SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARF

Once upon a time in a great castle, a Prince's daughter grew up happy and contented, in spite of a jealous stepmother. She was very pretty, with blue eyes and long black hair. Her skin was delicate and fair, and so she was called Snow White. Everyone was quite sure she would become very beautiful. Though her stepmother was a wicked woman, she too was very beautiful, and the magic mirror told her this every day, whenever she asked it. 

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the loveliest lady in the land?" The reply was always; "You are, your Majesty," until the dreadful day when she heard it say, "Snow White is the loveliest in the land." The stepmother was furious and, wild with jealousy, began plotting to get rid of her rival. Calling one of her trusty servants, she bribed him with a rich reward to take Snow White into the forest, far away from the Castle. Then, unseen, he was to put her to death. The greedy servant, attracted to the reward, agreed to do this deed, and he led the innocent little girl away. However, when they came to the fatal spot, the man's courage failed him and, leaving Snow White sitting beside a tree, he mumbled an excuse and ran off. Snow White was all alone in the forest. 
Night came, but the servant did not return. Snow White, alone in the dark forest, began to cry bitterly. She thought she could feel terrible eyes spying on her, and she heard strange sounds and rustlings that made her heart thump. At last, overcome by tiredness, she fell asleep curled under a tree. 
Snow White slept fitfully, wakening from time to time with a start and staring into the darkness round her. Several times, she thought she felt something, or somebody touch her as she slept. 
At last, dawn woke the forest to the song of the birds, and Snow White too, awoke. A whole world was stirring to life and the little girl was glad to see how silly her fears had been. However, the thick trees were like a wall round her, and as she tried to find out where she was, she came upon a path. She walked along it, hopefully. On she walked till she came to a clearing. There stood a strange cottage, with a tiny door, tiny windows and a tiny chimney pot. Everything about the cottage was much tinier than it ought to be. Snow White pushed the door open. 
"l wonder who lives here?" she said to herself, peeping round the kitchen. "What tiny plates! And spoons! There must be seven of them, the table's laid for seven people." Upstairs was a bedroom with seven neat little beds. Going back to the kitchen, Snow White had an idea. 
"I'll make them something to eat. When they come home, they'll be glad to find a meal ready." Towards dusk, seven tiny men marched homewards singing. But when they opened the door, to their surprise they found a bowl of hot steaming soup on the table, and the whole house spick and span. Upstairs was Snow White, fast asleep on one of the beds. The chief dwarf prodded her gently. 
"Who are you?" he asked. Snow White told them her sad story, and tears sprang to the dwarfs' eyes. Then one of them said, as he noisily blew his nose: 
"Stay here with us!" 
"Hooray! Hooray!" they cheered, dancing joyfully round the little girl. The dwarfs said to Snow White: 
"You can live here and tend to the house while we're down the mine. Don't worry about your stepmother leaving you in the forest. We love you and we'll take care of you!" Snow White gratefully accepted their hospitality, and next morning the dwarfs set off for work. But they warned Snow White not to open the door to strangers. 

