Once upon a time there lived a king who had the most beautiful wife in all of 

the land.   They would sit by the red window frame in the tower of their castle 

and watch the sunrise and sunset every morning and every evening.   The 

queen loved children and wanted a child of her own.   The king and queen 

prayed for a child every day and hoped that they would be given one.   After 

a couple of years, they were finally given a child.   They named her Snow 

White because her skin was as white as snow, her hair dark as night, and 

her blood as red as the window frame in the tower of the Castle.   Her dad 

would tell her stories about a place deep within the forest, where seven 

giants lived.   He talked of magical garden, they had outside their house and 

how it could bring someone back to life if a true loves kiss was made in the 

garden.

One day when Snow White was 13 years old, a young woman 

came into the castle and had asked the servants to see the 

king for it was very important.   When the king came up to her, 

she fell to her knees and began to cry.  

“I don’t know what to do, my home was ruined by a fire and 

now I don’t have a place to live,” she sobbed. 

“Would you like to live here in the castle?”   inquired the king. 

“If it’s okay with you,” the young woman replied. 

The king nodded.   When the king showed her to her room, he 

noticed the woman had brought in a small mirror with her.   He 

figured it was one of her personal belongings that did not end 

up destroyed in the fire and, so he didn’t say anything.   The 

woman had lied though.   Her house was never really on fire.  

The woman thought that maybe if she told the king her home 

had been ruined in a fire, he would allow her stay at the 

Castle, and she was right.

The mirror she had brought in wasn’t just an 

ordinary mirror, it was a magical mirror.   When 

she would raise the mirror high in front of her 

face and say, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who 

in this land is the most fairest of them all,” it 

would tell her who the fairest in the land was.  

The mirror had always told her the queen was 

the fairest of them all and therefore the most 

beautiful in all of the land.   The woman was 

very greedy and she wanted to be the fairest 

in the land.   After thinking it over, she made a 

decision to kill the queen.

One morning while the king, Queen, and Snow White were all still sleeping, she got up from 

her bed and decided to make breakfast instead of having the servants do it.   She put poison 

in only the queen’s food and went upstairs to serve them breakfast in bed.   They seemed 

very grateful for the food, but all it took was one bite and the queen died.   Snow White 

became very upset.   The king wept for three days and did not eat or sleep.   He became so 

weak that he got very sick and died.   Right before he died he gave all authority to the young 

woman and told her to take care of Snow White.   She did not like Snow White though and 

thought she was a nuisance.   When she found Snow White weeping in her bed, she grabbed 

her arm.  

“You’re coming with me,” she shouted. 

The woman pulled her to the highest floor of the castle and locked her in the tower.   Snow 

White would have screamed at her, but she left to fast.   The tower became Snow Whites 

new home.   She would sit by the red window frame and watch outside, for it was the only 

sunlight she had.   Once a day the woman would slide food under the door for her to eat, but 

that was all she got.   One night after the woman went downstairs to her room after giving 

Snow White her food, she held the mirror up to her face. 

She said, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in this land is the fairest of them all.”   “You are,” 

the mirror answered.

Thankful, she put the mirror in a drawer beside her bed and went to sleep.   Many months 

past, maybe even a year or two before she picked up the mirror again. 

When she finally held it up again in front of her face she said, 

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in this land is the fairest of 

them all.”

Then the mirror said something different, “you are the fairest 

that I see, but Snow White is older now and fairer than you’ll 

ever be.”

The young woman was furious.   She threw the mirror on the 

bed and raced upstairs to the tower and flung the door open.  

She grabbed Snow White by the hair and pulled her down the 

stairs and out the door.   By the time they got outside Snow 

White was in tears.

When the woman spotted a young man, she yelled for him to come.   He 

calmly walked over to them.   

“What can I do for you,” he said happily.

The woman had accidently mistaken the young man for a huntsman, 

but he was actually was a prince from another land.  

“Take this girl into the forest and kill her.   Bring me back her heart as 

proof,” the woman whispered into the man’s ear secretly.   Then she 

gave him a small bag of gold.  

He agreed and took Snow White by the arm into the forest.   He made 

sure he was deep enough into the forest, so the woman couldn’t see 

them.   

“What are you going to do to me,” she cried.

“Listen, he spoke, I am supposed to kill you, for the woman has 

mistaken me for a huntsman.   Run deep into the forest where she 

cannot find you, for I would never kill anyone.” 

Snow White ran and ran as far she 

could until she couldn’t run anymore.   It 

started to get dark outside, so Snow 

White fell asleep on a rock.

Back at the Castle, the man brought the 

woman back the heart of a pig, for he killed 

the first one he saw.   She put it in a jar and 

placed it by her bedside.   Later, when she tried 

the mirror again, it gave her the same answer 

as before.   Once again, she became very angry 

and now knew what the huntsman had done.  

After she calmed down, she made a plan to kill 

Snow White herself.   The next morning when 

Snow White woke up animals were all around 

her.  

“Can you help me?” she asked. 

They nodded, and then motioned for her to come.   They brought 

her to a wall of vines and Snow White followed the animals 

through them.   They brought her to a ginormous house that she 

has never seen before, but her dad would tell her stories about 

this place.   The house was three times as large as the castle.  

Then her eyes widened when she saw the magical garden her 

father had talked about.   She ran up to the door and knocked.  

When no one answered, she slowly opened the door.   She waved 

at the animals behind her.  

“Thank you,” she called.

When she got inside, the door slammed behind her.   She 

saw a huge table in front of her, so she climbed up the 

wooden leg of a chair and onto the table.   There were 

seven bowls of vegetable soup in front of her.   Snow 

White chose the bowl closest to her.   She slowly dipped 

her finger in the bowl to see if it was too hot to eat.  

Since it wasn’t, she ate the vegetables out of the soup, 

one at a time.
