The Story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Grimm's Fairy Tale version - translated by Margaret Hunt - language modernized a bit by Leanne Guenther
Once upon a time, long, long ago a king and queen ruled over a distant land. The queen was kind and lovely and all the people of the realm adored her. The only sadness in the queen's life was that she wished for a child only did non accept i.
One wintertime day, the queen was doing needle piece of work while gazing out her ebony window at the new fallen snow. A bird flew by the window startling the queen and she pricked her finger. A unmarried drop of blood vicious on the snow outside her window. Equally she looked at the claret on the snow she said to herself, "Oh, how I wish that I had a girl that had pare equally white as snowfall, lips as red as blood, and hair as black equally ebony."
Soon after that, the kind queen got her wish when she gave birth to a baby girl who had skin white every bit snow, lips cherry as blood, and hair blackness as ebony. They named the infant princess Snowfall White, but sadly, the queen died afterwards giving birth to Snowfall White.
Before long after, the king married a new adult female who was beautiful, only besides proud and fell. She had studied night magic and owned a magic mirror, of which she would daily ask,
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
Each time this question was asked, the mirror would give the aforementioned reply, "Thou, O Queen, art the fairest of all." This pleased the queen greatly as she knew that her magical mirror could speak nothing but the truth.
1 morning when the queen asked, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" she was shocked when it answered:
Yous, my queen, are fair; it is true.
Merely Snowfall White is even fairer than y'all.
The Queen flew into a jealous rage and ordered her huntsman to accept Snowfall White into the woods to be killed. She demanded that the huntsman return with Snow White's heart every bit proof.
The poor huntsman took Snow White into the wood, simply found himself unable to kill the girl. Instead, he let her get, and brought the queen the heart of a wild boar.
Snow White was now all alone in the swell wood, and she did not know what to do. The copse seemed to whisper to each other, scaring Snow White who began to run. She ran over sharp stones and through thorns. She ran equally far equally her feet could carry her, and just as evening was about to autumn she saw a little house and went inside in order to rest.
Within the firm everything was modest but tidy. There was a petty table with a tidy, white tablecloth and vii little plates. Confronting the wall there were seven little beds, all in a row and covered with quilts.
Because she was so hungry Snow White ate a few vegetables and a little bread from each little plate and from each cup she drank a bit of milk. Afterwards, because she was and then tired, she lay down on one of the petty beds and fell fast asleep.
Later dark, the owners of the house returned home. They were the seven dwarves who mined for gold in the mountains. As soon as they arrived dwelling, they saw that someone had been in that location -- for not everything was in the aforementioned order equally they had left it.
The first one said, "Who has been sitting in my chair?"
The 2d one, "Who has been eating from my plate?"
The third one, "Who has been eating my bread?"
The fourth 1, "Who has been eating my vegetables?"
The fifth ane, "Who has been eating with my fork?"
The sixth ane, "Who has been drinking from my loving cup?"
But the 7th one, looking at his bed, found Snow White lying there asleep. The seven dwarves all came running upwardly, and they cried out with amazement. They fetched their 7 candles and shone the light on Snow White.
"Oh good heaven! " they cried. "This kid is beautiful!"
They were and so happy that they did not wake her up, but let her continue to sleep in the bed. The next morning Snow White woke up, and when she saw the seven dwarves she was frightened. Just they were friendly and asked, "What is your proper name?"
"My name is Snow White," she answered.
"How did you discover your fashion to our house?" the dwarves asked farther.
And then she told them that her stepmother had tried to kill her, that the huntsman had spared her life, and that she had run the entire 24-hour interval through the wood, finally stumbling upon their house.
The dwarves spoke with each other for awhile and and then said, "If y'all will keep house for us, and cook, brand beds, wash, sew together, and knit, and keep everything clean and orderly, then you tin can stay with us, and you shall have everything that you want."
"Yeah," said Snow White, "with all my centre." For Snow White greatly enjoyed keeping a tidy dwelling house.
And then Snow White lived happily with the dwarves. Every morning time they went into the mountains looking for gold, and in the evening when they came back home Snow White had their meal ready and their house tidy. During the day the girl was alone, except for the pocket-size animals of the woods that she often played with.
Now the queen, assertive that she had eaten Snow White'southward middle, could only recall that she was again the first and the most beautiful woman of all. She stepped earlier her mirror and said:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?
