Snow White

Once upon a time

A lovely queen gave birth to a beautiful baby girl

Called Snow-White

Sadly when Snow White was still very young

The queen died

After some time

The king remarried

But the new queen was wicked

And very jealous of Snow White

As the years passed

Snow White grew very beautiful

And a handsome prince

Who was riding past the castle saw Snow White

And immediately fell in love with her

But that only angered the queen more for the queen

Was beautiful as well

And everyday she would ask her magic mirror

“Mirror mirror on the wall

Who is the fairest of them all ”

“You are the fairest in the entire kingdom

My queen” replied the mirror

And she was satisfied

As she knew the mirror only spoke the truth

This was the way for many years

Until Snow White's 18th birthday

And when the queen asked her usual question

“Mirror mirror on the wall

Who is the fairest of them all ”

“You are fair my queen

Yet fairest still is Snow White

She is fairest of them all”

Replied the magic mirror

Green with envy

And spitting with rage

The evil queen could not bear

To look at Snow White any longer

So she ordered her huntsman

To take Snow White into the forest

And kill her

The very next day

When Snow White was on her morning

Walk through the forest

The huntsman was set to carry out his task

Just as he was about to kill her

Snow White looked into his eyes

And he knew he could not kill her

For she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen

Instead

The huntsman told Snow White

To run away and never to return

Snow White ran far into the forest

She ran until she was too tired to take another step

Alone and scared

She saw a little cottage and stopped to rest

Once inside

She saw that everything was perfectly clean and tidy

The tiny table was set with seven little plates

Seven little knives

Forks and spoons

And seven little mugs

There was seven neatly made beds all in a row

Snow White found food and water and she was so tired

That she laid on a little bed and fell asleep

The cottage belonged to seven dwarfs

And it was nightfall when they returned home

They marched in one by one

Whistling a happy tune

Their names were Happy

Bashful

Grumpy

Doc

Dopey

Sneezy and Sleepy

And everyday they would head into the mountains

To search for diamonds

“Oh

Heavens” they cried when they saw Snow White

Sleeping in one of their beds

“What a beautiful child ”

So the seven dwarfs squeezed into six beds

And let Snow White sleep

Until morning

Morning came

And Snow White explained the story to seven dwarfs

“Please

May stay here with you for a while ”

Asked Snow White

The seven dwarfs were all very sad for her

And agreed to let her stay as long as she liked

In return

Every morning

When they would go into the mountains

To search for diamonds

Snow White would clean the cottage

And cook them a hearty dinner

When they returned

One day

Happy that Snow White was gone

The evil queen went over to her magic mirror

And asked once again

“Mirror mirror on the wall

Who is the fairest of them all ”

“You are fair my queen

Yet fairest still is Snow White

She is fairest of them all”

Replied the magic mirror

The wicked queen could not believe her ears

And no matter how many times

She asked the question

The answer remained the same

“How can this be ”

Screamed the queen

When the wicked queen learnt that

The huntsman did not kill Snow White

She exploded in anger and vowed

To find Snow White and kill her

For many days

The queen searched for Snow White until one day

She found the little cottage in the forest

Disguised as a Snow Whiteeet old lady

She knocked softly on the door

Saying

“Lovely fresh fruits” “Lovely fresh fruits”

Snow White did not recognize her evil step-mother

And thought that the fruits

Would be very nice for the seven dwarfs

When they came home

So she opened the door

The evil queen insisted that Snow White

Try one of her lovely red apples

Oh

They looked so delicious

That Snow White couldn't resist

But the apple was full of poison

And Snow White fell to the floor

The evil queen laughed and ran from the forest

When the dwarfs returned

They were so upset to see their beautiful Snow White

Dead on the floor

That they gently laid her in a glass coffin

And sat with her night and day

But someone else was looking for Snow White

It was the handsome prince

Who had fallen in love with her

When the prince finally found her in her glass coffin

He would not believe that Snow White was dead

But that she would be awakened with true love's kiss

So the handsome prince bent to kiss her

As he did

Snow White slowly opened her eyes

And the prince lifted her into his arms

When the king learnt what the evil queen had done

He banished her from his kingdom for ever

Snow White and her handsome prince were married

And they all lived happily ever after
