Once upon a time, there lived a lovely princess named Snow White. Her mother died when she was a baby and her father married again. The new Queen was very pretty, but very cruel. The Queen wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the kingdom and she would often ask her magic , “Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who is the of them all?” The magic mirror would say, “You are, Your Majesty!” One day, the mirror replied, “Snow White is the fairest of them all!” The Queen was very angry and jealous of Snow White. The Queen ordered her to take Snow White to the forest and kill her. But the huntsman was kind. When he reached the forest with Snow White, he told her to run away and never return. The huntsman went back to the Queen and told her Snow White was dead. Snow White was alive, but she was lost and alone in the woods. She hadn’t been deep in the forest before. She wandered and wandered and was very afraid. Finally, she discovered a cottage. No one was home but she decided to go inside. She found a cozy bed and fell fast asleep. While she slept, the seven dwarfs, who owned the cottage, returned. They were surprised to find Snow White in their home! Snow White told them her story, and they invited her to stay with them. She helped take care of the dwarfs and they were very happy together. Back at the palace, the wicked Queen asked, “Mirror! Mirror on the Who is the fairest of them all.” The mirror replied, “Snow White is the fairest of them all! She lives with seven dwarfs in the forest!” The Queen was furious! She mixed a poisonous potion and dipped a shiny red apple into it. She disguised herself as a peasant woman and went to the woods with the apple to find Snow White. When she arrived at the cottage, Snow White didn’t recognize her. The Queen offered the poison apple to Snow White. Snow White took a bite of the apple and fell into a deep sleep. The Queen went back to the palace and asked the mirror, “Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror replied, “You are, Your Majesty!” She was very happy. The seven dwarfs came home to find Snow White lying on the floor. They were so sad! They built a glass coffin for Snow White and placed it in front of the cottage. One day, passed by and saw Snow White in the coffin. He said, “She is so beautiful! I would like to kiss her!” And he did. Snow White opened her eyes! She was alive! The Prince and the seven dwarfs were very happy. Prince Charming married Snow White and they lived happily ever after.
