Snow
White
Once upon a time, there lived a little girl named Snow
White. She lived with her aunt and uncle because her parents were dead.
One day, she heard her uncle and aunt talking about
leaving Snow White in the castle because they both wanted to go to America and
they didn’t have enough money to take Snow White.
Snow White did not want her uncle and aunt to do this,
so she decided it would be best if she ran away. The next morning, she
ran away from home when her aunt and uncle were having breakfast. She ran
away into the woods.
She was very tired and hungry. Then, she saw
this little cottage. She knocked, but no one answered, so she went inside
and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from
work. They went inside. There they found Snow White sleeping. Then
Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said, ”What’s
your name?” Snow White answered, “My name is Snow White.”
The other dwarfs asked, “If you wish, you may live
here with us.” Snow White said, “Oh, could I? Thank you!” Then Snow White told
the dwarfs the whole story, and the seven dwarfs lived happily ever after.
