白雪公主

In a beautiful country, there lived a king and a queen. They had a little princess. Her skin was as white as snow. Her lips were as red as a cherry and her hair was as dark as ebony. She was called Snow White. The family lived a happy life. But before long, the queen died.

The king married another woman. She was beautiful but proud and arrogant. She couldn't bear anyone being more beautiful than her. She was a witch and had a magic mirror. “ Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in the land is the fairest of all？” she would often ask. “ You, my queen, are the fairest of all，” the mirror answered. Hearing this, the queen felt satisfied and roared with laughter.

As Snow White grew up, she became more and more beautiful. Everyone liked her, except the queen. One day the queen asked the mirror as usual, “ Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in the land is the fairest of all?” " You, my queen, are fair. But Snow White is much fairer than you. " Hearing this, the queen felt very angry.

The queen ordered her guard to kill Snow White secretly. The guard found Snow White in the forest. She was binding up a wound for a little bunny. The guard couldn't bear to kill her. “ Run away as far as you can and never let the queen find you, " he said.

Snow White ran into the forest. She wandered aimlessly, until she came to a small house. The house was unlocked and no one was in. There were seven tiny beds and a little table with seven little plates and cups. The bread was hardly enough for one bite and the drink was hardly enough for one sip. Snow White was hungry and tired, so she ate some bread, drank some juice, and fell asleep on the bed.

The owners of the house came back at midnight. They were seven dwarfs. They all liked Snow White at the first sight of her. The next day, when Snow White woke up, the seven dwarfs prepared her breakfast and a bunch of pink roses. Snow White told them her story. The seven dwarfs invited her to stay with them. In the daytime, they went out to work while Snow White did the housework at home.
