Once upon a time there lived a little girl name snow white. She lived with her
aunt and uncle because her parents were passed away. (ORIENTATION)
One day she heard her uncle talking about leaving her in the house because they
both wanted to go to U.S and don’t have enough money to take Snow White.
(MAJOR COMPLICATION)
Snow white didn’t want to be left behind. So she decided to run away. The next
morning she ran away into the woods. She was very tired and hungry. She has
walked for miles. (RESOLUTION)
Then she saw a little cottage. She knocked no one answered so she went inside
and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs, owner of the house, were coming home from work.
They went inside and met Snow White sleeping. (COMPLICATION)

snow White told the whole story. At the end, Snow White and the Dwarfs finally
lived happily ever after. (MAJOR RESOLUTION)
