*8 A Dark House

The dwarfs stepped（ /stept/ v. 踏；行走（step的过去式）） out of the mine.

Dar wiped（ /waɪpt/ vt. 擦（wipe的过去式）） his forehead（/ˈfɔːhed/ n. 前额）. "Whew（ /hwjuː/ 哟，噢）!"

Mar rubbed（ /rʌbd/ v. 擦（rub的过去式）） his belly（/ˈbeli/ n. 腹部；胃）.

"I hope Snow White made a hot dinner."

"Snow White is wonderful," Par said.

"Why was the queen so nasty（ /ˈnɑːsti/ adj. 极差的；恶心的；恶意的） to her?

I don't understand."

Gar bit his lip. "I never liked the new queen."

Zar nodded. "She's awful（ /ˈɔːfl/ adj. 可怕的；极坏的）."

"The worst," Yar said.

A tear fell from Star's eye.

Dar patted（ /ˈpætɪd/ v. 轻拍，pat的过去式） Star on the shoulder（ /ˈʃəʊldə/ n. 肩，肩膀）.

"Don't worry, Star.

Snow White is safe（/seɪf/ adj. 安全的） with us."

The dwarfs sang as they walked.

But when they got home, the house was dark.

"There's no fire（/ˈfaɪə/ n. 火）," Dar said.

Mar sniffed（/snɪft/ v. 吸气，sniff的过去式）. "I don't smell（/smel/ v. 嗅，闻） dinner."

"Uh-oh!" The dwarfs rushed（ /rʌʃt/ v. 奔；闯（rush的过去式）） into the house.

They gasped（/ɡɑːspt/ vi. 倒吸一口气）.

Snow White lay（ /leɪ/ v. 躺；位于（lie的过去式）） on the floor.

"She's not breathing（/ˈbriːðɪŋ/ v. 呼吸（breathe的现在分词））!" Par said.

"Get that coat off of her!" Gar said.

Zar and Yar ped（/rɪpt/ v. 撕；扯；剥，rip的过去式） （扯掉） the coat's buttons（ /ˈbʌtnz/ n. 纽扣（button的复数形式））.

Star yanked（ /jæŋkt/ vi. 猛地一拉，yank的过去式） at the sleeves（ /sliːvz/ n. 袖子（sleeve的复数形式））.

Snow White was free（ /friː/ adj. 自由的）!

She opened her eyes. "Oh!

I'm so happy to see you all!"

"What happened?" Dar asked.

Snow White told them about the old woman.

"It （一定（对过去的推测）） the queen!" Dar said.

Meanwhile the queen stood before（=in front of） her mirror.

"My Lady," the mirror said.

"Snow White is still alive（/əˈlaɪv/ adj. 活着的）—and still beautiful."

The queen screamed（ /skriːmd/ 尖声大叫（scream的过去式））.
