In a distant land, there was a beautiful Snow White. Her skin was as white as snow, and being born in the snowy winter, everyone called her Snow White.
Unfortunately, the poor Snow White lost her mother shortly after her birth.
Soon after, her father married a new queen, and Snow White gained a stepmother.
The new queen was very beautiful, but she had a wicked heart, and the people in the palace were afraid of her.
The queen possessed a magical mirror that knew everything in the world and never lied.
Every day, she would ask the mirror, “Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest one of all?”
The mirror would reply, “You, my beautiful mistress, are the fairest of them all.”
The queen would then laugh joyfully.
However, one day the mirror spoke differently, saying, “My mistress, you are indeed beautiful, but Snow White, who has grown into an adult, is the fairest of them all.”
The queen couldn’t laugh anymore; she was consumed by jealousy and immediately summoned the palace guards.
She commanded, “Take Snow White to the forest and kill her!”
Though reluctant, the guard knew the new queen was ruthless, so he led Snow White into the forest.
The guard drew his sword but couldn’t bring himself to harm the beautiful and kind Snow White.
Snow White said, “Kind-hearted warrior, since you can’t bear to kill me, let me go into the forest to be devoured by wild beasts.”
The guard agreed, watching Snow White walk into the forest before leaving.
The guard returned to the palace and informed the queen that Snow White was dead.
The queen laughed heartily and asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest one of all?”
The mirror replied, “Mistress, the fairest one is still Snow White; she is still alive.”
After entering the forest, Snow White saw a house ahead and walked in.
Inside, she found seven small people who were dwarfs. Hearing the story of her stepmother’s plan to kill Snow White, the dwarfs felt great sympathy and decided to let Snow White stay.
The dwarfs cautioned, “During the day, we all go out to work. Stay in the house and don’t roam around. The forest is filled with wild beasts, and besides, the queen might come looking for you.”
Snow White agreed.
So, during the day, the seven dwarfs went out to work, and Snow White cleaned the house.
In the evenings, she prepared meals and awaited the dwarfs’ return.
They spent their time together harmoniously and joyfully.
Upon learning that Snow White was still alive, the queen was furious at the guard’s betrayal.
She declared with malice, “This time, I will personally kill Snow White!”
The queen changed into different attire, covering her face with a hood, leaving the palace in the direction of the forest.
Entering the forest, the queen soon found the house that the magic mirror had revealed as Snow White’s dwelling.
She put on a hat, covered her face with a scarf, leaving only her eyes visible, and approached to knock on the door.
Hearing the knocking, Snow White asked, “Who is it?”
The queen altered her voice and said, “Young lady, I am passing by and feeling thirsty. Could you please give me some water?”
Snow White was about to open the door,but recalling the dwarfs’ advice, replied, “I’m sorry, I can’t open the door. There are too many villains and wild animals around.”
The queen, changing her voice again, pleaded, “Dear girl, do I sound like a villain? Kind-hearted girl, save me. I haven’t had water or food for two days, and I’m about to faint.”
Snow White thought to herself that she had also been saved by the dwarfs, and now, how could she not help others in need?
With this kind-hearted thought, Snow White immediately opened the door to let the queen in and offered food and water.
The queen slightly uncovered a corner of her scarf and took a sip of water.
Snow White said, “Take the scarf off; it’s better to enjoy the food.”
The queen replied, “My face was once burned, leaving scars that frighten people. I fear I might scare you.”
Snow White, full of compassion, said, “I had no idea you had faced such unfortunate experiences.”
The queen then ate a piece of bread and took out an apple, saying, “You are truly a kind and beautiful girl. With water and bread, I’ve regained my strength. Before I leave, please accept this apple.”
Little did Snow White know that this apple was extremely poisonous. Just a bite would lead to immediate death.
Fortunately, Snow White said, “Please don’t hesitate; keep the apple for your journey.”
The queen remarked, “Are you rejecting me? Is it because you find me, a scarred and ugly woman burned by fire, repulsive?”
Snow White hastily responded, “Absolutely not. Since you insist, I’ll accept the apple.”
Snow White took the apple, and the queen said, “Won’t you taste it? This apple is the sweetest in the whole world.”
Fortunately, Snow White said, “I want to save it to eat with my good friends, the dwarfs.”
However, the queen couldn’t wait and urged, “You should taste it first. I would regret it if I left before seeing you eat the apple.”
Snow White had no choice but to take a bite of the apple.
Indeed, this apple was both the sweetest and the most poisonous in the world.
After taking a bite, Snow White said, “This is truly the sweetest apple I’ve ever eaten…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Snow White collapsed on the ground.
The queen approached, placed her hand under the princess’s nostrils, confirmed she had stopped breathing, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Snow White has finally died. The most beautiful woman in the world is still me!”
Laughing heartily, the queen walked out of the door and returned to the palace.
The dwarfs returned home, found the lifeless Snow White, and were deeply saddened, bursting into tears.
The sound of their cries caught the attention of a prince who was passing by while hunting. He entered the house and inquired about the reason.
