Snow White running deeper and deeper into the slightly enchanted forest to get far away from her vengeful stepmother as she can.

Charlie Brown [voice over]: Deeper and deeper into the forest, Snow White, fill with fear, that even of the very leaves on the trees, and she did not know what to do for fright. Then she began to run over the sharp stones and through the thorn bushes...

Snow White look terrified as the wild animals ran past her but did her no harm.  Afterward, the horrified princess continued to run.

Charlie Brown [voice over] : And the wild animals ran past her, but they didn't do her no harm. She ran and ran and ran and ran as far as her legs could carry her until...

Snow White tripped over a rock and fell down. As she on the ground she began to cry bitterly over the fact that her stepmother wishes her dead just because she's more beautiful than her.

Charlie Brown [voice over]: Snow White is now alone, homeless, and lost in the forest.

Snow White: I'm now alone, homeless, and lost in the forest.

Charlie Brown [voice over]: That what I just said. Ahem, anyway, poor Snow White alone in a clearing. Crying her heart out over the realization of the situation. But she knew extremely well that until her father come back, she cannot return home.

As Snow White weeps Woodstock and his friends saw her crying and feel sorry for her.

Snow White shed tears to the people she'll miss at the moment. First her father King Gordon, then her nursemaid Frieda, then her Fiancé Prince Pierre, then Peppermint Patty and Marcie who help her escape, and finally in a ironic way she even shed a tear for her stepmother who she pity her envy over her.

She dry her eyes and stood up as "I Dreamed a Dream" is playing and Woodstock and his friends watched as she about to sing about the good times she had.

Snow White [singing]:
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
And they turn your dreams to shame

[Woodstock flew on a tree branch and played a violin as Snow White concluded her number.]

And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed

The song ended and Woodstock flew on her shoulder. Snow White quickly recognized the bird she helped earlier and felt slightly better.

Snow White: Hello there.

Woodstock: whistling hello

Snow White: That was some slick violin work there. Maybe you might know a place that I can stay until my father returns?

Woodstock and the others nodded "yes".

Snow White: You do? Lead the way.

Snow White followed Woodstock and his friends to the place they mentioned. After a good hour, Snow White discovered a cottage with a doghouse on the side. She is pleased that her bird friends returned the kindness from earlier.

Snow White: Wow! It's like a human sized dollhouse. But, it'll do for now.

She walked towards the front door and knocked on it. After knocking a few times, Snow White figures that the owner or owners are not home at the moment.

Snow White: I guess no one home at the moment.

Snow White opened the door and to her shocking surprise the house is a mess.

Snow White: Oh my goodness, what a filthy mess this place is. And by the look at the table it must've belonged to seven untidy people and a dog. Hmm.... I know, I'll tidy up the place for them and hopefully they'll let me stay until Father returns.

Snow White put on a apron and started getting to work tidy up the place with the help of Woodstock and his friends.

Snow White: Well, no time like the present. Let's get cracking.

As Snow White and her bird friends start cleaning, the former sings "Peggy Lee's I'm a Woman" while tidying up the place.

Snow White:
I can wash out forty four pairs of socks and have 'em hangin' out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozens shirts 'fore you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can rub and scrub til this old house is shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, and powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing 'til four A.M. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin' you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I got a twenty dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you

'Cause I'm a woman! A W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all
