Snow White

In a faraway land, there was a king and queen. They had a beautiful baby girl

She had beautiful black hair and snow white skin

So the queen called her Snow White

She loved her daughter very much

Then one day the queen died

Snow White was two years old

The king married again. His new wife was beautiful, but she was also very cruel

The new queen had a magic mirror

Every day she stood in front of the mirror and asked

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the most beautiful of all?

The mirror always answered

You my queen you are the most beautiful of all

Every year Snow White became more beautiful. She was also kind and good

Everybody in the palace loved her

The queen was not interested in Snow White because Snow White was not her daughter

Then one day the queen asked the mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the most beautiful of all?

And this time the mirror answered

You are beautiful. It is true, but Snow White is more beautiful than you

The queen was very angry

Snow White must die

She said the queen called for the hunter

Take Snow White into the forest and kill her

She said and she gave the hunter a bag of gold coins

The hunter took Snow White into the forest

But he couldn't kill her

You can't go back to the palace

He said to her, the queen wants to kill you. You must stay in the forest

Then he left Snow White in the forest

To kill the deer

He took the deer's heart to the palace and gave it to the queen

This is Snow White's heart

He said

The queen was happy

Snow White is dead

Now I am the most beautiful of all

She said

Snow White walked further into the forest. It was very dark and she was very frightened

She wanted to go home

Then she saw a house

She went and knocked on the door

Nobody answered so she opened the door and went inside

Everything in the house was very small

There were seven small cups and seven small plates

There were seven small forks and seven small spoons

And there were seven small loaves of bread

Snow White was very hungry so she ate some bread

Then Snow White was tired so she went upstairs and

Upstairs there were seven little beds

Snow White laid down and went to sleep

Seven dwarfs lived in the house that night they came home. They found Snow White

She was still asleep on the beds. They were very surprised

Who is she?

What is she doing here?

They asked

Suddenly Snow White woke up

Don't be frightened

Said the dwarfs

Snow White wasn't frightened

She told the dwarfs about the cruel Queen

You can't go home

Said the dwarfs

You must stay here with us

The next morning the dwarfs went to work before they went they said to Snow White

Stay in the house and don't open the door

Said Snow White

Palace the Queen was happy. She went to her mirror and asked

Mirror and mirror on the wall. Who is the most beautiful of all?

And this time the mirror answered

You are beautiful. It is true

But there is a girl more beautiful than you

Snow White isn't dead. She lives in a house with seven beds

The Queen was very angry

A house with seven beds

I know that house. The hunter didn't kill Snow White

She is at the house of the seven dwarves. I must go there and kill her

The Queen went to the garden and got some red apples. She poisoned an apple

Then she put all the apples into a basket. She dressed in the clothes of an old woman

Then she went to the dwarf's house

The Queen knocked on the door

Red apples lovely red apples. Would you like some lovely red apples?

She called

Snow White didn't want to open the door, but she wanted to buy some apples for the dwarves

She opened the window and called to the old woman

The old woman said

Don't be frightened

Come and taste this fall

So Snow White went outside. She took the poison apple and began to eat it

It's delicious

She said

Then she fell to the ground

Queen laughed and left

She said that night the seven dwarves came home. They found Snow White on the ground

Said the youngest or

Maybe she's not dead. Maybe she's sleeping. Said another dwarf

They made a glass box for her

She can lie in this box and we can come and see her every day

Said the eldest dwarf. They were all very sad

A few days later a prince found the glass box and he saw Snow White

He opened the glass box and picked her up

She can't stay here. I must take her to the palace with me. He thought

The piece of poisoned apple fell out of her mouth

Snow White opened her eyes and she saw the handsome prince. They sat and talked

The dwarves came home from work. They found Snow White with a prince

They were very happy because Snow White was alive and well. I

Want to take her to the palace said the prince and I want to marry her

Snow White and the dwarves were very happy on Snow White's wedding day the Queen stood in front of the magic mirror and asked

Mirror mirror on the wall. Who is the most beautiful of all?

And this time the mirror answered

You are beautiful. It is true, but there is a girl more beautiful than you

To you the secret I must tell

Snow White is alive and well

The Queen was very angry. She broke the mirror

It was the magic mirror that made her beautiful

So when the mirror broke the Queen became old and ugly

That day she left the palace and no one ever saw her again

Snow White married the prince. They lived together happily and the seven dwarves often visited Snow White at the palace
