Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Snow White. She had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony. Her stepmother, the Queen, was very jealous of her beauty. Every day, the Queen would ask her magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror always replied, “You, my Queen.” But one day, it answered, “Snow White is the fairest of them all.”
The Queen was furious and ordered a huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and kill her. But the huntsman had a kind heart and let her go. Snow White ran deep into the forest and found a small cottage, where seven dwarfs lived. They welcomed her, and she stayed with them.
When the Queen learned Snow White was still alive, she used magic to disguise herself and tried to kill her with a poisoned apple. Snow White took a bite and fell into a deep sleep. The dwarfs placed her in a glass coffin, believing she was dead.
One day, a prince came by, saw Snow White, and kissed her. The magic broke, and Snow White woke up. She and the prince fell in love and lived happily ever after.
