Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
A tale of the brothers Grimm read by EXxi Sand
Once, it was the middle of winter and the
snow flakes fell from the sky like feather...
At a window with a frame of Ebony
a Queen sat and sound. And at she sound
and looked out the window, she picked
her finger with the needle and three
drops of blood fell in the snow. "Oh what
a lovely sight! If only I had a child
with skin white as snow, lips as red as blood
and hair as black as Ebony wood"...
Soon afterward, the gentle Queen gave
birth to a little daughter, who was as
white as snow, as red as blood and as
black as ebony wood. She was called Snow White
but last, shortly after the little
one arrived, the Queen became ill.
She could not get better and soon she died
leaving the King devastated and little
Snow White without a mother
A year passed and the King took for himself
a new wife. The new queen was the most
beautiful woman in all the land and very
proud of her beauty. She had a wonderful
mirror and when she stood in front of it
and looked in it and said: "Mirror mirror
on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?"
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who in this land is the fairest one of all?"
" In all the land mine, from this castle to the jungle for long time.... You are the fairest one of all"
And so the Queen knew for certain that no one in the
world was more beautiful than she
And year after year the mirror would say:
In all the land mine, .... You are the fairest one of all"
Then Snow White had her seventh birthday
And the Queen stood before the mirror once more
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who in this land is
the fairest one of all?" - "You, My Queens are fair, It's true, for the long time...
But Little Snow White is now more thousand times fairer than you!"
What? my own stepdaughter?
Fairer than I? I hate her. she is more beautiful than I!
The Queen became pale with envy. Whenever she
looked at Snow White, she hated her and
wondered if she would ever again be the
most beautiful in all the land.
This turned her heart cold and barren.
For 10 years, her jealousy gave her no peace
Finally on the eve of Snow White's 18th
birthday, she summoned the Huntsman
"Take Snow White into the forest, find a lonely spot
and shoot an arrow through her heart.
As proof that she is dead bring
her heart back to me. But Your Majesty?
As proof that she is dead, bring her
heart back to me! I hunger for it!
But Snow White is the beloved jewel of the
kingdom! - Silence! if you do not obey my
command, you shall die. I will obey your Majesty!
The very next day the Huntsman
took Snow White deep into the forest
The unsuspecting girl wandered into a
clearing, where she sang a delicate song
while picking flowers. The Huntsman
stepped behind the tree and waited until
Snow White turned her back to him then
raising an arrow to his bow and pulling
it back to his open eye. He cleared of the
princess with his heavier heart
as he had ever felt.
Many moments passed as his arm tremble
He couldn't hold it no longer. With a hat
wrenching shout, he shot the arrow
It streaked through the air on its deadly
flights and slammed loudly into a tree
Snow White cringed in terror.
The Huntsman had missed. Go my child you must
run away and never return the Queen
wants you dead but I cannot do it! Go!
Snow White ran into the forest
The Huntsman killed a wild pig and cut out
its heart. He took it back to the Queen
and made her believe it was the heart of
Snow White. That night the Huntsman
slipped out of the kingdom to hide in
the forest never to return.
Meanwhile Snow White was alone in the Great forest
as a storm fill the night sky with a
howling wind. "How could this happen to me?
My step mother wants me to die
The Hunt man save my life only let me die in the forest
I'm lost ... And my world is cold
"But time comes pass, Now I'm on my own at last, ... (sing)
(She's singing ...)
(singing ...)
Why did my step mum, show me such stain?
Now it looks like going to rain ...
Beauty has a cost, Look at things I've lost
I'm a princess but no prince to share my throne
No home, no friends and now I'm all alone
I've never been so free, with the dog is scaring me ...
Don't be scare Snow White!
I must go on
In this forest by the seven ... I find a new life ...
(singing ...)
(singing)
She climbed over stone that slashed like the
claws of terrible beasts, everywhere she
looked dangerous appear. Every way she turned seemed
more frightening than the last
Rain drenched her in a tremendous downpour as
the sky roared with thunder and lightning
She could feel the dark shadow of doom
closing in on her. Snow White cried out,
and fell to the ground with a feeble effort
she lifted her head and spied and
opening to a small cave just beyond a great tree
With her last bit of strength,
she crawled into the cave and hid from the storm
Overcome by exhaustion,
she curled up and fell asleep ...
Dawn woke the forest to the song of the birds
and Snow White was soon awake.
