Snow White's Resilience

Say what you want about Snow White, that young woman had resilience. Consider: she had to cook, clean and do wash for seven men, plus listen to their complaints. Amazing she didn't have a breakdown.
They didn't even have an outhouse. She had to go in the forest and half the time she was interrupted by one of them, asking stupid questions, like where's my chisel?
She had no idea where she was geographically. Her memory flitted in and out. For all she knew, she could have been kidnapped by these little ruffians. A vision kept returning, that of a handsome prince she once knew. She would lie on her lumpy bed, close her eyes and think of him holding her. Sometimes she touched herself and it felt so good.
A big problem was one of the guys kept sneezing in her face. He never covered his mouth. Another was so grumpy he barely spoke to her. Still another was so dopey she had to tie his work shoes. Plus they kept singing off key as they marched off to work. Strangely, once they were gone, she felt lonely. One day she went for a walk and befriended a fawn. She named it Bambi. It looked very sad. She wondered what happened to its mother.
I won't get into the nightly attempted gropings. Let's just say the lady did what she had to to protect her purity. That may have included brass knuckles and kicks to their tiny groins. Boy, was she tough.
