Snow White

Dear Masap,

I was watching a modern version of Snow White the other day and got to thinking of how tragically wrong they got the story. Even the Grimm Brothers wrote it wrong and added the whole evil queen and crazy hunter thing just to make it a more exciting story. I have decided to tell you all how the original story of Snow White goes…just to set the record straight.

Once upon a time there was this girl. She lived with her father in a far away land. One day the girl wandered off into the forest and frolicked along with the woodland creatures until she suddenly got very tired. So she lay down and took a nap in the middle of a meadow. When she awoke, the sun had gone down and she was now terribly lost. All of her furry friends had gone home and there were now scary sounds coming from the woods around her. Off in the distance, she saw smoke rising in the air above the tree tops and decided to venture towards it to find safety.

As she approached she could hear people inside. She cautiously knocked on the front door. A moment later, the door slowly opened to reveal a quaint little cottage and seven midget men. She explained her plight to the tiny gentlemen and they welcomed her in so that she might rest for the night. Because they were so little and slept in little beds, they had to push a few of them together so that she could fit and get a good night’s rest. In the mean time, the midget men found various places in the house to sleep, such as the couch, the kitchen counter, on top of the washer and dryer, the desktop, the bathtub, and in the closet.

The next morning, the girl found herself all alone in the house because the men had gone to work out in the woods and there was some extra breakfast on the kitchen table. She slowly ate as she surveyed the room around her, and after putting her dishes in the sink, she set out on her merry way. As she again came across the green meadow she had napped in the day before, she was greeted by her cheerful woodland creature friends. They sang and frolicked through the woods, back towards her home. As she neared the house, she could see the young boy she had so often played with, searching frantically for her. Calling his name, she waved happily and skipped over to meet him. He wrapped her in a big hug and then they linked arms and skipped off together, to play and laugh until it was time for bed. The end.