Upon learning the tragic story of Snow White, he felt sorrowful.
Looking at the beautiful Snow White lying beside, he asked the royal advisor, “Do you have a way to save her?”
The royal advisor said, “Prince, there is a bitten apple underground. It is a cursed poisoned apple. The new queen of Snow White’s kingdom has studied witchcraft, and she might have been here recently. If you want to save Snow White, you need to find someone who truly loves her and kiss her on the forehead to break the curse.”
The prince thought that he fell in love with Snow White at first sight, but he didn’t know if he could really break the curse and bring her back to life.
After contemplating, he leaned down and kissed Snow White on the forehead.
A miracle happened. Snow White spat out the apple she had just eaten, slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just awakened.
When she learned that the prince had saved her, she gratefully said, “I don’t know how to repay you, Prince. You saved my life!”
The royal advisor said, “The prince can bring you back to life, which proves he truly loves you. If you also like the prince, come back to our kingdom with us and marry him!”
Snow White, who was also smitten with the prince at first sight, shyly agreed.
Meanwhile, the queen returned to the palace, thinking that now she was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world.
She asked the magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
The magic mirror replied, “Mistress, the fairest of them all is still Snow White. The prince who truly loves her has saved her, and they will be getting married soon!”
The queen was furious.
A few days later, as she was scheming how to find Snow White, she received an invitation from the prince’s kingdom.
It turned out that the prince wanted to marry Snow White, and the king and queen were invited to attend the wedding.
The queen wickedly laughed, “This invitation couldn’t have come at a better time. I was just thinking of how to find Snow White.”
The magic mirror cautioned, “Mistress, I advise you not to go. Considering what you did to Snow White before, how could they forgive you?”
The queen sneered, “No evidence, even if they know it was me, they can’t do anything to me. I am the queen of their neighboring country, and don’t forget, I have witchcraft.”
So, the king and queen set out to attend the wedding of the prince.
Upon arrival, the king only then realized that the bride was his own daughter.
He exclaimed, “My daughter, I sent people everywhere to find you. How did you end up here, getting married to the prince?”
The queen, upon hearing the king’s words, felt a bit nervous, fearing that Snow White might reveal her misdeeds.
However, Snow White explained, “I got lost while playing in the forest. Luckily, I met the prince, and we enjoyed each other’s company. That’s why I returned with him. I’m sorry, Father, for causing you worry.”
Seeing that Snow White didn’t mention her misdeeds, the queen relaxed and took out a bottle of wine, saying, “This is wine I personally brewed. It’s a wedding gift for the prince and princess.”
The queen then poured wine for Snow White and the prince, saying, “You must taste it.”
At this moment, the royal advisor spoke, “Queen, your heart is truly wicked. This wine is the most poisonous in the world.”
The queen, infuriated, said, “How dare you accuse me! What evidence do you have?”
Before she could finish her words, a thieving crow flew over, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and lay down motionless.
Snow White addressed the queen, “I was willing to give you a chance, but you repeatedly tried to kill me.”
Snow White then revealed to the king the queen’s attempts to kill her on multiple occasions.
The queen continued to craftily argue, “False accusations! King, they must have switched the wine to frame me, and the rest of the story is all fabricated!”
The royal advisor retorted, “Don’t think you’re the only one with a mirror. Take a look at mine!”
The royal advisor brought out a mirror that displayed the queen’s numerous attempts to kill Snow White, unfolding like a movie.
The king was furious and said, “How dare you try to harm my most beloved daughter!”
The king ordered the soldiers to seize the queen.
However, the queen, having learned witchcraft, leaped onto a broomstick and flew into the sky, laughing heartily. “You think you can kill me? I will come back and exterminate all of you! I will return…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the queen realized she had descended to the ground, truly returning.
She picked up the broomstick and scolded, “You fool of a broomstick! I meant I would come back later, not now. Hurry up and leave.”
The queen mounted the broomstick again but found she couldn’t fly.
The royal advisor said, “Don’t bother trying. I have turned the broomstick into an ordinary one. You can’t escape now.”
The queen wanted to say something, but she found she could no longer speak. Blood was spilling from her mouth; she had fallen from the sky and was seriously injured.
After a while, the queen fell to the ground and remained motionless.
The king sighed and ordered his men to carry the queen away.
The wedding of the prince and Snow White continued, and they even invited the seven dwarfs from the forest. Everyone was overjoyed.
From then on, Snow White and the prince lived happily together.
👉 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
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.
👉 Short Story
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. Since her skin was as white as snow, and being born in the snowy winter, everyone called her Snow White.
Sadly, Snow White lost her mother at a young age. Later, her father married a new queen, and she had a stepmother.
The new queen was very beautiful, but she was also wicked and a witch.
The queen owned a magical mirror that knew everything in the world and never lied.
Every day, the queen would ask the mirror, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
The mirror always replied, “My queen, you are the fairest of them all!”
Hearing this always made the queen laugh with joy.
But one day, the mirror gave a different answer. It said, “My queen, you are beautiful, but Snow White has grown up, and now she is the fairest of them all!”