A whole world was stirring to life
And the young woman was glad to feel some of her fears slip away
She stepped out of the cave
Thick trees stood like a wall round her, as she moved
between them, she stumbled upon a path
she walked along it full of hope
until she came to a clearing. There stood a
strange cottage with a tiny door,
tiny windows and a tiny chimney up
Everything about the cottage was much tinier than it ought to be
Snow white went to the door
and pushed it open. Bending over so
she could fit under the ceiling
She found it to be a cozy home with a table
all set with seven places for a meal.
I wonder who lives here? what tiny plates!
and spoons, there must be seven of them
the tables laid for seven people.
Seven very little people. Upstairs was a
bedroom with seven little beds. The house
was warm, friendly, and charming, but
hardly neat. Everywhere she looked,
there was some chore that needed doing.
"Whoever lives here needs help keeping it neat
and clean. I shall clean this house
and cook a delicious meal for seven owners
and perhaps they'll let me stay
here for a while." She set to work
cleaning the cottage, with a delicate and
happy touch, she worked until the house
came to life, pans were polished, floors
swept and linen changed, cobwebs were brushed away
clothes hung in their closets
and windows were wiped clean as
crystal water. Then there was the food
Snow White seasoned up a stew
that's simmered so deliciously through the house
and into the forest that even the
most timid animals came close to the
tiny cottage. Soon Snow White made
friends with these animals large and
small. The clearing around the cottage
was filled with the sounds of birds
squirrels, rabbits, frogs, deer and the
tiny mice that live in holes near the
banks of streams. Little by little
Snow White felt less alone. As she looked
around the cottage admiring her work
her eyelids felt heavy, and she thought how
nice it would be to take a small nap
before the tiny people returned.
" I'll just sleep for a few moments so I'll be
better company when I meet them"
So she climbed the stairs to the bedroom, lay
across several tiny beds and drifted off to sleep
Some distance from the clearing
round the cottage about an hour's march
through the trees, lay the 7 Jul mountains
Deep inside these mountains
was a diamond mine, inside this mine were
seven hardworking jolly little dwarfs
who toil each day digging for diamonds...
These seven dwarfs lived in the cottage
was no wife slept. They took great pride
in their work and great pleasure in each other's company.
"Swing your hick can crack that rock
Look inside and what have you got...
A diamond is on my foot! What I done!
(They sing ... We mine them in the mines)
As the day was coming to an end, the long march home had to be started
Carrying their pickaxes and shovels
they made their way
as they had a thousand times before:
through the forest and back to their home...
It's your feet men keep in line
they were always pleased to see their
little cottage but this time it looked magical
Candlelight gently shimmered
through the windows. The chimney spewed a
calm stream of smoke and the smell of a
simmering stew put them into a trance ...
They stood in the clearing with their mouths wide open
not sure whether to be frightened or pleased!
What happened to our home?
it's never ever look like this before
And what is that delicious smell? - Careful men!
it could be a trap! - Only one way to find out
So, slowly but surely, They crept toward the house ...
They open the door ...
And could not believe their eyes ...
The cottage gleamed, everything was exactly where it should be
"A place for everything and everything in its place"!
As they gingerly explored each corner of the cottage
The littlest one found his way up to the
bedroom, he bolted out barely able to
contain himself and waved frantically to the rest of them.
- Come here, come look!
someone to sleep in our beds!
The Seven Dwarves fetch their seven candles and
all came running. They took one look at
the sleeping Snow White and cried out with amazement !!
Oh! she is as lovely as can be!
Well, let's wake her up and find out
what she's up to! "- No, let her sleep!
she's earned it".
So patiently and with great reverence, they all sat around
and watched her sleep amazed and touched by her gentle beauty
Finally, after an hour or so, she stirred
Snow White put her hands up to rub her eyes
When she pulled her hands down
She was startled to see the seven tiny men
"Oh! you're here. I'm Snow White, I hope you
don't mind that I made myself at home
here in your charming little house
They stared at her for several seconds
without saying a word
Can you talk?
Why sure we can talk, and may we ask how you
made our home so bright?
- "And where's the dirt I got on the floor last year?
- and what about the twigs in my pillow?
- where's the pie I hid behind a cupboard?
They spent the night asking all their questions ...
Snow white told them how the
Queen had tried to kill her and how the
Huntsman had spared her life ...
The dwarves pitied her, shocked that anyone could
even think of trying to kill
such a sweet and beautiful girl !
- You may stay here as long as you like! as long as ever
you like! and longer to, our house is your house
And your house is this house, the
whole house and all the pots and pans
and curtains too. Each day while we work
in the mines, you can work here at the house.
It has never looked this wonderful, not ever
Does that suit you? - oh but of course!
that is a wonderful idea
I shall make it a perfect house!
