Snow White
And the Seven Dwarfs
Once upon a time, a vain and wicked Queen lived in a castle with her husband, the
king, and her beautiful step-daughter, Snow White .
To disguise the princess beauty, the
Queen made Snow White wear old clother and work very hard. Every day, the jealous
Queen would ask her magical mirror: “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Who is the
fairest one of all?”
“You,
oh Queen, are the fairest in he land,” the mirror would reply. The Queen was
happy with that answer, until…
One day the mirror replied, “Oh
Queen, Snow White is the fairest in the land!”
The Queen flew into a rage, and sent for her huntsman immediately. “ Tomorrow
take Snow White into the forest and Kill her,” the Queen ordered. “Bring
her heart back to me in this box.” The huntsman was afraid, but he didn’t dare
disobey.
The next day her tried to do as the Queen had
ordered, but he could not kill Snow White. As the princess jumped back in fear, the huntsman fell to his
knees sobbing, “I can’t do i!” He told the princess what the evil Queen had
said. Then he told Snow White to run away and hide. Snow White fled into the
woods. She was very afraid, but the friendly animals of the forest found her
and led her to a clearing.
A lovely cottage stood on the
riverbank. Snow White couldn’t imagine who might live there, but the animals
knew: the Seven Dwarfs, who where away working at their diamond mine. The
animals urged Snow White toward the cottage, and when no one answered the door,
she opened it to peek inside.
“What an adorable house!” she
exclaimed, “but it is a mess. Perhaps we can tidy up a bit.” There were dirty
dishes and clothes everywhere, and cobwebs hung from the rafters. Snow White
even found a shoe in a cooking pot. The bunny helped sweep the floor. The
animals tidied up, white the squirrels used their tails as feather dusters.
Meanwhile, the diamond mine was busy
with the sounds of picks, shovels and hammers as the Seven Dwarfs whistled and
worked. Sneezy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful and Grumpy dug through the rocks. While doc cut the
beautiful gems, Dopey playfully pretended the diamonds were eyeglasses.
When night started to fall, the
Seven Dwarfs put their picks over their
shoulders and started home, singing and whistling all the way. But when they
reached the clearing the stopped in amazement. “There’s a light in the window!”
said Doc, pointing toward the house.
The Seven Dwarfs tiptoed through the
door and looked at the spotless house. “How dare someone clean our house”, gumbed Grumpy. “Let’s look upstairs”,
whispered Doc. The Dwarfs pushed Dopey up the stairs a head of them. He peeked into bedroom, then
leaped up in fright. Something very large lay across their beds. When the Seven
Dwarfs entered the room, they saw the beautiful princes fast asleep. They tried
to quiet Grumpy, who complained loudly, “I want my bed back!” Snow White awoke
and stretched.
She
was surprised to see the Dwarfs. They introduced themselves to her and quickly
became her friends.
Back at the castle, the wicked Queen
thought snow white was dead, for the huntsman had put at deer’s heart in the
box instead of snow white’s. But the next morning when she asked the magical
mirror, “Mirror , mirror, on the wall, now who is the fairest one of all?” the
mirror replied, “Over the seven jeweled hills,
beyond the seventh fall, in the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, dwells Snow White,
the fairest one of all!” The Queen flung the box to the ground in a fury. “I
have been tricked!” she screamed. Then she smiled a wicked smile and quickly went
to the dungeon. “I shall take care of Snow White my self,” she said.
The Queen brewed up a magic potion
which turned her into an ugly old beggar woman. Then she dipped an apple into
poison. “I will bring this apple to SnowWhite,” she cackled. “And when she
bites it she will fal asleep forever.” The only antidote was love’s First kiss,
but the Queen knew no one would find Snow White in the forest and fall in loe
with her.
In the meantime, Snow White had
cooked up delicious dinner for her new
friends. The Dwarfs rushed eagerly to the table, but before they could eat.
Snow White looked at their hands to make sure they were clean. The Dwarfs ate
their dinner and then dancet with Snow White. The next morning she gave each of
them a kiss as they set out for the mine. Even Grumpy had to smile.
After the dwarfs left, an old beggar
woman appeared at the door. The animal tried to warn Snow White it was the evil
Queen, but the princess invited her inside. While the animals watched
helplessly at the window, Snow White took a bite from the old lady’s apple .The
animals rrun to warn the dwarfs, but I was too late.
When the Seven Dwarfs arrived, their
beloved Snow White had already fallen into a death-like sleep. They gathered
around in silence. Then they built her a crystal casket and took her into the
forest.
The animal’s friend and the Seven
Dwarfs prayed by Snow White’s casket day after day. One morning Prince Charming,
who had vooked all over the kingdom for
a princess, arrived on his horse. When he lifted the crystal lid and kissed
Snow White, she slowly opened her eyes.
The Prince asked the princess to
mary him. As he led Snow White away on his horse, she waved goodbye to her dear
animal friends and to the Seven Dwarfs.
