In a mid-winter, when
snow fell from the sky like feathers, a queen sat sewing near the window. Wood
frame used to embroider ebony-black. While embroidering, the Queen looked at
the snow and pricked her finger accidentally by a needle so that the three
drops of blood falling wet snow. When he saw how bright red color, he said to
himself, "I wish to have a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as
black as ebony wood!".
Not long after that,
the queen gave birth to a daughter whose skin is white as snow, lips red as red
as blood, and hair black as black as ebony wood, and had named Snow White. When
her daughter was born, the queen had died.
After a year had
passed, the king married again with a very beautiful woman, but proud and happy
when there are not exceeding beauty. The new queen had a magic mirror, where
the Queen often stood looking into the mirror and say:
"Mirror on the
wall, Who is fairest among all?"
And the mirror always
replied, "You are the fairest of them all".
And the Queen was
satisfied, knowing that the magic mirror never tell lies.
Snow White is now
growing more and more beautiful, and when he was an adult, beauty far exceeds
the beauty of the Queen herself. So that one day when the queen asked her
mirror:
"Mirror on the
wall, Who is fairest among all?"
The mirror answered,
"Queen, you are beautiful, but Snow White is more beautiful than
you."
The Queen was shocked
and her face color to yellow and then green by jealousy, and since then, he
turned to hate Snow White. The longer, jealousy grew, until he did not have
peace again. He then ordered a hunter to destroy Snow White.
"Bring Snow to a
forest, so that I would never see it again. You have to destroy it and bring me
her heart as proof.
The hunter agreed,
bring Snow White to a forest; but when he drew his sword, Snow cried, and said:
"O, hunter, do not
kill me, I will go and get into the wild, and will not come back again."
Hunters who put a pity,
said:
"Go then, the
daughter of the poor;" because the hunter thought that wild animals will
eat Snow White, and when he let go of Snow White, her heart became lighter as
if freed from gencetan heavy stone. At that time also saw a wild boar passed,
and the hunter capture the wild boar and took out his heart to be brought to
the Queen as proof.
Snow White is now in
the wild, feel tremendous fear and do not know how to take action when fear
struck. Then she began to run, run over sharp rocks and ran through thorny
bushes and wild animals also mengerjarnya, but not to hurt Snow White. He ran
over his legs would carry it away, and when the night approached, he arrives in
a small house. Snow was entered into for the rest. Everything that was in the
house, the size is very small, but beautiful and clean. In the house there are
benches and tables are at the base with a white cloth, and on it there are
seven pieces of plate, dinner knife, fork and drinking cups. Near the wall,
seen seven small beds beds, side by side, and covered with white sheets as
well. Snow became very hungry and thirsty, ate from each plate a little
porridge and bread, and drank a little of each cup, so he does not spend one
plate only. Snow finally felt tired and lay down on the bed, but the bed is too
short, there is too long, fortunately, all seven beds that is in accordance
with his height; and he was asleep on the bed.
At nightfall, the
homeowner came home and they were seven dwarfs who work digging underground
tunnels in the mountains. When they lit seven candles that illuminate the
entire house, they realize that there are people who have entered into the
house because some things have changed places, not like when they leave the
house.
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 took my little bread?"
The fourth said,
"Who has been eating my porridge?"
The fifth said,
"Who has been using my fork?"
The sixth said,
"Who has been cutting with my knife?"
The seventh said,
"Who has been drinking from the cup?"
Then the first, looked
around the house and saw signs that his bed had been slept in, shouting,
"Who's been sleeping in my bed?"
And when the others
also came, they said, "Someone also been sleeping in my bed!"
When the seventh dwarf
saw his bed, he saw Snow White sleeping there, then he conveyed to another
dwarf, which came in a hurry to see Snow White, and in their shock, they each
raised the candle to see Snow White with more clear.
"Oh my God! They
said," Who is this beautiful princess? "And because they were excited
to see Snow White, they do not have the heart to wake him up. The seventh dwarf
had to sleep alternating with his friends, every one hour, in each of his bed
until the night had passed.
