Snow White
Snow White
A long time ago, there lived a beautiful princess who had smooth and white skin named Snow White.
Her mother died when she was a child and now her father married again. The new queen was very
pretty but she was so mean to Snow White.
The queen dreamt to be the most beautiful lady in the kingdom. She would often ask her magic mirror,
“Mirror, mirror on the wall! Who is the most beautiful one in this kingdom?” And the magic mirror
would say, “You are, Your Majesty!”
One day, the mirror changed its answer, “Your daughter, Snow White, is the most beautiful one in this
kingdom.” The queen envied for Snow White’s beauty. So she decided to order the huntsman to take
Snow White to the forest and kill her. “I want you to bring me her heart,” ordered her. When the
huntsman reached the forest, however, he took pity on Snow White and set her free. He convinced the
queen that he had killed Snow White by bringing a deer’s heart and told her it was her heart.
Deep in the forest, Snow White wandered all night to find a safe place. The next morning, she finally
found a tiny cottage and went inside. There was nobody there. She only saw seven plates on the table
and seven tiny beds in the bedroom. Then she went to the kitchen and cooked a delightful meal. She
also cleaned the entire house. As she grew tired, she fell asleep on one of the tiny beds.
In the afternoon, the seven dwarfs who lived in the cottage came home. They were surprised to find a
girl was sleeping on the bed. Snow White woke up and told them her whole story. The dwarfs had great
sympathy for her and asked her to stay with them. They loved and cared for her very much, so they told
her to not open the door to strangers when they were away.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the queen asked her mirror and she knew that Snow White was still alive and
lived with the seven dwarfs in the forests. She was so furious and decided to make a magic potion that
would put Snow White into deep sleep forever. Then she dipped a red shiny apple into the poisonous
potion.
One morning, the wicked queen disguised herself as an old peasant woman. She came to the cottage
and called Snow White through the window. “Oh, pretty lady! Let me in! I have something special for
you!” said her. “I’m sorry, old lady, I can’t let you in. The seven dwarfs have told to stay away from
strangers,” Snow White replied. “I have a juicy and sweet apple, my dear. Do you want it?” she offered.
Snow White took it and just by one bite, she fell onto the floor. The wicked queen then went back to her
palace. She once again asked her mirror and now she was the most beautiful one in the kingdom. She
was so happy to hear it.
When the seven dwarfs came home to find snow white lying on the floor, they were deeply upset and
cried all night. Then they build a glass coffin for her and placed it in front of their cottage. One day, a
charming princess who was passing the woods saw it. He was dazzled by Snow White’s beauty and then
kissed her. The true first kiss had broken the spell and Snow White awakened from the deep sleep. The
seven dwarfs were very happy. At last, the prince married her and took her to his palace. Then they lived
happily ever after.
The trust or moral message that can be taken from the fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a
love story, where love and beauty are stronger than evil. Do not be easily jealous or envious of what
other people have, because jealousy and envy are bad and despicable actions.
