A child, tired of walking along a dusty road, discovers a small river and joyfully wades in it. She then enters a wood, feeling lost but not afraid, and determines to find a "House in the Wood" like those in her fairy tales, particularly a "Dwarf House." She eventually stumbles upon the house described in Chapter I, believing it to be the home of the Seven Dwarfs, and boldly enters.