"She must die! She must die!" she screamed. Disguising herself as an old peasant woman, she put a poisoned apple with the others in her basket. Then, taking the quickest way into the forest, she crossed the swamp at the edge of the trees. She reached the bank unseen, just as Snow White stood waving goodbye to the seven dwarfs on their way to the mine. 
Snow White was in the kitchen when she heard the sound at the door: KNOCK! KNOCK! 
"Who's there?" she called suspiciously, remembering the dwarfs advice. 
"I'm an old peasant woman selling apples," came the reply. 
"I don't need any apples, thank you," she replied. 
"But they are beautiful apples and ever so juicy!" said the velvety voice from outside the door. 
"I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said the little girl, who was reluctant to disobey her friends. 
"And quite right too! Good girl! If you promised not to open up to strangers, then of course you can't buy. You are a good girl indeed!" Then the old woman went on. 
"And as a reward for being good, I'm going to make you a gift of one of my apples!" Without a further thought, Snow White opened the door just a tiny crack, to take the apple. 
"There! Now isn't that a nice apple?" Snow White bit into the fruit, and as she did, fell to the ground in a faint: the effect of the terrible poison left her lifeless instantaneously. 
Now chuckling evilly, the wicked stepmother hurried off. But as she ran back across the swamp, she tripped and fell into the quicksand. No one heard her cries for help, and she disappeared without a trace. 
Meanwhile, the dwarfs came out of the mine to find the sky had grown dark and stormy. Loud thunder echoed through the valleys and streaks of lightning ripped the sky. Worried about Snow White they ran as quickly as they could down the mountain to the cottage. 
There they found Snow White, lying still and lifeless, the poisoned apple by her side. They did their best to bring her around, but it was no use. 
They wept and wept for a long time. Then they laid her on a bed of rose petals, carried her into the forest and put her in a crystal coffin. 
Each day they laid a flower there. 
Then one evening, they discovered a strange young man admiring Snow White's lovely face through the glass. After listening to the story, the Prince (for he was a prince!) made a suggestion. 
"If you allow me to take her to the Castle, I'll call in famous doctors to waken her from this peculiar sleep. She's so lovely I'd love to kiss her!" He did, and as though by magic, the Prince's kiss broke the spell. To everyone's astonishment, Snow White opened her eyes. She had amazingly come back to life! Now in love, the Prince asked Snow White to marry him, and the dwarfs reluctantly had to say good bye to Snow White. 
From that day on, Snow White lived happily in a great castle. But from time to time, she was drawn back to visit the little cottage down in the forest. 

Meanwhile, the servant had returned to the castle, with the heart of a roe deer. He gave it to the cruel stepmother, telling her it belonged to Snow White, so that he could claim the reward. Highly pleased, the stepmother turned again to the magic mirror. But her hopes were dashed, for the mirror replied: "The loveliest in the land is still Snow White, who lives in the seven dwarfs' cottage, down in the forest." The stepmother was beside herself with rage.

Pada suatu hari di sebuah istana yang besar, hiduplah seorang puteri raja yang sangat bahagia, tapi juga hidup dalam kecemburuan pada ibu tirinya, Dia sangatlah cantik, dengan mata yang biru dan rambut hitam yang panjang. Kulitnya lembut dan bersinar, Sebut dia Snow White. Setiap orang tahu kalau dia sangat cantik, tapi ibu tirinya sangatlah kejam. Dia juga cantik, dan cermin ajaib selalu bilang padanya setiap hari, apapun yang ia tanyakan.

"Cermin, cermin, oh cermin, Siapakah wanita tercantik di tanah ini?" Jawabannya selalu, "Tentunya kau yang mulia," sampai akhirnya ia mendengar ada hari yang mengerikan, "Snow white lah wanita tercantik di tanah ini." Ibu tirinya sangat kesal dan juga cemburu, dan mulai merencanakan sesuatu untuk menyingkirkannya. Lalu ia memanggil pelayan terpercayanya, dia menyogok si pelayan dengan sebuah hadiah untuk membawa Snow white ke hutan, jauh dari istana. Dia harus membunuhnya tanpa diketahui seorangpun. Pelayan rakus itu tertarik pada hadiahnya, dan dia menyetujui kesepakatannya dan dia langsung membawa gadis yang tak bersalah itu. Bagaimanapun juga, saat dia menuju ke tempat yang dituju, ada seorang pria berani menggagalkannya dan dia tetap meninggalkan Snow white di bawah pohon. Dia memberitahu alasannya dan langsung pergi, Snow white selalu sendirian di dalam hutan itu. Malam tiba, tapi sang pelayan tak kunjung datang. Snow White, masih sendirian di hutan yang gelap itu, dia mulai menangis terisak-isak. Dia merasa takut karena pikirnya ada seseorang yang memata-matainya, dan dia juga mendengar suara-suara aneh dan itu membuat jantungnya berdetak. Akhirnya, dia merasa lelah, dia tertidur meringkuk di bawah pohon tadi.

