"I really feel quite happy." Snow White said now that the woodland creatures stayed nearby her. "I'm sure I'll get along somehow. Everything's going to be alright."
The animals all reassure her nodding yes.
Snow White realizes something and spoke up to her new companions. "But I do need a place to sleep at night."
She directed her speech first to the rabbits. "I can't sleep in the ground like you."
The rabbits agree by shaking no. Then Snow White speaks to the squirrels. "Or in a tree, the fashion you do." The squirrels also shaking agreeing with Snow White's point also saying no.
And lastly to the birds she said, "I'm sure no nest could be big enough for me. Perhaps you know where I can stay. In the woods somewhere?"
Upon hearing Snow White's words the birds chirped in agreement.
Snow White understood their body language and was able to get correct answers with her eyes not because she knew they could talk but because she was observant and very attentive. "You do? Will you take me there?"

And just like that, Snow White, led by the animals, set off into the woods. They pass by the banks of a small river, then over a hill towards a wall of trees. The squirrels and chipmunks bend them back to reveal a small clearing, hosting a small cottage across the same river she passed earlier. Snow White's eyes open wide at the sight of the beautiful house before them.
"Oh, it's adorable!" exclaims Snow White. "Just like a doll's house!"
Everyone goes over to the house after Snow White, who pauses on the bridge to take in the scenery. A second later, she gets to the front door
"I think I will like it here." Snow White informs her newly made animal friends from the forest. Snow White goes over to the window, which is very dirty. She wipes away some of the dirt and dust to look inside, but can hardly see anything in fact. One of the raccoons also wipes away some dirt, but cannot see much of anything inside either.
"Ooh," says Snow White. "It's dark inside."
Snow White knocks on the door of the cottage, but there is no response. She knocks again, but yet nothing. "Guess nobody's home."
She hears the sound of the door creaking.
"Hello?" She calls out. "May I come in?"
Nobody is there to respond. She slowly enters with the others following close behind.
The animals very carefully walk in through the door. They are unsure what to make of it, as apart from the sunlight streaming through the open door and window, the room is dimly lit. A wooden staircase, seemingly made of logs sawed in half, leads upstairs. Downstairs, there are barrels, mugs, pots and mining supplies, such as picks and shovels, among other things strewn about the room. Suddenly, Snow White gives a shout. "Oh!" when she seems something quite unexpected left behind in this house. Her shout surprises everyone, and causes some animals to run out the door!
"What a cute little chair!" Snow White exclaims admiring its make even being willing to test it for herself by sitting in it. As the other animals, some of which scrambled into various corners of the room, peer from their hiding places. A large table with seven more small chairs is littered with dirty dishes and pots, as well as a pick axe impaled in it.
Snow White immediately realizes something and forms a bigger picture in her head. "Why, there's seven little chairs. Must be seven little children. And from the look of this table, seven untidy little children!"
Snow White walks over to one side of the table toward the pick axe, where the bluebird family is roosted. She looks inside on of the pots. "And a shoe!"
The bluebirds wolf-whistle, both at the messy table. Later, Snow White goes over to a fireplace with an enormous soup pot in it, both of which are brimming with dust and cobwebs.
"And just look at that fireplace." declared Snow White. "It's covered with dust."
Snow White takes a deep breath and blows on the mantel, kicking up a cloud of dust. Two of the squirrels and one of the chipmunks sneeze at this, the third one's sending it into a German beer mug.
"And look cobwebs everywhere!" stated Snow White as she says this, a squirrel gets one stuck all over him.
"My, my, my!" She exclaims. "What a pile of dirty dishes." And then she sighed and huffed. "And just look at that broom." Scene pans to a broom lying in the corner, looking as though it hasn't been used in a VERY long time. The quail family clicks their tongues disgustedly at this.
"Why, they've never swept this room." guesses Snow White. "You'd think their mother would...... perhaps they have no mother." Mrs. Deer and her young fawn agree with Snow White shaking their heads now.
Snow White sighs sympathetically for these strangers after this new information she was made aware of came to her. "Then they're orphans. That's too bad!"
Junior nuzzles its mother, who licks it affectionately.
"I know." Snow White decrees. "We'll clean the house and surprise them. Then perhaps they'll let me stay." Snow White takes off her cape, and two of the birds hang it up.

"Now, you wash the dishes." Snow White gives out instructions to get the quaint cottage cleaned up with the help of the animals. "You tidy up the room. You clean the fireplace. And I'll use the broom."

The bluebirds whistle a military bugle call, and the cleaning process begins.
The animals start picking up the dishes.
Snow White sings to the exact pitch of the Bluebirds in the room with her. "🎵Just whistle while you work and cheerfully together, we can tidy up the place. Then hum a merry tune.🎵" as she hums, she sweeps the floor. "🎵It won't take long if there's a song to help you set the pace.🎵"
As Snow White sings the next verse, a squirrel is drying dishes with a towel on its tail. We later pan to the baby deer, who is licking each dish as it's handed to it. Snow White singing. "🎵And as you sweep the room, imagine that the broom is someone that you love and soon you'll find you're dancing to the tune."
Then, she notices the squirrels cleaning the dishes while a fawn uses its tongue to clean the dishes as the chipmunks are just shining them, and scolded them. "Oh! No, no, no. Put them in the tub." and she goes back to singing not getting too distracted from her sweeping task as the squirrel pile the dishes into the sink. "🎵If hearts are high, the time will fly, then whistle while you work."
Then two squirrels are off in a corner sweeping dust. One is lifting a rug, and the other is trying to sweep the dust under it. Snow White sees this and scolds these two. "Uh-uh-uh, not under the rug."

The squirrels sweep the dust into a hole, and wink at each other. Suddenly, dust comes flying out of the hole, and they duck under the rug. Then a mouse pokes its head out of the hole, and chitters as if to say "Why don't you watch where you're sweeping?" and he heads back inside.

Fade to Snow White dusting off a wooden organ. Two squirrels are sweeping under a German beer mug. One of them lifts it up, and suddenly, a music box activates and frightens them off. Later, a gray squirrel is sweeping the table with its tail. Snow White goes over to the window and shakes the excess dust off her rag. The squirrel tries that with his tail, and sneezes as a result. Another squirrel is collecting cobwebs with its tail. A chipmunk on top of a cuckoo clock tries the same, but falls off the clock and into a small stocking.

Another one is stringing up another web as a spider comes down and frightens it away. Meanwhile, the birds are gathering flowers in a vase, some of which have to be propped up. Later, a hummingbird pierces a pocket of water and it spills out over the flowers. Afterward, most of the chipmunks are carrying dirty clothes to the floor, one falling off after bumping into the handle of a pick. Snow White, yet humming, gathers the clothes and puts them on Mr. Deer.

Mr. Deer starts for the door just as a bird places a glove on his tail. He almost trips on the overalls dangling from his antlers before regaining his balance just as he is about to go out the other door. Outside, in a pond near the cottage, the raccoons are doing laundry. Mr. Deer gets there and shakes off the clothes on him. After he flings his tail, the glove lands on one of the raccoons, who frowns at him. In another corner, one of the chipmunks is scrubbing a shirt on the turtle's shell, which to him, tickles. Suddenly, two of the birds pull on the shirt. The chipmunk, along with Mr. Turtle, holding onto its tail, tries to pull it back, but the force knocks it into the latter's shell. Then the birds twist the shirt up, wring it and then tie it by the sleeves to a clothesline with some other wet clothes.
Snow White continues on singing. "🎵Then whistle while you work.🎵" and splits off in vocalizing the bluebird call for a bit.