Towards morning, when
Snow White awoke and saw the seven dwarfs, Snow White becomes frightened, but
they look friendly and even asked for his name and how he can arrive at their
house. Snow also tells how her mother hoped that he died, how the hunter spared
her life, how she ran throughout the day, until arriving to their homes.
The dwarf then said,
"If you want to clean the house, cook, wash, tidy up the bed, sewing, and
set everything to keep it neat and clean, you can stay here, and you will not
lack anything."
"I strongly
disagree," Katan Princess Salu, and he was living in the house while
managing the house. On the morning of the dwarves to the mountain to dig for
gold, at night when they come home, they had prepared dinner. Each Snow left
alone, the dwarves are often advise:
"Be careful on
your stepmother, she'll know that you're here. Do not let anyone into the
house."
Queen who has seen
evidence of the death of Snow White in the form of heart, which is brought by
hunters, be quiet, standing in front of the mirror and say:
"Mirror on the
wall, Who is fairest among all?"
And the mirror
answered, "Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, Snow White who
lives in a small house along with the seven dwarves, a thousand times more
beautiful."
Ratu be surprised to
hear it, and he finally knew that the hunter had been tricked, and Snow White
is still alive. He also thought hard to kill Princess Salu, as long as he is
not the most beautiful woman among all, jealousy will not be able to make that
he can rest in peace. Finally, he was getting a plan, he disguises his face and
wearing clothing commonly worn by older women so that no one could recognize
him. In disguise, he went through seven mountains to finally arrive at the
house belonged to seven dwarfs. He knocked on the door and said:
"Good stuff for
sale! Great stuff for sale!"
Snow peeked through the
window and said:
"Good afternoon,
what are you selling?"
"Good stuff,"
he said, "Ribbon assorted colors" and he then handed a tape made of
silk.
"I do not need to
be afraid to let this old woman in," thought Snow White, and then he
opened the door and buy a beautiful ribbon.
"How beautiful you
are, my son!" the old woman said, "Come here and let me help you to
put this tape."
Snow unsuspecting,
standing in front of it and let the old woman pair ribbon for her, but the old
woman quickly strangle Snow with tape until Snow falls and as if dead.
"Now it's time for
you to stop as the most beautiful woman," said the old woman as she passed
away.
Not long after that,
towards evening, the dwarves come home, and they were all surprised to see Salu
daughter lying on the ground, not moving; they picked it up and when they saw
the tape wrapped around the neck of Snow White, they cut it off and then Snow
breathing again. When the dwarves heard the story of Snow White, they say,
"The old woman who
became a vendor, it must be none other than the evil queen, you should be
careful when we are not here!"
When the evil queen
arrives at the house and asked the Mirror:
"Mirror on the wall,
Who is fairest among all?"
The answer is the same
as before, "Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, Snow White who
lives in a small house along with the seven dwarves, a thousand times more
beautiful."
When he heard the
answer, he was surprised to know that Snow White is still alive.
"Now, I have to
think of other ways to destroy Snow White." And with his magic, he made a
comb containing toxins. Then he disguised as an old woman to another. Then go
across the seven mountains and came to the house of the seven dwarfs. He knocked
on the door and said,
"Good stuff for
sale! Great stuff for sale!"
Snow White looked out
and said,
"Go away, I'm not
going to let anyone in."
"But you are not
forbidden to look," said the old woman, taking out the poisoned comb and
holding it. The comb is very tempting Snow White so she finally opened the door
and buy a comb it, and then the old woman said:
"Now, your hair
should be combed with the right."
Poor Snow White does
not think that there mara-hazards, let the woman combing her hair, and shortly
thereafter, comb the poison began to work and Snow also fell without power.
"This is the end
for you," said the old woman as she passed. Fortunately it was almost
evening and the dwarves go home shortly after the incident. When they saw Snow
White lying on the ground as dead, they immediately think that this is an act
of evil stepmother. As soon as they pull comb the hair still attached in Snow
White and the time and even then Snow White awoke, and told all the events that
happened. The dwarf warned him to be careful again and never let people in.
When the queen arrived
home, he was standing in front of the mirror and say,
"Mirror on the
wall, Who is fairest among all?"
The answer is the same
as before, "Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, Snow White who
lives in a small house along with the seven dwarves, a thousand times more
beautiful."