It answered:
You lot, my queen, are fair; it is truthful.
Only Snow White, beyond the mountains
With the 7 dwarves,
Is nevertheless a 1000 times fairer than you.
This startled the queen, for she knew that the mirror did not lie, and she realized that the huntsman had deceived her and that Snow White was even so alive. So she thought, and thought again, how she could rid herself of Snow White -- for equally long as she was not the most cute woman in the entire land her jealousy would requite her no rest.
At last she thought of something. She went into her most secret room -- no i else was allowed inside -- and she fabricated a poisoned apple. From the outside it was beautiful, and anyone who saw it would want it. Merely anyone who might eat a lilliputian piece of information technology would dice. Coloring her confront, she disguised herself as an former peddler woman, so that no one would recognize her, traveled to the dwarves house and knocked on the door.
Snow White put her caput out of the window, and said, "I must not let anyone in; the seven dwarves take forbidden me to do so."
"That is all right with me," answered the peddler woman. "I'll easily get rid of my apples. Here, I'll give you lot ane of them."
"No," said Snow White, "I cannot accept anything from strangers."
"Are you agape of poison?" asked the old woman. "Look, I'll cut the apple in two. You lot eat one-half and I shall eat one-half."
Now the apple had been and then artfully made that only the one one-half was poisoned. Snow White longed for the beautiful apple, and when she saw that the peddler adult female was eating part of it she could no longer resist, and she stuck her mitt out and took the poisoned half. She barely had a bite in her mouth when she fell to the ground dead.
The queen looked at her with an evil stare, laughed loudly, and said, "White as snow, red as blood, black as ebony wood! The dwarves shall never awaken you."
Dorsum at dwelling house she asked her mirror:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?
Information technology finally answered:
You lot, my queen, are fairest of all.
Then her roughshod and jealous middle was at rest, as well as a cruel and jealous heart can exist at rest.
When the dwarves came habitation that evening they found Snow White lying on the ground. She was non breathing at all. She was dead. They lifted her upwardly and looked at her longingly. They talked to her, shook her and wept over her. But nothing helped. The dear child was expressionless, and she remained dead. They laid her on a bed of straw, and all 7 sabbatum next to her and mourned for her and cried for iii days. They were going to bury her, but she however looked as fresh equally a living person, and still had her beautiful red cheeks.
They said, "We cannot bury her in the black world," and they had a transparent glass coffin made, so she could be seen from all sides. They laid her inside, and with aureate messages wrote on it her name, and that she was a princess. Then they put the bury outside on a mount, and one of them ever stayed with it and watched over her. The animals as well came and mourned for Snowfall White, first an owl, so a raven, and finally a pigeon.
At present it came to pass that a prince entered these woods and happened onto the dwarves' house, where he sought shelter for the night . He saw the coffin on the mountain with beautiful Snow White in it, and he read what was written on it with gilded letters.
And so he said to the dwarves, "Allow me take the coffin. I will give you annihilation you want for it."
But the dwarves answered, "We will not sell information technology for all the golden in the world."
Then he said, "Then give it to me, for I cannot live without existence able to see Snow White. I will honor her and respect her as my most cherished one."
Every bit he thus spoke, the good dwarves felt pity for him and gave him the coffin. The prince had his servants carry it away on their shoulders. But so it happened that one of them stumbled on some brush, and this dislodged from Snow White's pharynx the piece of poisoned apple that she had bitten off. Not long afterward she opened her eyes, lifted the hat from her bury, sabbatum upwardly, and was alive again.
"Good heavens, where am I?" she cried out.
The prince said joyfully, "You are with me." He told her what had happened, and and so said, "I dear y'all more than anything else in the earth. Come with me to my father'due south castle. Yous shall go my wife." Snow White loved him, and she went with him. Their wedding was planned with corking splendor and majesty.
Snow White's wicked pace-female parent was invited to the banquet, and when she had arrayed herself in her most beautiful garments, she stood before her mirror, and said:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?
The mirror answered:
You, my queen, are fair; it is true.
But the immature queen is a 1000 times fairer than you.
Not knowing that this new queen was indeed her stepdaughter, she arrived at the wedding ceremony, and her heart filled with the deepest of dread when she realized the truth - the evil queen was banished from the land forever and the prince and Snow White lived happily ever after.
