The Magic Mirror
Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a beautiful queen. She had a magical mirror that knew all about beauty. Every day, this queen, proud as can be of her looks, would stand before it and ask, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?”
The Birth of Snow-White
Not long after, this queen was blessed with a daughter named Snow-White, as pure and lovely as fresh winter snow. Even the mirror couldn’t deny her beauty, telling the queen, “You, my queen, are the fairest one of all.”
The Green-Eyed Monster
Sadly, envy took root in the queen’s heart. She couldn’t stand her own daughter’s growing beauty and decided something must be done. So, she ordered her huntsman, “Take Snow-White into the forest and make sure she never comes back.”
The Kind Huntsman
Deep in the heart of the forest, the huntsman, with a heavy heart and tears in his eyes, looked down at Snow-White. He knew what he had to do. “Run away, my dear, and never return,” he whispered, setting her free. As she ran, he shot an arrow into a tree, convincing himself he had done the deed. Heading back, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had just altered the course of his life.
The Seven Dwarfs
Snow-White, lost and afraid, stumbled upon a quaint little cottage after hours of wandering. To her surprise, it was home to seven dwarfs, each with their own quirky personality. Despite their initial shock at finding her, they quickly grew fond of Snow-White. They offered her shelter, asking only for help keeping their home tidy. Grateful, she agreed, finding solace and warmth in their company.
The Wicked Queen’s Return
Meanwhile, the queen, her heart as cold as ice, consulted her magic mirror once again. “Snow-White still lives, the fairest in the land,” it sneered. Enraged, she concocted a sinister plan. Disguised as an old peddler woman, she approached the dwarfs’ cottage with a basket of apples, one of which was laced with a sleeping poison. “Try this delicious apple, dear girl,” she cackled, offering the poisoned fruit to Snow-White. Innocent and unsuspecting, Snow-White accepted the gift and took a bite. No sooner had she swallowed than she fell into a deep, cursed sleep. The queen, thinking she had finally won, vanished into the mist.
The Prince’s Arrival
After many days and nights, Prince Aladdin, on his noble steed, rode through the dense forest. His journey had been long, filled with tales of a maiden fairer than the stars. Upon reaching the quaint cottage, his eyes fell upon Snow-White, lying in a peaceful slumber, as if cradled by the very essence of tranquility itself. The dwarfs, with heavy hearts, recounted the tale of deceit and a poisoned apple. Listening intently, Prince Aladdin’s heart sank. A mix of sorrow and determination filled his soul.
The Wicked Queen’s Downfall
With a fiery resolve, Prince Aladdin set out to confront the malevolent queen. Legends of her wickedness had traveled far, but fear found no home in Aladdin’s heart. In a land shadowed by her tyranny, he found her, cloaked in darkness. A battle ensued, fierce and unyielding. Aladdin, driven by righteous fury and a yearning for justice, emerged victorious. Thus, the reign of terror wrought by the queen was brought to a swift end. Peace once again graced the land, as if a suffocating veil had been lifted.
Snow-White’s Awakening
Returning to the cottage, Prince Aladdin, brimming with hope, approached Snow-White. With a tender gaze, he lifted her hand, whispering words of love and devotion. As if guided by the unseen forces of love itself, Snow-White’s eyes fluttered open, meeting Aladdin’s gaze. Her first breath was like the dawn of a new day, full of promise and new beginnings. In a ceremony that united not just two souls but the hearts of all who attended, they were wed. Love, pure and true, had triumphed over darkness.
As night falls and stars twinkle in the sky, let this tale of courage, love, and triumph be a lullaby to your dreams. May you always find strength in goodness and light in the face of darkness. Sweet dreams, until tomorrow brings another adventure.