When the queen heard
this, she was trembling with anger, "Snow White must die, though I also
have to die!" Then he went into his secret room where he makes a poison
apple. Apples are gorgeous and seductive, white and red. Anyone who saw it and
anyone tempted to eat it even though few, will die of poisoning. Apple when it
was ready, he himself is transformed back and dressed like a peasant woman, and
then he crossed the seven mountains where the seven dwarfs lived. And when he
knocked on the door, Snow White poked her head through the window and said,
"I dare not let
anyone in, the seven dwarfs have banned me."
"All right,"
said the woman, "I just wanted to give this to an apple."
"No," said
Snow White, "I do not dare to take anything."
"Are you afraid of
poison?" asked the woman, "Look, I'll divide this into two parts
apple, you'll get part of the red, white and my part."
Apples are made by
cleverly, so that part is a part that toxic red. Snow will be tempted by the
beauty of the apple, and when she saw the peasant woman eating apple parts,
Snow White becomes not take it anymore, he reached out and took part poisonous
apple. Not long after he ate the apple, he fell and seemed dead. The evil
Queen, laughed loudly and said,
"White as snow, as
red as blood, black as ebony! This time, the dwarf will not be able to turn you
back."
Then he went home and
asked her mirror,
"Mirror on the
wall, Who is fairest among all?"
The mirror answered,
"You are the fairest of them all".
Queen of hearts that
had been filled with jealousy, eventually became calm and happy.
The dwarves, while home
in the evening, found Snow White lying on the ground, and there was no more
breath coming out of his nose. They picked it up, looking toxins that kill Snow
White, ribbon cutting, combing hair, washing it with water and wine, but all in
vain, the poor daughter had died. They finally put Snow White in a box, and
they all sat down together, weeping for his death for three full days. Although
died, Princess snow looks as if still living with her cheeks flushed. The dwarf
then said,
"We're not going
to bury it in the ground is dark." Then they made a coffin made of clear
glass so that they can see Snow White on all sides. Snow was laid on the
coffin, and in crates then wrote the name Snow White with gold writing, along
with the story that she was the daughter of a king. Then they put the coffin on
the mountain, and one of them always stayed to watch. The birds come to visit
and condolences, which comes first is the owl, and the raven, then a dove.
For some time, Snow
White lying in a glass coffin and never changed, it looks as if sleeping. He
was still as white as snow, as red as blood, and hair black as ebony. Once a prince
through the forest leading to the dwarf house. When he saw the casket at the
top of the mountain along the beautiful Snow White in it, he became enamored,
and after he read the writing on the chest. He said to the dwarfs,
"Let me have the
coffin along with Snow White, I'll give you whatever you ask."
But the dwarf refused
and said that they did not want to part with Snow White although paid with gold
in the whole world. But the prince said,
"I asked him so
much, because I can not live without seeing Snow White; If you agree, I would
not necessarily take all of you and consider you like a brother."
When the prince spoke
earnestly, the dwarves be compassionate and give the Prince coffin containing
the Snow White and the Prince was summoned servants to lift the coffin into the
palace. On the way, a waitress tripped on bushes so that the crate is lifted
into shaken and slightly sloping. That's when a poisonous apple in Snow White's
throat, out of his mouth. Snow opened his eyes and opened the coffin lid, came
down and stood in a healthy state-sound.
"Oh, where I
am?" he asked. The Prince immediately answered with a cheerful heart,
"You're safe around me," and tell her everything that happened. The
Prince then said again,
"I prefer you
compare it to anything offered by the world; come along with me to the palace
of my father and be my bride."
Snow White is kind, go
with the prince and festive wedding is planned for both of them.
Snow White's stepmother
also invited to attend the party and when decorated in the mirror, he asked the
magic mirror:
"Mirror on the
wall, Who is fairest among all?"
The mirror answered,
"Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, the new bride is a thousand
times more beautiful."
The Queen became angry
and cursed because of disappointment, she almost canceled its attendance at the
wedding of Snow White, but curiosity made her keep going. When he saw the
bride, he became shocked because the bride is none other than Snow White. Anger
and fear mixed into one, and then also, the evil queen choked with rage, fell
and died, while Snow White and the prince, live happily ever after.
