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
