Brothers Grimm
In a mid-winter, when snow fell from the sky like a feather, a queen sat sewing near the window. Wooden frame used for the embroidery is made from ebony-black. While embroidering, the Queen looked at the snow falling and accidentally pricked her finger by a needle so that 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 was white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as black as ebony, and he named Snow White. When his 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 is no excess of beauty. The new queen had a magic mirror, where the Queen often stand looking in the mirror and say:
"Mirror on the wall, Who is fairest among all?"
And the mirror always answered, "You are the fairest of them all".
And the Queen was satisfied, knowing that magic mirror never tell lies.
Snow is now growing more and more beautiful, and when she grew up, her 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 White to the forest, so I'll never see him again. You have to destroy it and bring me her heart as proof.
The hunter agreed, bringing Snow White to the forest; but when he drew his sword, Snow White cried, and said:
"O, hunter, do not kill me, I will go and get into the wild, and will not be back again."
Hunters who put self-pity, said:
"Go then, poor daughter;" 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 the heavy stone gencetan. At that moment he saw a boar pass, and the hunter catches the boar and brought out his heart to be taken 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 he started to run, ran over sharp rocks and running through thorny bushes, and wild animals were mengerjarnya, but not to harm Snow White. He ran over his legs would carry it away, and as night approached, he arrived at a small house. Snow also went inside to rest. Everything that was in the house, the size is very small, but beautiful and clean. In the house there are chairs and tables at the base with a white cloth, and on it there are seven plates, dinner knife, fork and drinking cups. Near the wall, seen seven beds small 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 did not spend one plate only. Snow finally felt tired and lay down in the bed, but the bed was too short, some too long, fortunately, beds seventh 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 the seven candles that illuminate the entire house, they realize that there are people who have gotten into the house because a few things have changed, not like when they leave the house.
The first said, "Who has been sitting in my little chair?"
The second one said, "Who has been eating from my little plate?"
The third one said, "Who took my little bread?"
The fourth one said, "Who has been eating my porridge?"
The fifth one said, "Who has been using my fork?"
The sixth one said, "Who has been cutting with my knife?"
The seventh one said, "Who has been drinking out of my cup?"
Then the first, looked around the house and saw signs that her bed had been slept in, shouting, "Who's been sleeping in my bed?"
And when the others also came, they said, "One also has to sleep in my bed!"
When the seventh dwarf saw his bed, he saw Snow White sleeping there, and then he delivered to another dwarf, who came in haste to see Snow White, and in their shock, they each lifted the candle to see Snow White with more clear.
"Oh my God! They said," Who is this beautiful princess? "And because they are excited to see Snow White, they do not have the heart to wake him. The seventh dwarf had to sleep alternating with his friends, every single hour, in each of his bed until the night passed.
Towards morning, when Snow White woke up and saw the seven dwarves, Snow White becomes frightened, but they look friendly and even asked his name and how he could arrive at their home. Snow also tells how his mother's hopes that he died, how the hunter spared her life, how she ran throughout the day, until it came to their house.
The dwarf then said, "If you want to clean the house, cook, wash, clean up the beds, sewing, and set it all to keep it neat and clean, you can stay here, and you will not lack anything."
"I agree," Princess Salu forces, and he lived in the house, and set up house. On the morning of the dwarves to the mountain to dig for gold, at night when they go home, they have prepared dinner. Each Snow left alone, the dwarves often advise:
"Be careful on your step-mother, she will 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 hearts, which were taken 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, "The Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, Snow White lived in a small house along with the seven dwarfs, a thousand times more beautiful."
Queen be surprised to hear it, and he finally figured out that the hunter had been tricked, and Snow White is still alive. He was thinking hard to kill Princess Salu, as long as he is not the most beautiful woman among all, jealousy will not be able to make him rest in peace. He finally get a plan, he disguises his face and clothes worn by older women so that no one could recognize him. In disguise, he went through seven mountain until finally arriving at the house belonged to seven dwarfs. He knocked on the door and said:
"Good stuff for sale! Good stuff for sale!"
Snow White at the window and said:
"Good afternoon, what you got?"
"Good stuff," he said, "Ribbons of various colors" and he then handed a ribbon made of silk.
"I should not 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 him and let the old woman for her band pair, but the old woman quickly strangle Snow White with Snow White ribbon to fall and as if dead.
"Now it's time you stopped as the most beautiful woman," said the old woman as she passed away.
