There was once a beautiful princess named Snow White. She
had an evil stepmother who thought she was more beautiful
than anyone else. But Snow White was more beautiful, so her
stepmother tried to have her killed.

Luckily, Snow White escaped and lived in the forest with seven
dwarfs. They all lived happily, until the mirror told her
stepmother that Snow White was still alive. The wicked
stepmother disguised herself as a peddler.

Then she went to the cottage while the seven dwarfs were at
work. She gave Snow White a poisoned red apple. Snow White
took a bite of the apple and fell into a deep sleep. The dwarfs
were very sad and built a glass coffin for her.

One day, a prince came by and saw her. He bent down to give
her a kiss. Snow White woke up and they got married.
