Alright, my little one, snuggle up close because tonight, I’m going to tell you the magical tale of a princess, a wicked queen, and the power of kindness.
Once upon a time, in a kingdom nestled in the heart of a forest, there lived a beautiful young princess named Snow White. Her skin was as fair as snow, her lips as red as a rose, and her hair as black as ebony. She lived with her stepmother, the Queen, who was very jealous of Snow White’s beauty.
The Queen had a magical mirror that she would speak to every day. “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” she would ask. And every time, the mirror would answer, “You are the fairest, my Queen.“
But one day, as Snow White grew older, the mirror spoke differently. “You, my Queen, are fair, it is true. But Snow White is a thousand times fairer than you.“
The Queen was furious. She could not stand the thought of anyone being more beautiful than her, so she ordered a huntsman to take Snow White deep into the forest and never return.
But when the huntsman saw Snow White’s kind heart, he couldn’t bring himself to harm her. Instead, he let her go, and Snow White ran deeper into the woods, all alone, until she found a tiny cottage.
Inside, the cottage was cozy and warm, and there were seven little beds lined up. These beds belonged to the seven dwarfs—Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Happy. They worked in the mines all day, and they welcomed Snow White with open arms.
“Stay with us, dear Snow White,” they said. “You’ll be safe here.”
Snow White lived happily with the dwarfs, singing and dancing in the forest. But the Queen, still furious, found out that Snow White was still alive when she asked the mirror once again, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?“
To her dismay, the mirror replied, “You are fair, my Queen, but Snow White, the fairest, still lives, and her beauty shines in the hearts of all.“
Determined to be the fairest once again, the Queen disguised herself as an old woman and made a poisoned apple. She went to the cottage where Snow White was staying and tricked her into taking a bite.
The moment Snow White bit into the apple, a chilling silence fell over the forest. As if frozen by an unseen hand, she collapsed into a deep, deep sleep, her body as still as a statue. The dwarfs returned to the cottage, their hearts breaking as they tried everything they could think of—gentle whispers, magic spells, even the warmest of tears—but nothing worked. Snow White remained untouched by the world, trapped in the spell’s powerful grip.
The days turned into weeks, and though the dwarfs kept watch, hope seemed lost. That is, until one fateful day. A prince, who had heard tales of Snow White’s beauty and kindness, journeyed far to find her. He came upon the little cottage, where he saw Snow White lying there, as if caught between life and death. He gazed upon her face—so peaceful, so angelic—and in that moment, he knew that his heart belonged to her.
He knelt beside her, his heart racing, and with a soft sigh, he gently kissed her lips, as if giving her all the love he had in his soul.
And then—POOF! Like a dream breaking free from the night, Snow White’s eyelids fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. The magic of true love had broken the curse, and in that instant, she awoke, her eyes sparkling with the light of a thousand stars. Her heart was filled with joy, and the deep sleep she had endured was finally over.
The Queen, who had been so blinded by envy and hatred, realized the depth of her evil. Her wicked spell shattered, and she vanished, never to be seen again.
Snow White, now free, was united with her prince. The two were married in a grand celebration, with the kingdom rejoicing in the love that had triumphed over darkness. The couple danced under the stars, surrounded by their friends and loved ones.
And so, Snow White and her prince lived happily ever after, proving that kindness, love, and the magic within our hearts are the truest forms of beauty in the world.
Now, my little one, what do you think? If you were Snow White, would you have trusted the huntsman to let you go? Would you have believed in love’s power to break the spell?
Snow White's Song 🌸
In a forest deep and dark,
Where dreams were lost, and stars would spark,
A princess lay, both pure and bright,
With skin so fair, like snow’s first light.
A wicked Queen with jealousy,
Wished Snow White’s beauty, none could see.
But kindness shines through every test,
And love brings forth what’s truly best.
A kiss of love, so sweet, so true,
Brought Snow White back to life anew.
The Queen was gone, her spell undone,
And Snow White’s heart, it shone like sun.
So let us learn from Snow White’s grace,
True beauty lies in every place.
It’s kindness, love, and joy we bring,
And in our hearts, the angels sing. 💖

Origin of Snow White: The story of Snow White originated from Germany. It was popularized by the Brothers Grimm, who included it in their famous collection of fairy tales published in 1812. However, Snow White’s tale existed in different forms long before that, with many regional versions throughout Europe.
The Queen’s Jealousy: The Queen’s magical mirror is a symbol of vanity and the obsession with one’s outward appearance, reflecting how some people value external beauty over inner virtues. The mirror’s phrase, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” is one of the most iconic lines from the story and has been referenced in many modern works.
Snow White’s Cultural Variations: While Snow White is most widely known from the German version, the story exists in many cultures, each with slight differences. In some versions, the dwarfs are replaced by other mythical creatures, while in others, the Queen’s jealousy may be less pronounced, and Snow White’s rescue involves other means.
Snow White’s Disney Movie: The Disney animated version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was the first full-length animated feature film, and it remains one of the most beloved classics in animation history. It was groundbreaking at the time for its animation techniques, voice acting, and music.
The Role of the Dwarfs: In the original fairy tale, the seven dwarfs are portrayed as hardworking miners, but their personalities vary slightly depending on the version. They were later popularized in the Disney movie, where each dwarf had a distinctive trait, such as Grumpy, Happy, and Dopey.
