Explanation

In the Grimm version of Snow White, the wicked queen makes three attempts to kill Snow White. First, she laces her corset stays tightly enough to make her faint. Second, she gives her a poisoned comb that makes her appear dead. Only the third attempt with the poisoned apple finally succeeds until the prince arrives. The dwarfs rescue Snow White from both the corset and the comb incidents.
