SNOW WHITE
Once upon a time there was a queen who gave
birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was the most beautiful baby anyone had ever
seen. Her hair was shiny black, her skin was glowing white, and her lips were
cherry red.
“Her
skin is as white as snow,” said the Queen. “I shall call her Snow White.”
Not
long after the Queen had given birth to Snow White, she felt ill and died.
A few
years later, the King met a beautiful woman and felt in love with her. He told
Snow White, “You’re going to have a mother!”
Not
long after, the King married the woman. She married the King because she wanted
to be a queen. She did not love the King at all. The queen had a magic mirror
in her room. But the King did not know that it was a magic mirror.
Every
morning, the Queen stood up in front of her mirror and said, “Mirror, mirror on
the wall, who is the most beautiful of all?”
“Who else but you, you’re Majesty. You look
more and more beautiful each day.” Replied the queen
“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
the Queen would laugh and walk away.
Many
years later, the King died. Snow White had grown up to be a beautiful young
lady. The Queen was jealous of Snow White’s beauty.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most
beautiful of all?” asked the queen. This time, the mirror kept quiet. “Tell
me!” shouted the Queen.
“It’s
Snow White, Your Majesty,” said the mirror.
The
Queen was very angry. She wanted to kill Snow White. The Queen said to
bodyguard, “John, I want you to kill Snow White tomorrow morning.”
The
next morning, John took Snow White to the forest. There, he told Snow White of
the Queen’s wicked plan. He also told her that he and everyone else loved her
very much.
“Run,”
he said, “and never returns to the castle again.”
Snow
White ran as fast as she could. Soon, she came to a small house. She knocked at
the door “Hello, hello any body home?” a little man opened the door. He was a
dwarf. He was very happy to see Snow White.
Meanwhile,
John returned to the castle and told the Queen that he had killed Snow White. “Mirror,
mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all?”
“It’s
Snow White, Your Majesty,” said the mirror. The Queen was furious.
“I
must kill Snow White,” she said. “Where is she?”
“She
lives in the forest with seven dwarfs, Your Majesty,” replied the mirror.
The
Queen prepared a poisoned apple and turned herself into an old woman. Then, she
went to look for Snow White in the forest.
When
see saw the dwarfs’ house, she knocked at the door. Snow White opened the door.
“Young
lady would you like to buy some apples?” asked the old woman. “Here, try this
one.”
The apple
looked delicious. Snow White took a bite. At once, Snow White fell to the
ground. She was dead. The old woman laughed loudly and returned to the castle.
The dwarfs
returned home and saw Snow White lying on the ground. Meanwhile, a prince who
was hunting heard the draws’ crying. He saw Snow White. She looked very
beautiful and the prince kissed her on the forehead. Snow White opened her eyes
and smiled at the handsome prince. “Thank you”
Snow
White soon fell in love with the prince and married him. They lived happily in
the prince’s castle, far, far from the wicked queen.