The queen was furious and called upon a huntsman. She ordered him to take Snow White into the forest and kill her.
However, the huntsman couldn’t bring himself to do it. He told Snow White the truth and said, “Run into the forest now! Never return to the palace!”
Snow White ran deep into the forest and met seven dwarfs. When they learned of her situation, they felt sorry for her and offered her a place to stay in their little cottage.
However, the queen soon learned from the magic mirror that Snow White was still alive. Enraged, she decided to deal with Snow White herself.
She enchanted a corset and disguised herself as an old woman. Then she went to the dwarfs’ cottage, selling the corset.
“Look at this beautiful corset! Try it on.”
As she spoke, she tried to put the corset on Snow White, but someone snatched it away.
It was the dwarfs. They had finished work early and returned home, suspicious of the old woman.
One of the dwarfs said, “Why don’t you try it on first?”
Before the queen could say another word, the dwarfs quickly fastened the corset around her.
She immediately felt it squeezing her waist tighter and tighter, until she could hardly breathe.
If it hadn’t been for her magic and the fact that she made the corset herself, she would have been strangled to death.
Angry, the queen returned to the palace and crafted a poisonous comb with her magic.
Disguising herself as a comb seller, she went to the cottage again.
“My combs are the best! You’ll see once you try it,” she said, trying to comb Snow White’s hair.
But once again, the comb was snatched away by someone.
It was the dwarfs again.
“You try it first!” they said.
Before the queen could react, one of the dwarfs grabbed her long hair and ran the comb through it. As soon as it touched her hair, the queen collapsed.
If not for her magic and the fact that she made the comb herself, she would have never woken up.
The queen returned to the palace, fuming with rage.
She carefully planned her next move, confident this time it would work.
“Snow White won’t escape this time!” she thought.
Using magic, she created the most poisonous apple in the world and disguised herself as an apple seller.
She first found the dwarfs while they were working and cast a spell to make them lose their way.
Only then did she approach the cottage.
Handing the poisoned apple to Snow White, she said, “Try it! This is the sweetest apple in the world!”
Due to her previous experiences, Snow White politely declined.
But after much persuasion and seeing how sweet the apple looked, she finally took a bite.
This time, the lost dwarfs couldn’t save Snow White. She collapsed.
The Queen left laughing loudly.
When the dwarfs returned, they found Snow White dead and cried in sorrow.
Their cries caught the attention of a passing prince. After learning her story, he looked at the beautiful Snow White and said, “Please allow me to take her to my kingdom. Maybe there’s a way to save her!”
Hearing there was a chance to revive Snow White, the dwarfs agreed.
As the prince lifted her onto his carriage, a miracle happened—the poisoned apple was dislodged from her throat, and Snow White woke up.
Later, Snow White followed the prince back to his kingdom, and they decided to hold a wedding, inviting kings and queens from all nations.
Snow White’s stepmother was also invited. She put on her most beautiful dress and asked the magic mirror, “Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest of them all?”
The mirror replied, “You are beautiful, my queen, but the fairest now is the new queen, the one whose wedding you’re about to attend.”
The Queen was nearly faint with rage. She had worked so hard to get rid of Snow White, only to find a new queen had risen.
Determined to see for herself, she went to the wedding, only to discover that the new queen was Snow White.
Snow White didn’t die and even became queen. Overcome with anger, she suddenly died.
Snow White and the prince were married and lived happily ever after.
👉 Very Short Story
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Snow White. Her stepmother, the queen, was very jealous of her beauty.
The queen was a witch and possessed a magical mirror that knew everything in the world.
One day, when the queen learned from the mirror that the most beautiful woman in the world was Snow White and not herself, she became extremely jealous.
She sent a hunter with the order to take Snow White to the forest and kill her.
The hunter couldn’t bring himself to do it and let Snow White escape into the forest.
In the forest, Snow White met seven dwarfs, who felt very sympathetic toward her and let her stay in their little cottage.
However, the queen soon learned that the hunter had betrayed her and became furious.
She personally concocted the most poisonous apple and disguised herself as an old woman, knocking on the door of the cottage while the dwarfs were away.
With sweet words, the queen tricked Snow White into eating the poisoned apple.
As soon as Snow White took a bite of the apple, she fell down immediately.
When the seven dwarfs returned home and saw that Snow White was no longer breathing, they couldn’t help but cry.
At that moment, a prince happened to pass by, heard the crying, and came in to inquire.
When he heard the story of Snow White, he was very saddened and asked his royal advisor if there was a way to save her.
The advisor said, “To save Snow White, you must find someone who truly loves her and kiss her on the forehead to break the spell of the poisoned apple.”
Without hesitation, the prince kissed Snow White on the forehead, and she truly woke up.
It turned out that the prince had fallen in love with her at first sight.
They returned to the prince’s kingdom and soon held a wedding.
The queen also attended, attempting to poison Snow White and the prince with poisoned wine, but was discovered by the royal advisor.
In a panic, she tried to escape on her broomstick but fell off and died.
From then on, Snow White and the prince lived happily ever after.
