Snow White

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess called Snow White, who lived with her vain
stepmother. Every day the stepmother would ask her magic mirror, “Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the
fairest of them all?” As long as the mirror answered, “You fair Queen.” Snow White was safe from Queen’s
jealousy.
Unfortunately, one day the mirror answered, “Snow White”. The Queen sent her huntsman to kill
Snow White in the forest. However, he1 couldn’t do it and told Snow White to run far away. She2 ran into the
forest. She was very scared but the animals helped her and they took her to a small house. The house was the
home of the seven dwarfs. When they3 saw Snow White they were very happy, so she stayed with them to
look after their house.
One morning, after the dwarfs had gone to work, the Queen came to the house. She was disguised as
an old woman, so Snow White did not recognize her. Snow White talked to her and ate the red apple, which
the Queen gave her. However, it was poisonous and soon Snow White into a deep, deep sleep.
The animals saw what happened and went to get the dwarfs. The dwarfs found the Queen and chased
her up the mountain. She4 was so frightened that she fell of the mountain and died.
The dwarfs put the sleeping Snow White in a glass box and sat beside her. Eventually, a prince heard
about her and came to see her. He kissed the beautiful girl, Snow White, and she5 immediately woke up. They
all lived happily ever after.
