At the beginning of the story, a queen who was born with a
silver spoon,

says to herself, "How I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as
snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony."
Some time later, the
queen gives birth to a baby daughter who she names Snow White.
It was
curtains
for this queen as she died shortly after giving birth.
Snow White's father, the king, remarries a very beautiful,
but a wicked and vain woman. The new queen owns a magic mirror, which she asks
every morning, "
Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?"
The
mirror always replies: "
My queen, you are the fairest in the land."
The queen is
always pleased with that, because the magic mirror never lies. But as Snow White
grows up, she becomes more beautiful each day and even more beautiful than the
queen, and when the queen asks her mirror, it says; "
My queen, you are the
fairest here so true. But Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than
you."
This
blew her mind
and it was a very
big deal
to the queen.
It was
written all over
her face 
that she was envious, and from that moment on, her heart turns
against Snow White, and the queen hates the girl more and more. Eventually, the
angry queen with her
sharp tongue
orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the woods to be killed. The huntsman
who was
down to earth
takes Snow White into the forest. After raising his knife, he says, "
I'm not a
hit man"
and was unable to kill her because he was a
good egg.

So it turned out it wasn't
curtains
for her after all.
Snow White is told that her stepmother wants her dead
but as far as the huntsman was concerned, the queen could
let George do it.

He told her and to get far away from the kingdom as possible. After being
on the run
and wandering through the forest, Snow White discovers a tiny cottage belonging
to a group of seven dwarfs (this was the original
group of seven).
Since no one is at home, she eats some of the tiny meals (
yuk),
drinks some of their
rot gut
wine, and then tests all the beds. Finally, the last bed is comfortable enough
for her and she falls asleep. When the dwarfs return home, they immediately
become aware that someone snuck in secretly, because everything in their home is
in messy. During their loud discussion where they
made a mountain out of a mole hill, they
discover the sleeping Snow White. She wakes up and explains to them what
happened, and the dwarfs take pity on her and let her stay with them. They warn
her to be careful and they would keep it
on the QT
that she was there and would
check up on
her.
Meanwhile, the queen asks her mirror once again: "
Magic mirror in my
hand, who is the fairest in the land?"
The mirror replies: "
My queen, you are
the fairest here so true. But Snow White beyond the mountains at the Seven
Dwarfs is a thousand times more beautiful than you"
. The queen is horrified to
learn that the huntsman has not killed Snow White and she says that the huntsman is a
marked man.
She says, "
over my dead body
will she remain alive.
I'll make certain that it is
curtains
for her!"
She plans the removal of Snow White, then disguises herself as an old
peddler. The queen then walks to the cottage of the seven dwarfs and offers her
colorful, silky laced bodices and convinces Snow White to take the most
beautiful as a present. Then the queen, who was a real
crack pot
aces her up so tightly that Snow White faints, and the queen left her for dead.
But the dwarfs return just in time, and seeing that Snow White was
in a bad way,
loosen the laces and Snow White recovers.
The queen then consults her magic mirror again, and the
mirror reveals
that it wasn't
curtains
for Snow White. Now really upset, the queen goes to
plan B
and dresses as a comb seller (the queen liked to play
make believe
and convinces Snow White to take a beautiful comb as a present. She brushes Snow
White's hair with the poisoned comb and the girl faints again. She is again
rescued by the dwarfs when they remove the comb from her hair. The magic mirror
tells the queen that Snow White is still "
a thousand times more beautiful"
. The
queen
went through the roof and made a third and final attempt to rid herself of
Snow White.
The queen decides to
play dirty
and makes a poisoned apple. Disguised as a farmer's wife, she offers it to Snow
White.

The girl who by now was afraid of being a
sucker
did not want to accept it, so the queen cuts the apple in half, eating the white
(harmless) half and said, "
yum"
and offered the red poisoned half to Snow White. The girl
caved in
takes a bite and falls into a deep sleep. This time the dwarfs found it
hard to swallow
as they are unable to revive Snow White. Assuming that it was
curtains
for her, they place her in a glass casket.
A prince traveling through the land sees Snow White in her
coffin and instantly falls in love with her. The moment he lifts the coffin to
carry it away, the piece of poisoned apple falls from between her lips and Snow
White awakens saying "
Hold on
,where am I?"
The Prince then declares his love for her and soon a wedding is
planned. Snow White and the prince invite everyone in her
family tree
to come to their wedding party, including Snow White's stepmother. Meanwhile,
the queen, still believing that Snow White is dead, again asks her magic mirror
who is the fairest in the land. The mirror says: "
Thou, lady, art loveliest
here, I ween; but lovelier far is the new-made queen"
. This
blew
her mind so she decides to go to the wedding to
look up
who this beauty was. Not knowing that the Prince's bride was her own
stepdaughter, she arrives at the wedding and sees that the bride is Snow White,
who she had killed. She went
crackers,

falls down, and this time it was
end of the line
(
curtains)
for her. Snow White and the prince reign happily and had a life that was
out of this world.

Moral of the story: Looks are only skin deep. What is in your heart is what counts.
