Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
This is the story of a beautiful princess, Snow White, named for her skin colour. She lost her mother, and her father married another woman. The new queen was equally beautiful and had a magic mirror. She was proud and used to consult the mirror often, asking, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest among all?’
As Snow White began to grow, she became more beautiful. The queen’s mirror started to say her name when asked. Out of jealousy, she hired huntsmen to kill Snow White and bring her heart. They pitied the princess, asking her to go far away and never return. The huntsmen gave the heart of a pig to the queen.
Meanwhile, Snow White started to live her life with seven dwarfs. The queen found the truth when she consulted her mirror and decided to kill Snow White herself. Disguised as an old woman, she convinced Snow White to eat a poisoned apple. She ate it and went into a deep sleep. The seven dwarfs kept her in a glass coffin. At the same time, a prince was passing by. He was mesmerised by her beauty and kissed her hand to bid farewell. The poison got dislodged as soon as he kissed her, and she woke up. They both got married and lived happily together. The evil queen fell sick and eventually died.
