SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS teach us the danger of vanity. The evil queen wants Snow White dead because she cannot accept the fact she is not the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. But it is this vanity that destroys her in the end. we need to know and accept our gifts as they are and not look at everyone else’s gifts.
snow-white being very hungry and thirsty, ate from each plate a little porridge
and bread and drink out of each little cup a drop of one so as not to finish up one
portion alone, that she felt so tired that she lay down on one of the beds
but it did not seem to suit her, one was too long another too short, but it lasts
the seventh was quite right, so she lay down upon it, committed herself to heaven
and fell asleep. when it was quite dark, the Masters of the house came home,
they were seven dwarfs whose occupation was to dig underground among
the mountains when they had lighted their seven candles, and it was quite light
in the little house, they saw that someone must have been in,
as everything was not in the same order in which they left it.
The first said: “who has been sitting in my little chair,” the second said:
“who has been eating from my little plate”, the third said: “who has been taking my
little loaf: the fourth said: “who has been tasting my porridge? the fifth said: “who has
been using my little fork”, the sixth said: “who has been cutting with my little
knife”, and the seventh said: “who has been drinking from my little cup”. Then the first
one looking around saw a hollow in his bed and cried: “hip has been lying on my bed,”
and the others came running in crying: “somewhat has been on our guides too”.
but when the seventh looked at his bed he saw little snow-white lying there asleep,
then he told the others who came running up crying out in their astonishment,
And holding up their seven little candles to throw a light upon snow-white.
“oh goodness, Oh gracious” they cried, what beautiful child is this, and were all
so full of joy to see her that they did not wake her but let her sleep on,
and the seventh dwarf slept with his comrades an hour at a time with each until
the night had passed. when it was morning, and Snow White awoke and saw that
the Seven Dwarves, she was very frightened, but they seemed quite friendly,
and after what her name was, she told them, and then they asked how
she came to be in their house, and she related to them how her stepmother
“I need not be afraid of letting in this good woman,” thought Snow White, and she
unbarred the door and bought the pretty lace “What a figure you are, child,”
said the old woman, “Come and then let me lace you properly for once.”
snow-white suspecting nothing, stood up before her and let her lace her
with the new lace, but the old woman left so quickly and tight that it took Snow White’s
a breath away, and she fell dead.
they raised her, and when they the lace in two and she began to draw breath
and little by little she returned to life.
when the dwarfs heard what had happened, they said: “the old peddler woman was
no other than the Wicked Queen، you must beware of letting anyone in when
we are not here. When the wicked woman got home, she went to her glass and said:
“looking-glass upon the wall who is fairest of us all”, and it answered as before
“Queen thou art of beauty rare but Snow White living in the Glen with the seven little
men are a thousand times fairer” When she heard that, she was so struck with
surprise that all the blood left her, for she knew that snow-white must still be living
“but now,” said she, “I will think of something that will be her ruin”, and bite witchcraft
she made a poisoned comb; then she dressed herself up to look like another different
sort of old woman, so she went across the seven mountains and came to the house
of the Seven Dwarfs and knocked at the door and cried: “Good wares to sell well
wares to sell” Snow-white looked out and said: “Go away I must not let anybody in.”
“oh, but you are not forbidden to look,” said the old woman, taking out the poisoned
comb and holding it up, it pleased the poor child so much that she was tempted to
open the door, and when the bargain was made, the old woman said:
“And now the once your hair shall be properly combed horse,” snow-white thinking
no harm, let the old woman do as she would, but no sooner was the comb put in her
the hair, then the poison began to work, and the poor girl fell senseless.
to where the Seven the door, snow-white put her head out of the window
and said: “I do not let anybody in.” The Seven Dwarves told me not to, “all right.”
answered the woman, “I can easily get rid of my apples elsewhere there
I will give you one,” no answer, it’s no lie, “I do not take anything are you afraid
of poison?” said the woman, “look here, I will cut the Apple in two
pieces, you shall have the red side, and I shall have the white side,” for the Apple was
so cunningly made that all the poison was in the rosy half of it, so how white longed
for the beautiful Apple, and as she saw the peasant woman eating a piece of it
she could no longer refrain but stretched out her hand and took the poisoned Apple,
but no sooner had she taken a morsel of it into her mouth than she fell to the earth
as dead, and the Queen casting on her a terrible glance, laughter loud and cried
“as white as snow, as red as blood, as black as ebony.” This time the dwarfs
will not be able to bring you to life again.
And then she went home and asked: “The looking-glass upon the wall, who is
fairest of us all” At last, it answered: “you are the fairest now of all”,
then her envious heart had peace as much as an envious heart.
in half the dwarfs, when they came home in the evening, found snow-white lying
on the ground, and there came no breath of her mouth, and she was dead,
they lifted her thought if anything poisonous was to be found, cut her laces,
combed her hair and washed her with water and wine, but all was of no avail,
the poor child was dead and remains dead.
then they laid her on a bier and sat all seven of them rounded and wept
and lamented three whole days, and then they would have buried her but that
she looked still as if she were living with her beautiful blooming cheeks, so they said:
“We cannot hide her away in the clear glass to be looked into from all sides
and they laid her in it and wrote in golden letters upon it her name, then they sacked
the coffin out upon the mountain, and one of them always remained by it to watch,
and the birds came too.
Then a raven and lastly a dub now for a and never changed but looked as if
she was asleep, for she was still as white as snow, as red as blood, and her hair
was as black as ebony. It happened, however, that one day a king’s son rode
through the woods and up to the dwarf’s house, which was near it, he saw
on the mountain, the coffin and beautiful Snow White within it, and he read
what was written in golden letters upon it, then he said to the doors
“let me have the coffin, and I will give you whatever you like to ask for it,”
but the dwarfs told him that they could not part with it for all the gold in the world.
But he said, “I beseech you to give it to me, for I cannot live without looking upon
Snow White”, “If you consent I will bring you to great honor and care for you as if
you were my brethren”. When he spoke so the good little Dwarfs pitied him
and gave him the coffin, and the king’s son called the servants they carry it away
on their shoulders. Now it happened that as they were going along, they stumbled
over a bush, and with the shaking, the bit of poisoned apple fell out of her throat,
it was not long before she opened her eyes, threw up the cover of the coffin
and sat up alive and well. “oh dear, where am I”? cried she, the king’s son, answered
full of joy “You are near me and relating all that has happened,” he said, “I would
rather have you than anything in the world, come with me to my father’s castle
and you shall be my bride”, and Snow White was kind and went with him, and there
the wedding was held with pomp and great splendor.
