Long long ago, a queen had(1) a kid. The kid was very beautiful. She was as white as snow. So the queen called her Snow White. When Snow White was a little baby, her mother died. Her father was a king, and he married another queen. The new queen was not a good woman. She had a glass. It could(2) speak. Every day the queen looked in the glass and asked, “Tell me, who is the most beautiful(3) of all?” And the glass said,“The queen is the most beautiful of all.”
But years went by(4). Snow White grew(5) up and became(6) a little girl. One day the queen asked the glass, “Who is the most beautiful of all?” And the glass answered,“Snow White is the most beautiful of all.” The queen was very angry. She called a servant to take Snow White into the forest and kill her. The servant took(7) her to the forest but did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He asked Snow White to stay in the forest and told(8) her that she could not go to the King’s house, because the queen wanted to kill her.
The poor girl went far into the forest. Then she saw(9) a little hut. She opened the door of the hut and went in. There were seven little loaves and seven little glasses on the table. There were seven little beds in the hut, too. Snow White ate(10) one of the loaves and drank(11) some water. Then she fell(12) asleep on one of the seven little beds.
The hut was the home ofseven dwarfs(13).When the seven dwarfs came back, they saw Snow White sleeping on their bed. They said, “She is very beautiful.” Snow White awoke(14) and told them her story. They invited her to live there with them.
Some days later, Snow White went into the garden. One of the queen’s servants was going through the forest and saw her.The queen was very angry when she heard(15)that Snow White was not dead(16). The queen took an apple and put some poison(17) into it. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. Snow White ate the apple. When the poison was in her mouth, she fell down dead.
The seven dwarfs came back to the hut after a day’s working. When they saw that Snow White was dead, they cried(18). They put Snow White in a box made of glass and took it to a hill. They put it there and said, “How beautiful she is! Everyone who goes by will see her.” Then they went away.