snow white tertidur lelap , terbangun dari pagi ke pagi dan kegelapan selalu mengelilinginya . 
Berberapa hari kemudian, dia merasakan sesuatu atau seseorang menyentuhnya saat tertidur.Akhirnya, di saat fajar suara nyanyian burung membangunkan nya . 
seluruh dunia telah mengerakan hidup dan gadis kecil itu senang melihat bodohnya dan rasa takut dirinya.
bagaimana pun, pepohonan besar yang tampak seperti dinding yang mengelilinginya,dan sampai dia lelah mencari tahu di mana dia berada,dia menelusuri jalan kecil dengan penuh harapan untuk bisa keluar dari hutan.disana terdapat gubuk,dengan sebuah pintu kecil,jendela kecil dan juga cerobong kecil.
apapun yang terdapat di gubuk itu berukuran lebih kecil.dia membuka pintu itu.
"Siapa yang tinggal ditempat ini ?"pikirnya,dia mengelilingi sekitar dapur."betapa kecil piring dan sendok nya ! terdapat tujuh dari mereka,karena terlihat dari jumlah meja yang ada".diatas tangga terdapat 7 kamar dengan 7 kasur kecil.Saat dia kembali kedapur, dia mendapatkan sebuah ide.
"aku akan membuat sesuatu untuk di makan,saat mereka kembali, mereka akan senang saat melihat makanan telah siap"
disaat menjelang sore, tujuh pria kecil pulang sambil bernyanyi-nyanyi.tetapi ketika mereka membuka pintu,mereka terkejut melihat semangkok sup hangat diatas meja.dan seisi rumah menjadi lebih rentang.
di lantai atas terdapat snow white yang tertidur di sebuah kasur.kepala kurcaci tersebut membangunkannya secara perlahan. 

"Siapa kau?" tanya dia. Snow White menceritakan tentang cerita sedihnya, sambil meneteskan air matanya pada si kurcaci. Lalu salah satu dari mereka berkata, "Tinggalah bersama kami!" "Hore!Hore!" Mereka berteriak, sembari menari-nari di keliling Snow White. Para Kurcaci berkata pada Snow White : "Kau bisa hidup disini dan merawar rumah kami saat kami sedang pergi bekerja. Jangan khawatirkan tentang ibu tiri yang membuangmu ke hutan. Kami mencintaimu dan akan merawatmu!" Snow white dengan ramah menerima kedermawanan mereka, dan keesokan harinya Para kurcaci mulai bekerja. Tapi mereka memperingati Snow white agar tak membukakan pintu bagi orang asing. "Dia harus mati! Dia harus mati!" Teriak ibu tirinya. Sambil menyamar sebagai wanita tua, dia menaruh apel yang sudah diracuni di dalam keranjangnya. Lalu, dia melewati jalan tercepat menuju hutan, dia menyebrangi rawa-rawa dipinggiran pohon-pohon. Dia mencapai bank gaib, sama disaat Snow White melambaikan tangannya kepada Ketujuh Kurcaci yang akan pergi bekerja. Saat Snow white ada di dapur tiba-tiba ada suara ketukan pintu. TOK! TOK! TOK! "Siapa itu?" dia curiga, karena ingat apa kata ketujuh kurcaci tadi. "Aku seorang wanita tua yang sedang berjualan apel," balas wanita tua. "Aku tak membutuhkannya, terima kasih," Ujar Snow White. "Tapi ini apel yang sangat lezat!" jawab suara dari luar rumah. "Aku tak boleh membukakan pintu pada siapapun," Ujar Snow white, yang enggan melanggar perintah temannya. "Benar, gadis baik! Jika kau berjanji takkan membukakan pintu pada orang asing, maka kau takkan bisa membeli sesuatu. Aku tahu kau seorang gadis baik!" Ujar Wanita tua itu. "Dan sebagai hadiah karena kebaikanmu, aku ingin memberimu hadiah yaitu apel yang kujual!" Gratis. Snow White membuka pintunya sedikit untuk mengambil apel tersebut. "Ini dia! Bukankah itu apel yang segar?" Lalu Snow white menggigit apel tersebut, dan dia jatuh pingsan, dia jatuh pingsan karena efek racun apel yang ia makan.

Wanita tua tadi tertawa, lalu ibu tiri kejam itu langsung menghilang. Tapi saat ia sedang menyebrangi rawa, ia tersandung dan jatuh ke dalam lumpur hisap. Tak ada yang mendengar suara teriakan meminta tolongnya, dan dia menghilang tanpa jejak.
