In a small cabin in the forest lived the beautiful Snow White and seven dwarfs.
Snow White was born in a palace, so why was she living in the forest with the seven dwarfs? The story starts from the beginning.
It turns out that Snow White’s stepmother, the Queen, was extremely jealous of her beauty.
The Queen, who possessed magical powers, had a magic mirror that knew everything. When the mirror told her that Snow White had grown up and replaced her as the most beautiful woman in the world, the Queen became insanely jealous.
She sent a warrior to take Snow White into the forest and kill her.
However, the warrior couldn’t bear to do such a thing, so he let Snow White escape into the forest.
In the forest, Snow White met the seven dwarfs. Feeling great sympathy for her, they invited her to live in their little cabin.
This is how Snow White came to live with the seven dwarfs.
Every day, the dwarfs would go to the forest to work, and Snow White would clean the cabin until it was spotless. She would also prepare delicious meals for the dwarfs to enjoy together when they returned in the evening.
She made them new clothes, told stories, and sang songs, which made the dwarfs fond of the kind and beautiful princess.
One day, Snow White and the dwarfs worked together to save a wounded prince.
Under Snow White’s careful care, the prince quickly recovered.
The prince liked Snow White very much, and before leaving, he gathered the courage to ask her if she would be his princess.
Snow White liked the prince as well, so she agreed to marry him. They planned to return to his kingdom and get married once the prince finished his business in a neighboring country.
However, when the Queen in the palace learned that Snow White was still alive and had even gotten engaged to a handsome prince, she was furious. She decided to handle Snow White herself.
Using magic, she made an apple pie that would turn anyone who took a bite into a toad.
With a wicked smile, she said, “The most beautiful woman in the world is about to become the ugliest toad!”
Disguising herself as a young woman, she went to the cabin and offered to sell apple pies.
“My apple pies are the best in the world. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to pay. Just try it,” she said.
She placed two pies on the table, one in front of Snow White and one for herself, urging Snow White to eat.
Just as Snow White was about to take a bite, one of the dwarfs said, “Wait!”
He then turned to the Queen and said, “You eat first!”
“Me eat first? Fine, I’ll eat first! You clever little dwarf!”
She thought, you fool, thinking you’re so clever. How would you know that my apple pie isn’t poisoned, but Snow White’s is!
Without hesitation, she took a bite of her pie, and to her shock, she instantly turned into a toad—the ugliest kind.
It turned out that the seven dwarfs had suspected her from the start. While she wasn’t paying attention, they switched the pies.
Had she not been a witch and made the pies herself, she would have been stuck as a toad forever.
The Queen barely managed to break the spell and return to the palace, fuming with rage.
She was far from giving up and brewed a bottle of poisonous apple juice using her magic.
Disguising herself as a middle-aged woman, she once again approached the dwarfs’ cabin to sell her apple juice.
This time, she was more cautious, waiting until the dwarfs had gone to work before knocking on the door.
“My apple juice is the sweetest in the world. If it’s not sweet, you don’t have to pay. Just try it,” she said, pouring a cup and handing it to Snow White.
But before Snow White could take it, someone snatched it away.
It was one of the dwarfs! They had finished work early and returned home, immediately suspicious of the woman.
“You try it first,” the dwarf said.
Before the Queen could react, two dwarfs held her hands, and another stood on a chair, forcing the apple juice down her throat.
After just one sip, the Queen collapsed.
Had she not been a witch and made the juice herself, she might never have woken up.
The Queen returned to the palace, nearly coughing up blood from her anger.
She used magic to create the most poisonous apple in the world, disguised herself as an old woman selling apples, and came to the forest for the third time.
This time, she didn’t go directly to the cabin. She first found the dwarfs at work and cast a spell on them to make them lose their way, ensuring they wouldn’t interfere with her wicked plan.
Only then did she approach the cabin.
“My apples are the sweetest in the world. If they’re not sweet, you don’t have to pay. Just try one.”
Remembering the previous incidents, Snow White politely declined.
“Are you afraid it’s poisoned? I’ll take a bite first so you won’t have to worry.”
The Queen took a bite of the apple and handed it to Snow White.
Because of her previous experiences, the Queen had already taken the antidote, so she was unharmed.
Unable to resist the Queen’s constant urging and the apple’s sweet appearance, Snow White finally took a bite.
This time, the dwarfs, lost in the forest, couldn’t save her, and Snow White collapsed from the poison.
“Snow White is finally dead! I am once again the most beautiful woman in the world!” the Queen laughed as she left.
Meanwhile, the dwarfs were still lost, unable to find their way home, until they encountered the returning prince, who helped them back to their cabin.
The prince, eager to see Snow White and take her back to the palace for their wedding, was heartbroken to find her dead from the poison.
Devastated, the prince wept, and the dwarfs cried as well.
Looking at Snow White, the prince said, “She doesn’t look dead at all. I will take her back to my kingdom. Perhaps we can save her. Even if we can’t, she will still be my bride, and I will bury her as my princess.”
As the prince lifted Snow White onto his horse, a miracle happened—Snow White coughed up the poisoned apple and woke up.
The prince and the dwarfs were overjoyed.
Though Snow White was going to leave with the prince, she was reluctant to part with the dwarfs and said tearful goodbyes to them.
When the Queen learned from her magic mirror that Snow White was still alive and had become a princess, she became so furious that she fell ill and eventually died.
Snow White and the prince were married and lived happily ever after.
