"Behind the door The Mill you'll find, But snow, the Mill Will never grind. We'll gather snow, And still more snow, Then roll it down To cool Below." "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed the Chief Dwarf. "We have snow enough here to put out a dozen fires. Come, brothers, let us roll the snowball Below!" "Heave ho! Heave ho!" cried the other six dwarfs. In the twinkling of an eye, the seven little dwarfs had rolled the snowball through an entrance in the side of the hill. Down, down, the snowball rolled, until it reached the place where the fires burned. Then sizzle, sizzle, came the hot steam pouring out of the entrance. All this time the Poor Brother had stood watching the seven dwarfs, and saying not a word. But suddenly he thought, "If I do not go Below at once, there will be no fire left to boil my ham." So the Poor Brother groped his way through the steam and the smoke, and at last he found his way into the home of the seven dwarfs. |
