When last we read, Snowflake had entered the Forbidden Forest.....
the story was handed to Donna Christian:
 
"A distant familiar rumbling, Snowflake did hear.  Ah, but the sight
of that Raisin Tree, made Snowflake, too soon forget, the ...all too
familiar sounds of purring kitties, all black, sitting in a circle around
that Raisin Tree, so ripe with plump juicy raisins, just waiting for her
to come taste and delight in their sweetness.

raisins.  Just as Snowflake entered the circle, deep in her heart she
heard her mothers voice telling her, "Snowflake, never ever enter the
dark forest" Reason took over and Snowflake turned to run back out of the
dark forest.  But the circle of black kitties closed her in.  There was
no were to run.  The rumbling was so loud and getting louder and louder.
All those kitties had golden slits for eyes, and they looked so mean.
Snowflake was so scared and didn't know what to do!  But being a ferret,
