Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs _ English Fairy Tales.

Snow White. Once upon a time, behind the cold walls of a grand palace, there lived an evil queen. This queen, named Hela, spent every day in front of her magical mirror with a silver antique frame. One day, Queen Hela put on her most beautiful dress, decorated her hair with pearls, and stood before her mirror to ask her famous question. Mirror, mirror on the wall, is there anyone more beautiful than me at all? Yes, my queen, you are beautiful. But Snow White is now a thousand times more beautiful. But this time, the mirror gave a very different answer. The queen's smile disappeared at once, replaced by terrible anger. First, she thought the mirror was tricking her. But when Snow White's sweet, innocent face appeared on the glass, she went mad with rage. At that moment, she swore to destroy Snow White's pure beauty. She immediately summoned the hunter she believed to be the most loyal and merciless. Take Snow White to the deepest, darkest part of the forest. And leave her to the wild animals, now. The hunter hesitated for a moment, but the queen's icy stare forced him to agree. The next morning, as the sun warmed the land, Snow White and the hunter walked into the forest. Snow White, thinking they were simply exploring, smelled flowers happily and chased butterflies. Meanwhile, the hunter secretly scattered bait to attract wild animals. Then he hid behind a tree and waited. But just then, Snow White found a tiny bird on the ground, its wing broken. She gently held it in her hands, warmed it, and tore a piece of her dress to wrap its little wing. Seeing Snow White's kindness and innocence, the hunter paused. Suddenly, a wild lion appeared from the bushes. The king of the forest crept silently towards Snow White, ready to strike. When the hunter saw the lion, he realized how dark the queen's orders truly were. And at that moment, he jumped forward and protected Snow White from the lion. Run, princess! Run and escape! Snow White ran without looking back and disappeared into the deep forest. Night fell, and the sounds of the forest grew frightening. She searched for a place to hide, hoping to find safety in the darkness. The moonlight shone through the branches, casting scary shadows around her. Your command has been fulfilled, my queen. The princess is now lost in the wild. Now she was sure she was the only beautiful one in the world. But Snow White, exhausted and stumbling over branches, was joined by a gentle deer that walked beside her through the dark forest until morning. After a while, she came across a very cute little house hidden among the trees. The princess knocked on the door, but no one answered. When she gently pushed the door, it creaked open by itself. The princess stepped inside cautiously. The inside was just as lovely as the outside. A table surrounded by seven tiny chairs, seven little coats on the wall, and tiny pots, spoons, and plates enchanted the princess. But she was very tired and hungry. She ate a small piece of bread and a little soup she found on the table. Then she lay down on one of the seven little beds and fell into a deep sleep. After some time, the seven dwarfs, the owners of the house, returned from the mine singing happily. Happy, Grumpy, Curious, Shy, Clumsy, Wise, and Sleepy noticed something was wrong the moment they entered. Someone has entered our house. Curious began exploring the house right away. When Clumsy entered the bedroom, he found Snow White sleeping in one of the beds. Just then, the princess opened her eyes. She was scared at first when she saw seven tiny men. But soon, she realized they meant no harm and felt relieved. She apologized for entering their home and told them everything that had happened. The dwarfs were saddened by her story and promised to protect her from the evil queen. But they had one condition. While they were at the mine, she should never open the door to strangers. Meanwhile, at the palace, Queen Hela stood proudly before her magic mirror again. From the mirror, she learned that Snow White was still alive and safe in the dwarfs' house. Blinded by rage, she decided she must handle the matter herself. At dawn, she used a purple potion to turn herself into a cute little rabbit and went to the dwarfs' house. When Snow White saw the rabbit hopping as if it were hurt, she felt sorry for it and let it inside. While the princess wasn't looking, Hela changed back into her true form and dripped a silent, deadly poison onto the pillow, then slipped away unseen. That evening, just as Snow White was about to lay her head on the pillow, the dwarfs returned from the mine. Snow White happily ran to greet them. That night, they all danced and had fun together by the warm fireplace. After that, they fell asleep on the soft cushions in front of the fire, tired but happy. And so, the poison on the pillow faded away and disappeared. The queen, unaware of all this, stood before her magic mirror again the next day. Mirror, mirror on the wall, is there anyone more beautiful than me? Yes, my queen. Snow White, who lives in the dwarfs' house, is more beautiful than you. Queen Hela couldn't believe her ears and became furious. With a new potion, she turned herself into an old woman with a wrinkled face. She prepared a basket full of bright red apples, but filled the most beautiful, reddest one with deadly poison. Then, she went to the dwarfs' house and knocked on the door. Snow White remembered the dwarfs' warning, but she felt sorry for the tired old woman she saw through the door and opened it. The old woman offered the apples to the princess. Snow White couldn't resist the shiny red apples and took the one the witch offered. She took a big, eager bite. But the poison worked instantly, and Snow White collapsed before she could even swallow. The old woman walked away, laughing wickedly in victory. Meanwhile, a handsome prince traveling from faraway lands saw the old woman while riding through the deep forest. He was about to ask if she needed help when she suddenly changed into the evil queen Hela in a flash of light. The prince grew suspicious and understood she was up to something evil, so he decided to follow her. When the seven dwarfs returned home, they found Snow White lying on the ground, lifeless. They called out to her, but the princess did not wake up. They were heartbroken and cried for days. They couldn't bring themselves to bury her. Instead, they gently placed her in a glass coffin and set it on the country's longest river. A prince riding his white horse along the river noticed the glass coffin floating in a small boat. He followed it for a while. When he saw Snow White's beautiful face inside, his heart began to beat faster. He stopped his horse and walked to the coffin as it touched the riverbank. Believing this lovely princess had died, the prince sadly took out his stardust necklace and placed it gently around her neck. When the prince's tears fell onto Snow White's face, a miracle happened. She slowly opened her eyes. Snow White had returned to life through the magic of true love. When she saw the handsome prince before her, she thanked him with all her heart. The prince and Snow White went straight to the king's castle and told everyone what had happened. When the king learned what Queen Hela had done, he banished her from the castle. He shattered her magic mirror and sent the broken pieces away. As the queen lived in poverty, she finally understood that doing evil brings no reward. But it was far too late for her. Snow White and the prince held a grand wedding that lasted three days and three nights and they lived happily ever after.
