Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (English Version) : Part 2

So the Queen painted her face, and disguised herself as a poor old pedlar selling ribbons and stays. She walked to the forest, and to the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs where Snow White was busy with her daily chores. The Queen knocked at the door of the cottage and called, 'Stays for sale, ribbons for sale!' Snow White peeped out of the window and not recognizing her stepmother, thought, 'I might let this harmless old woman in.' The stepmother, seeing Snow White, held up a pair of colourful stays and called, 'Come dear, let me lace these up for you.' Snow White opened the door and let her in. The stepmother, pretending to do the stays, laced them so tightly that Snow White fell to the floor as though dead. Chuckling gleefully, the Queen hurried back to the palace, sure that she was now the fairest of them all.

That evening when the dwarfs came home, they found Snow White lying as though dead on the floor. They raised her up, and saw that her stays were too tight. They quickly cut the stays and soon Snow White opened her eyes and sat up. She told the dwarfs all that had happened. 'That old woman was none other than your stepmother the Queen,' they cried. 'Don't let her in again.'

Meanwhile the Queen reached the palace, and running up to her room pulled out her magic mirror and asked, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
The mirror replied as before:

You were the fairest, lady Queen
Snow White is fairest now, I ween.
In a cottage with the Seven Dwarfs
She lives amid the forest green.

The Queen was furious, and determined to go back to the cottage again to kill Snow White. This time she disguised herself as an old pedlar woman selling combs. She used some magic spells she knew, and poisoned one of the combs. Then she found her way as before to the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs and knocked at the door. Snow White peeped out and said, 'I can't let you in.' But the pedlar woman persisted and called to her to at least see the pretty combs she had. She held up the poisoned one, which was the prettiest. 'Come let me comb your hair for you,' she called. Snow White, thinking there could be no harm in a comb, agreed and let her in. As soon as the comb touched her hair, she fell upon the floor as though dead. Once again, chuckling with glee, the Queen left her lying there and ran back to her palace, sure that this time she had indeed killed Snow White.

As before, when the dwarfs came back, they saw Snow White lying as though dead upon the floor. They saw the comb stuck in her hair and pulled it out. At once Snow White opened her eyes and sat up. 'That old woman was your stepmother,' cried the dwarfs. 'Next time don't let her in.'

Meanwhile the Queen reached the palace, and running up to her room pulled out her magic mirror as before and asked, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
The mirror replied as before:

You were the fairest, lady Queen
Snow White is fairest now, I ween.
In a cottage with the Seven Dwarfs
She lives amid the forest green.

The Queen stamped her foot in anger. Then she thought and she thought and at last came up with a plan she thought was bound to succeed. She took a rosy apple and poisoned it, all except the core. Then, the next morning, disguising herself once more as an old pedlar selling apples, she found her way to the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs and knocked upon the door. 'No, I cannot let you in,' said Snow White. 'I have some lovely apples,' cried the pedlar. 'See, I'll give you one. You eat the rosy cheeks, and I'll eat the core.' And the stepmother took out the poisoned apple, polished it and cutting it up, ate the core, which was not poisoned. Snow White, seeing that she came to no harm, and tempted by the apple, took a bite of the proffered piece - and at once fell to the floor as though dead. This time the Queen was sure her plan had worked.

That evening when the dwarfs came home, they found Snow White lying on the floor as though dead. This time they could not revive her, no matter what they did.

And that evening, when the Queen pulled out her mirror and asked, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?", the mirror answered, " You are the fairest, lady Queen."

The dwarfs, meanwhile, wept and wept over Snow White. She looked so pretty even in death that they did not have the heart to bury her. So they built a casket of glass, and placed her in it, and set the casket upon a ledge of rock in the forest. One of the dwarfs always remained by the casket, watching.
One day a prince came riding by, and seeing the beautiful maiden lying as though asleep in the casket, he fell in love with her.

'Give me the casket,' he said to the dwarfs. 'I cannot live without Snow White, and will take good care of her as long as I live.'


The dwarfs, seeing that the prince was really in love, agreed. The Prince ordered the casket to be carried away by his attendants. Now the men carrying the casket stumbled, and jolted the casket. The piece of poisoned apple in Snow White's mouth fell out, and Snow White sighed, opened her eyes and sat up. The prince and the dwarfs were overjoyed, and soon it was agreed that the prince would marry Snow White.

A great wedding was arranged in which everyone from far and wide was invited. Snow White's stepmother was also invited. Just before she left for the wedding, dressed in her finest clothes, she stepped before the mirror and asked:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?

The mirror answered:

You were the fairest, lady Queen
The Prince's bride is more fair, I ween.

At this the Queen was furious, and left at once for the wedding to see for herself the bride who was so fair. Imagine her shock when she saw that the bride was Snow White!

Just then a pair of red hot iron shoes was brought and set down before her, and these she was forced to put on and to dance until she fell down dead.