Not long after that, towards evening, the dwarfs came 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 dwarfs heard the story of Snow White, they said,
"The old woman who became a vendor, it must be none other than the evil queen, you have to 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, "the Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, Snow White lived in a small house along with the seven dwarfs, a thousand times more beautiful."
When I 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 poisonous comb. Then he disguised himself as an old woman to another. Then went across the seven mountains and the seven dwarfs came home. He knocked on the door and said,
"Good stuff for sale! Good 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 seductive Snow White so she finally opened the door and bought the comb, and then the old woman said:
"Now, your hair should be combed properly."
Poor Snow White did not think that there is danger-danger, let the woman combing her hair, and shortly thereafter, comb the poison began to work, and Snow was falling helplessly.
"This is the end for you," said the old woman as she passed. Luckily 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. Eventually they pull comb the hair still attached in Snow White and the time and even then Snow White woke up, and told all the events that happened. The dwarfs warned her to be careful again and never let people in.
When the queen got home, she stood in front of the mirror and say,
"Mirror on the wall, Who is fairest among all?"
The answer is the same as before, "the Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, Snow White lived in a small house along with the seven dwarfs, a thousand times more beautiful."
When the queen heard this, she was trembling with anger, "Snow White must die, although I also have to die!" Then he went into his secret room and there he made a poison apple. Apples are a gorgeous and seductive, white and red. Anyone who saw it and those who are tempted to eat it though slight, would die of poisoning. When the apple was ready, he returned disguised and dressed like a peasant woman, then he crossed the seven mountains where the seven dwarfs lived. And when he knocked at the door, Snow poked its 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 want to give an apple to you."
"No," said Snow White, "I dare not take anything."
"Are you afraid of poison?" asked the woman, "behold, I will divide it into two parts apple, you will get a piece of red, white, and my part."
The apple is made with cleverly, so that part is the part that toxic red. Snow White becomes the apple of beauty will be tempted, and when she saw the peasant woman eating apple parts, Snow White becomes not take it anymore, he stretched out his hand and took the poisonous piece of apple. Not long after he ate the apple, she fell and apparently died. The evil queen, laughed out loud and said,
"White as snow, red as blood, black as ebony! This time, the dwarf would 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".
Hearts queen was filled with jealousy, eventually became calm and happy.
The dwarfs, when I got home in the evening, found Snow White lying on the ground, and there was no more breath out of his nose. They picked it up, looking for toxins that kill Snow White, cut the ribbon, comb her hair, wash 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 dead, snow princess look as if still living with her cheeks flushed. The dwarf then said,
"We're not going to be buried in the dark ground." Then they made a coffin made of clear glass so that they can see Snow from all sides. Snow was laid in the coffin, and in the crate then wrote the name Snow White with gold lettering, 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 would visit and sorry, that comes first is an owl, then a raven, then a dove.
For the longest time, Snow was lying in a glass coffin and has never changed, it looks as though sleeping. It still remains as white as snow, as red as blood and hair as black as ebony. Once a prince through the forest leading to the dwarf house. When he saw the coffin on the mountain top along the beautiful Snow White on the inside, he became in love, and after he read the writings on the casket. He said to the dwarfs,
"Let me have the coffin along with Snow White, I will give you whatever you ask."
But the dwarf refused and said that they did not want to part with Snow White although there are paid with gold around the 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 you all and think of you like a brother."
When the prince spoke earnestly, the dwarf was sorry and gave the Prince a crate that contains Snow White and the Prince was summoned servants to lift the coffin to the castle. On the way, a waiter stumbles on the bushes so that the crate is lifted into shaken and slightly sloping. That's when the poisonous apple in Snow White's throat, came out of his mouth. Snow White opened her eyes and opened the coffin lid, down and stand in a healthy state-hearty.
"Oh, where am I on?" he asked. The Prince immediately replied with cheerful hearts, "You're safe near me," and told him all that happened. The Prince then said,
"I would rather have you than anything offered by the world; come along with me towards my father's palace and be my bride."
Snow White is kind, and the prince went with a 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 asks the magic mirror:
"Mirror on the wall, Who is fairest among all?"
The mirror answered, "The Queen, although almost incomparable beauty, this new bride a thousand times more beautiful."
The Queen became angry and cursed with disappointment, he almost canceled the presence at the wedding of Snow White, but her curiosity made her go anyway. When he saw the bride, he was surprised that the bride is none other than Snow White. Anger and fear mixed into one and at that moment, the evil queen choked with rage, fell and died, while Snow White and the prince, live happily ever after.
