A long time
ago, a child was born to a queen and king and she was called Snow
White. When the queen died, the king married again. This new
queen was wicked and hated Snow white. The queen gave orders
that Snow White was to be treated as a servant.
Snow White
grew very beautiful and one day a Prince riding by, saw her at work and fell
in love with her.
The queen
was beautiful too, and every day she asked her Magic Mirror, "Who is the
fairest in the land?" and the mirror always answered, "You are the
fairest one of all".
But one day
the mirror answered Snow White was the fairest in the land, and in a rage the
queen gave orders to one of her Huntsmen to take Snow White into the woods
and kill her.
The Huntsman
had a kind heart and couldn't do the deed so told her to run away. She
fled into the woods where Seven little dwarfs lived. Their house was
small and strange.

Snow White
entered the little house and finding it very untidy, started to clean
up. Upstairs she found seven little beds. She was very tired and
stretching out on one of the beds, was soon asleep.
When the
Dwarfs came home they were surprised
to find Snow White and after some argument, decided to let her stay.
She promised to cook and look after them.
The Queen
discovered where Snow White was living and disguising herself as a witch,
took a poisoned apple and set out for the Dwarfs cottage. She gave Snow
White the poisoned apple to eat and as soon as she bit the apple, she sank
into unconsciousness.
Thinking she was dead, the
Dwarfs built a glass coffin and put her in it. For days she lay in the forest
in her glass coffin. One day, the Prince was riding through the forest
looking for Snow White and found her. He leaned over and kissed
her. She opened her eyes and sat up with a smile. Everyone was
happy. The Prince took Snow White to his palace where they were married
and lived happily ever after.
