I read “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” It is read in all over the world. I think many people know this story. Of course, this story’s main character is Snow White. She is a princess. Her mother died when she was born. Her father thought that Snow White is a little girl now, so she needs a mother. He took a new wife. New wife was thinking about her beauty every time. She wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She asked the miller who is the most beautiful woman in the woman every day. The miller answered that the most beautiful woman is Snow White every day. It was beginning of the story.
I have heard this story many times, but there were some different points from that I had remembered.
I had remembered that Snow White was killed by a poison apple made by the stepmother at once. But it was not first. First different point is it. First, the stepmother went to the cottage as an old peddler who buys silks and satins, belt and bows. When Snow White tried a lovely belt on, the stepmother looped it around Snow White’s waist and pulled it tighter and tighter. Snow White fainted away. Next, the stepmother went to the cottage again with a poisoned comb. She stuck the comb in Snow White’s hair. The poison worked and Snow White fell to the floor. Snow White didn’t die this time, too. I doubted why she delivered a fatal blow… But it was good to she delivered a fatal blow in the first time because the story would end if she did it.
Second different point is Snow White’s waking up by a prince. According to my memory, Snow White wakes up by the prince’s kiss. But it is different in this book. She woke up when prince’s servant carried her coffin to the prince’s palace! I was surprised at it. I think that there are many types of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the world. It may be different a little each story. It is an interesting thing. I want to read them.
