The Story of Snow White

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away.....

"Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work we go"


there lived an evil queen who figured she was the fairest of them all.



Every day for years, she would stand in front of her magic mirror and ask,"mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"


And the mirror, perhaps in fear, would dutifully answer, "I guess you are, your highness."



Now, within the castle, there also lived a young maiden named Snow White, who was growing into a fine, ripe young girl.

(Snow White)

Her only dream was that one day, a charming prince would come and take her away with him to live happily ever after.

(Someone like him)

Eventually, the magic mirror could lie no more. On this day, the evil queen asked, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"

The mirror replied, "It is Snow White who is the fairest of them all."



In a fury, the evil queen banished Snow White from the castle to some remote place, which was out of favor with the castle, on the far side of the river.



Thus, she (the evil queen) would reclaim her place as the fairest of them all. Yet every time she asked the mirror, the reply was the same; "It is Snow White who is the fairest of them all."



Then one day, the evil queen decided to get rid of Snow White once and for all. She drank a magic potion that turned her into an old hag and went in search of Snow White. After a long search, Snow White was found.

Poor Snow White was so grossed out by the old hag that she collapsed and died on the spot.



There was great sadness in the land.



The legend grew, however, that one day, a charming prince would find Snow White and bring her back to life with one of his magic kisses, and that he and Snow White would live happily ever after.

Well, one day, a charming prince heard the legend of Snow White and decided to find out what all the commotion was about.




So it came to pass that the charming prince arrived at Snow White's resting place on his noble steed, Camilla.



Would this be the magic moment..........?


"No thanks, Prince. I think I'll just stay here."

As for the evil queen, she was banished from the land, given a meaningless job, destined to fly aimlessly around the world, treated with disdain wherever she landed.



Eventually, however, life at the castle settled back to normal.

(l-r) Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Dopey, Happy, Bashful
"Heigh ho, heigh ho. It's off to work we go"

And they all lived happily ever after (at least the people in the castle).
