Introduction

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a beautiful queen. One cold day, while she was sitting near the window, she said, “I wish I had a daughter as white as snow, red as rose, and black as ebony.”

Birth of Snow White

One day, the wish of the queen came true, and she gave birth to a beautiful daughter. The baby girl had very white skin, rosy red cheeks, and black hair. They named her Snow White. But sadly, the queen became very ill and soon passed away.

As Snow White grew up, she became the prettiest and kindest girl in the world, loved by everyone. When Snow White was a little girl, her dad married another lady who was pretty but...

...a witch, and didn’t like anyone to be as pretty as her. Every day, the queen asked the magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?” And the mirror always said, “You are the fairest of them all.”

But as the years went by, Snow White became even more beautiful. During the spring season, Snow White's father went on a long trip to visit the neighboring land, leaving the kingdom in the care of the queen. A few months after the king left, the queen asked the mirror again, “Who's the fairest of them all?” And it said, “You are fair, but Snow White is even fairer than you.”

The queen felt jealous when she heard that. The queen ordered a hunter to take Snow White to the forest and bring back her heart as proof. The hunter led Snow White into the woods but couldn’t harm her.

Snow White begged, “Please don’t hurt me. Let me go into the forest, and I promise I won’t come back.” The kind hunter agreed and brought the queen a deer's heart, but when she found out it was a deer’s heart, she killed him.

Snow White in the Forest

Snow White became very tired from walking all day, crossing rocks and thorny bushes. Luckily, before it got dark, she found a tiny house. Everything in the house was small and extremely messy. She cleaned the house, had some soup, and went to bed.

The house belonged to seven dwarfs. They came back from work and found their house very neat and clean, and they found Snow White sleeping in the bed. That night, Snow White was frightened when she woke up and saw the seven dwarfs looking at her. She told her story, and the dwarfs felt sorry for her and said she could stay if she helped them with housework. Snow White agreed, and they all lived happily together.

Every day, before going to work, the dwarfs warned her to be careful: “Do not let anyone in. Your wicked stepmother will surely discover where you are and come looking for you.”

One morning, the queen asked the magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?” And the mirror said, “Snow White is the pretty one,” and displayed Snow White in the tiny home. The wicked queen shook with rage, but Snow White remained safe.

Evil Queen in the Forest

The wicked queen made a poisoned apple that looked half white and half rosy red, and it appeared very delicious. The queen disguised herself as an old woman, went to the house of the seven dwarfs, and knocked on the door.

The old woman said, “I just want to sell you some apples. Here, try one.” She offered the poisoned apple, but Snow White refused, saying, “No, I can’t.”

The old woman laughed and suggested, “Are you afraid I might poison you? Look, I’ll cut the apple in two. You take the rosy red half, and I’ll take the white.” However, Snow White didn’t know that the red half was poisoned. Snow White took a bite and fell into a deep sleep.

When the dwarfs came home that night, they found Snow White lying on the floor. They tried to wake her up, but it was no use. This made them sad. Not knowing what to do, they made a glass coffin and placed her in it. For a long time, Snow White lay in the coffin, yet her beauty did not fade.

After coming back to the palace, the queen asked the magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?” And the mirror said, “You are the fairest.”

Prince in the Forest

One day, a prince rode by the forest and saw the coffin. Snow White looked so lovely that he fell in love with her. He opened the coffin and gave her a hug. A piece of the poisonous apple she ate came out of her throat, and she woke up. The prince was so happy.

The prince took Snow White to his castle, and they had a big, happy wedding. Snow White's father came back from his trip and heard the whole story about Snow White. He was so disappointed with the mean queen’s actions that he sent her far away from the kingdom, and no one saw her ever again.

Conclusion

The king, Snow White, and the prince all lived happily ever after.
