us to know. I could see it on his face that something's troubling him. I even asked if there were any troubles in an attempt to help him, but he said there was nothing wrong. I'm telling you, Calloway, there's something not right and it makes me more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs," Maggie said.

"Are you sure you're not overreacting about Humbert? Sure, he may look gruff, but he seems like a very kind person, and he sounds like one, too. Besides, if Snow White trusts him, then so do I," Mrs. Calloway said.

"But are we sure that we should put our trust in a huntsman? I mean, what if he's going to hunt us?" Maggie asked.

"I know. When I heard that he hunts animals sometimes, I wasn't happy with that. And neither was Grace. But he's a very gentle person, according to Snow White. So we should at least give him a chance and know him better. Don't you think?" Mrs. Calloway said.

"Weeeell," Maggie thought. "I guess you're right. Maybe I'm overreacting a skosh."

Mrs. Calloway smiled at that. The two suddenly paid their attention to Snow White and Grace, who were picking wildflowers and talking to each other about certain things. Snow White wore a court dress, consisting of a dark blue bodice with a high white collar; her short puffy sleeves are a lighter blue color than her bodice and the red cloth poking through exemplifying the "slashing" design, which was very fashionable in Tudor times. It involved cutting the cloth on the outside of the outfit and pulling through another layer of cloth from underneath. The long and shapeless yellow skirt had a white petticoat and it flowed right down to her ankles with tan pumps decorated with yellow bows. She also wore a brown cape with a red interior. Snow White's short black hair was styled in a bob and parted in the middle. And she wore a red headband with a bow.

"Those two sure know how to amuse themselves. It's almost as if they were meant to be close friends," Maggie said.

"They sure are," Mrs. Calloway said with a smile.

While Maggie and Mrs. Calloway had a conversation, Snow White and Grace were picking wildflowers and talking about various things. Snow White talked about her life and her interests. Grace also spoke about her interests and her life in Patch of Heaven, even about the dangers she and her friends faced.
