Chapter 1: The Beautiful Princess
Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a beautiful princess named Snow White. She had skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose, and hair as black as ebony. Snow White lived with her wicked stepmother, the Queen, who 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?” And every day, the mirror would reply, “You, my Queen, are fair; it is true. But Snow White is even fairer than you.”
This made the Queen very angry. She could not stand to hear that someone was more beautiful than her. One day, in her rage, she ordered a huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and get rid of her. The huntsman took Snow White deep into the woods, but when he looked into her kind eyes, he couldn’t do it.
“Run away, dear princess,” he said. “Never return to the castle!” Snow White was terrified but grateful. She ran and ran until she found a little cottage in a clearing. Exhausted, she knocked on the door and fell asleep on a small bed inside.
Chapter 2: The Seven Dwarfs
When Snow White woke up, she found herself in a cozy little house. The walls were covered in flowers, and the air smelled sweet. As she explored, she discovered seven tiny beds and realized that she was in the home of seven dwarfs.
The dwarfs were named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey. They worked in a nearby mine, digging for diamonds. When they came home that evening and found Snow White, they were surprised but very friendly.
“Who are you?” asked Doc, the leader of the dwarfs.
“I am Snow White, and I was lost in the forest,” she replied. The dwarfs welcomed her with open arms. They decided to let her stay with them, and Snow White promised to cook and clean for them in return.
Days turned into weeks, and Snow White was very happy living with the dwarfs. They sang songs, danced, and enjoyed each other’s company. But the Queen soon discovered that Snow White was still alive. She was furious!
Chapter 3: The Queen’s Trick
The Queen decided to disguise herself as an old peddler woman and went to the dwarfs’ cottage. She knocked on the door. “Pretty apples for sale!” she called out. Snow White, curious, opened the door.
“Hello, dearie! Would you like to buy an apple?” asked the Queen, pretending to be sweet.
Snow White, remembering her kindness, took the apple. The Queen had poisoned it! Just as Snow White took a bite, she fell to the ground, lifeless.
When the dwarfs returned home, they found Snow White on the floor. They were heartbroken. They placed her in a glass coffin and mourned her loss. They kept watch over her, hoping she would wake up one day.
One day, a handsome prince was riding through the forest. He saw the beautiful Snow White in the coffin and was enchanted by her beauty. He leaned down and kissed her softly.
Magically, the kiss broke the spell! Snow White opened her eyes and smiled. The dwarfs cheered with joy!
The prince explained that he had heard of her kindness and beauty and had come to save her. Snow White was grateful and fell in love with the prince. They invited the dwarfs to the castle, where they all lived happily ever after.
And the wicked Queen? She was never seen again, banished by her own jealousy. Snow White, the prince, and the seven dwarfs brought joy and laughter to the kingdom, proving that love and friendship are the greatest treasures of all.
