Snow White
Long time ago, there lived a beautiful princess in a very big palace. She is very beautiful
with her blue eyes and long black hair. Her skin is white and smooth, thus she was called
Snow White. She had a step mother who was always envious of her beauty. Her step
mother was also beautiful, and the magical mirror always said that everyday and every
time she asked.

“Mirror on the wall, who

is the most beautiful in this world?” her step mother asked.

“You are the most beautiful woman in this world, Majesty.” The magical mirror
answered.

One day, the step mother asked to the magical mirror again. But, the answer of the
magical mirror made her angry.

“Mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful in this world?” the step mother asked.

“My queen, you are beautiful. But, Snow White is more beautiful than you.” The magical
mirror answered.

The step mother was very angry. Then, she asked her trusted servant to bring Snow
White to go away from the palace and kill her. However, the servant did not kill Snow
White. He let her go by herself.

“Please, don’t kill me. I will go to the woods and I will not come back again.” Snow
White begged.

“Go away poor princess.” The servant said.

The servant thought that wild animals would eat her and letting Snow White made his
heart relieved and free from the pressure.

In the forest, snow white was alone and afraid. She did not know where she had to go.
But, suddenly she saw a small peculiar cottage. He wondered who lived there, and then
she decided to go inside it. In the cottage, there are 7 beds and a kitchen. Snow white
was very tired and suddenly she fell asleep. In the afternoon, seven of the dwarf who
live in the hut, went home. They were surprised to see a young woman there. One of
the dwarves rouse her and asked who she was. Snow white told them her sad story. The
seven dwarves also understood her feeling and asked her to stay with them in the
cottage.
Meanwhile at the palace, the servant went back and told the stepmother that snow
white had been killed. Then the stepmother asked the magical mirror once again who
the most beautiful in this world is and still magical mirror answer snow white who was
living in small cottage with seven dwarves was the most beautiful.

The stepmother was very angry and he planned something bad for snow white. Then,
the stepmother disguised herself as an old woman who sold a bucket of poisonous
apples and go to the cottage. In the cottage, snow white was warned not to open the
door to strangers by the seven dwarves. The stepmother finally arrived to the cottage
and began offering the apples to Snow White.

“I can’t open the door and let anyone come in. The seven dwarves have warned me.”
Snow White said.

“Okay. I just want to give this apple to you.”

“No. I can’t take anything from anyone.” Snow white explained.

Snow white refused to open the door but the stepmother continue to persuade.
Ultimately, snow white opened the door and bought an apple and then she ate it.
Therefore, snow white was poisonous with an apple fell beside him.

In the evening, when the seven dwarves went home, they were surprised. They saw
snow white lied on the floor with a pale face and poisonous apple beside her. The seven
dwarves were sad to see snow white was dying. Then, the seven dwarves decided to
make bedding for Snow White that was made of beautiful crystal to make her alive.
Everyday, seven dwarves waited for miracles that when snow white would be awake.

One day, there was a prince of a kingdom who saw a beautiful woman was laid on the
bed of a crystal. He was also asking the dwarves to tell what happened and dwarf told it.

“Let me have Snow White and I will give you everything you want.” The prince asked.

However, the seven dwarves refused it. They did not want to be separated with Snow
White even though he would pay by gold in this world.

“I ask it really much because I can’t live without seeing Snow White. If you agree, I will
bring all of you, too. I also take you as my brothers.

Finally, the seven dwarves agreed. Then, the prince kissed snow white to show his
intention. Suddenly, Snow White was awake. The fact was that the kiss fro the prince
broke the evil spell. After that, the prince asked her to get married with him. Snow white
said yes. Since that day, Snow white lived in the prince’s big palace happily ever after.
