One day, the queen asked the mirror, but it said, ”Snow
White is the most beautiful of all.” She was very angry and
started making plans to get rid of Snow White. The evil queen
ordered a servant to slay Snow White in the forest. The
servant, feeling sorry for Snow White, let her go and brought
back a deer’s heart to show the queen that he had done the
deed.
Snow White, alone and hungry in the forest, came across

dwarfs. The evil queen disguised herself and went to the
cottage. She gave Snow White (f) a poisoned apple. When
Snow White took a bite of it, she fell down unconscious. The

One day, a prince came by and saw how beautiful Snow

married and lived happily ever after.
