BL3BL. MMm •&i>£ - . ; ' M.l History of the Dwarfs K JsD now you know that the little house in r\ the woods where Snow White took refuge did not belong to seven orphan children at all. It belonged to the Seven Dwarfs. Seven very old and very tiny men they were. So old that'they couldn't remember their ages exactly, since they celebrated their bii thdaj s only twice each century. &o small that they could march into a room under an ordinal y dining-room table without bumping a single bald head. No wonder Snow White felt like a giantess in their little house! These seven tiny men were all of their kind left in a land which once contained a whole race of dwarfs, with a Dwarf King who ruled with a miniature government. But the rest o them had gone away, leaving only the seven brothers, whose names you have already heau , Happy, , Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy and Doc. Xiceianu. iu dwarfs at all, but ordinary sized people. But in Iceland, where the winters are six months long and the sun is always pale and cold, men discovered gold and gems deep down in the earth. Deeper and deeper they dug, and as they dug deeper they found that it grew warmer. , . Therefore, as time passed, these men stayed underground more and more to escape the intense /cold. They built cities down there, heated and lighted by the flames of their torches And because there was no sunflhine underneath the earth to make them grow, this race of mining men grew smaller and smaller until, after manv centuries they became little nicn 110 taller than children. The world called them "dwarfs." AS the dwarfs increased in numbers, the A slipply Of gold and gems grew smaller. X So the time came when many of the little men were forced to seek homes in other lands. Thousands of little sailing boats re built on Iceland's shores. One summer they sailed away, and the dwarfs who manned them scattered to the four corners of the eaith. Those who sailed southward found the Seven 'Jewelled Hills of Snow White's native laiid. \vere .at sea -and -it was .night, »but -when I THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD j j Presents Exclusively I j The only full story, with original j I drawings, of the film that has i j made history. I they saw the hills glittering in the moonlight they knew that gold and gems were buried in them! But there was no shore on which to beach their boats, only mountains and cliffs falling sheer into the ocean. Suddenly a strong current reached the boats. The dwarfs knew it came from a river rushing into the sea. They fought the current with oars and sails, and finally reached a river which flowed into the sea through a great hole in a mountain-side —an underground river. Tlfc dwarfs punted their boats through a long, inkblack tunnel. For weeks they did not see daylight. ONE day the river broadened until it formed a little lake. The dwarfs lit torches and saw that they were in a huge underground cavern, the walls of which 'weie solid with gold and rare stones. They were inside the first of the Seven Jewelled Hills! They drove a tunnel through the hill and came out into beautiful forest. This new country was warm and sunny, so they settled there and lived and worked unmolested. Each year at Christmas they nfade a trip to a near by village, taking with them gems and gold to exchange for cloth and groceries. THEN they would steal away in the middle of the night so that no one would know their secret path into the Seven Jewelled v 4tm t if'Q 'mkfm mm Published by arrangement with Hills. For many years there was no 'danger of anyone following them. Who but the tiny dwarfs were brave enough to go through the Forest of Fear? But when the greedy Queen Grimhilde came to reign, all this was changed. She decreed that the dwarfs should be driven out of the Seven Jewelled Hills, so that their jewels and gold might pour into her already over-flowing coffers. One Christmas Eve, when the dwarfs were making their annual visit, they heard of the Queen's decree. They went back to the hills immediately, launched their little boats, heavily ballasted with precious jewels, and sailed away down the underground river. All sailed away but the seven brothers, who lived apart from them in the quaint little house in the hills. This story might never have been written if they had not stayed behind. Seven Little Men THE Seven Dwarfs had always lived apart from the rest of the dwarfs by their own choice. For one thing, they preferred to live in a pleasant cottage in the woods, venturing underground only during working hours. But they had many other excellent personal reasons for being hermits. Grumpy hated women, and was for ever quarrelling with the Dwarf King s wife. His idea of paradise was a place where there were no women. Doe was offended because lie had never been chosen King. He thought himself worthy of some important executive post, so he contented himself with being the self-appointed head of the Seven Dwarfs. and copyright by Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Ltd.

He was always afraid people would ca£bh cold from him. But his eternal sneezing did not seem to be' contagious to his six brothers. Dopey was a backward boy. In fact, he was a couple of hundred years backward. He was always underfoot and a constant nuisance to the busy dwarfs. SO it was better for everyone that the Seven Dwarfs lived alone. They had never even accompanied the dwarf band to the village. In fact, when the time came for the ships to leave for Iceland, nobody remembered to ask them to go with them. One day, when they went to the mine, expecting to lind it humming with activity as usual, they found the caverns and tunnels deserted. The place was full of echoes, and empty save for the mournful bleating of a few mule deer that the dwarfs had left behind. It took the seven brothers some time to figure out what had happened. Doc called a conference under the great oak tree which was their meeting-place for the discussion of important affairs. But presently the warm air and the fragrance and stillness of the woods brought such peace that they all fell into a gentle doze. WHEN" they awoke, Doc called the meeting to order. "Something torrible—er, herrible — something awful happened," he said. "What was it, anyway?" Sleepy woke and stretched. "It seems," he yawned, "that all the others have went." They immediately set about building a big boat. But when it was completed they had used fo jnuch silver .and gold that the boat was far too heavy for them to launch. They hitched up the mule deer and finally managed to get the boat into the water; but it was so crusted with gold that it sank straight to the bottom of the underground river. AS it disappeared, all seven dwarfs gave a r\ sigh of relief. They hadn't the least idea ■"*- how to sail a boat, and they didn't know where Iceland was 1 m All in all, it seemed far wiser for them to > stay where they were. What if the Queen had ordered them out of the country? Sleepy; claimed that he for one was too brave to leavo now. 'The truth was that Sleepy was- too lazy* The dwarfs found that they were safe justi as long as they kept away from the village.: The Queen had threatened that if she ever caught a dwarf in the kingdom again, she would change him into a chessman. Therefore, much as the dwarfs yearned for crackers and cheese,sardines and other delicacies, they found it wiser to stay away from the village and live on the provisions they had, which consisted mainly of dry porridge. EACH day these funny little fellows marched off to the mines. If you had asked them what they intended ito do with their caverns of heaped-up treasure, they would have scratched their bald heads and answered: "We dunno. We never thought of that." ... Yet they worked hard from dawn till dark, Each day at sunset they dropped their gold nuggets and diamonds and rubies, locked the mine, hanging the key on the door in full sight, and started for home. To keep their minds off the horrid porridgai they would have to eat when they arrived, they; always sang all the way there. And it was their Homecoming Song which awakened the birds and animals and sent them scurrying out of ths house, while Snow White slept on and on. : NEXT SATURDAY— A Monster in the House— The Thing in the Bedroom. bft? 1 The Dwarfs discovered gold and gems deep down in the earth*
