They shoved and jostled one another. One of them had even been beaten until his face was swollen—the seven bearded dwarf brothers.
"I told you this wouldn't work! Why sell giant mushrooms? Wouldn't selling giant bananas be better?"
"Big Brother, stop saying that. I'm already swollen... I'm never doing this again!"
"Serves you right!"
"What do we do now? We didn't abduct Snow White..."
"Anyway, our Witch Princess doesn't know, right...? Let's just pretend nothing happened?"

The seven bearded dwarf brothers exchanged glances. Then, as one family, they all pinched each other's cheeks and suddenly came to their senses.

"It really is Snow White!"
"We're rich!!"

"I'm afraid this isn't the consensus of Spring Country, but the intention of His Highness the Prince." The diplomatic minister spoke solemnly. "Because of what happened with the Eldest Princess... because of what happened with the Witch, the hatred between our two countries is nearly impossible to resolve.