You'll be alone in the house each day when we're gone,
Do not let anyone come in, there will be no
one to save you. - I won't let a soul inside.
I promise!
The next morning, the Seven Dwarves said goodbye to Snow White
and marched off to the diamond mines for a hard day's work
Back in the palace, the Queen was glowing
with confidence that she was once again
the most beautiful in the land
She strode to the mirror and asked the
question she was sure she knew the answer to.
- Mirror mirror on the wall,
who in this land is the fairest one of all?
- In a forest, in the cottage ...
owned by 7 dwarves, in my shadow of the Sun Jul mountain...
Little Snow White is still a thousand times fairer than you!
Slowly, the mirrors words seeped into her brain
and with each passing second the
Queen's blood boiled hotter and her rage grew deeper !
Get me the Huntsman! get him for me now!
The servants scurried off to
do their Queens bidding. While she
grabbed the box, which supposedly
contains Snow White's heart.
She looked at it carefully. - This is the heart of a pig,
not Snow White's
Where is the Huntsman? - Gone, my Majessy.
No one seen him since he took the princess into the forest
Huntsman has betrayed me !
Get out! leave me alone. For the Queen
there would be no peace. She would not rest
until once more the mirror declared her
the most beautiful woman in all the land.
Snow White will die, if it costs me my own life!
At last she thought of what to do...
She disguised herself as an old peddler
woman and painted her face so that
no one would recognize her
Then she went into her most secret room deep in the caverns,
beneath the castle ...
Into a great black cauldron, she poured a
deadly liquid ocean, the fire draw and the ocean boil
steam built the carven with the flour smell of sinister magic
(the Queen's singing ...) Now watch this!
(the Queen's singing ...)
I'll bring and give to Little Snow White
and She will sleep forever...
(singing...)
Snow White you will be cold! Soon you'll be cold!
Snow White, the Queen come to hisses you!
The next day, as the Queen traveled into
the forest, the wind began to howl
through the trees, but so single-minded
was her hatred of Snow White that she's special notice
Finally she reached the door of the cottage
- Who is it?
- Just an old peddler woman selling her wits
I brought with me today some very beautiful apples, my deer!
Snow White peeked out through the window
- I'm not allowed to let anyone in
The dwarves have forbidden it's most severely
- if you don't want to, I can't force you
but you have a kind face
so I will just leave one here on your doorstep
for you to put in a pie!
I can't accept anything, the dwarfs don't want me to
But Snow White saw the old
peddler woman walking away toward the trees
The unsuspecting girl threw open
the door and picked up the shiny red apple
- Oh thank you kindly dear old woman
I will gladly accept your sweet offer!
It is nothing but my pleasure dear!
What an lovely apple, it is?
Snow White bit into the poison apple
she barely had the bite in her mouth
when she fell to the ground in a sleep of death ...
The Queen was beside herself
with glee cackling like a witch
and gloating over the sweet girl's body
More beautiful than I? ha!
Now who is the fairest in all the land ?
And with the poor girl dead on the ground between
headed back to her catty but now she
began to notice the building storm
louder and louder to the winds howl and
the thunder and lightning crackles
fear crept into her mind as it became
harder to follow the path out of the
forest she began to run in a frenzy
thrashing her way through branches and
thorns by the flashes of lightning
someone was watching high atop a stone
mountain the Huntsman had made his ID
away he spied the Queen as she ran
through the forest below now frightened
beyond her wits she ran hoping to find
her way back to the castle the Huntsman
saw her every stay the Thunder Lord the
rain was a blanket of water a lightning
bolt flash and the Queen saw the
Huntsman against the sky she watched in
terror as he drew back his bowstring and
a feather touch human the Huntsman
released his arrow it streaks on a
deadly pass right into the heart of the
Evil Queen she dropped dead on the spot
the Huntsman rain pouring from his brow
stood still on the mountain staring
silently at his prey as the last breath
left the Queen's body Snow White stirred
on the ground and opened her eyes she
SAT up in confusion and blinked at the
storm that howled around the little
cottage the sleeping spell was broken
dreams where am i what cottage is this
so far away from home we must find my
way back again Snow White made her way
across the clearing and headed into the
forest while the storm raged around her
she crept along beneath the swaying
trees never straying from the path
toward home she left from stone to stone
and crossed the rushing stream rain
soaked and chilled by the wind she
followed the winding path through the
trees neither afraid nor confused Snow
White thought only of her home in the
castle where her father was king she
walked through the night as the storm
died away by Sunrise the forest rejoiced
at the sight of Snow White when she
reached the castle all the people were
overjoyed to see her alive and well a
