00:00This is the story of Snow White. You can read along with me in your book.

00:09You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the chimes ring like this.

00:16Let's begin now.

00:20Once upon a time, long, long ago, a lovely queen sat by her window sewing.

00:27As she worked, she thought, if only I had a little daughter, how happy I would be.

00:34Dreaming, she pricked her finger with her needle.

00:38Three drops of blood fell on the snow white linen.

00:44How lovely my little girl would be if she had lips as red as blood, skin as white as snow,

00:52and hair as black as ebony, thought the queen.

00:57Some time later, a little daughter was born to the queen,

01:01and she was just as beautiful as the queen had hoped she might be.

01:06The happy mother decided to call her baby Snow White.

01:12But the queen was very ill, and when Snow White was still a little girl, her mother died.

01:19Snow White's father, the king, was brokenhearted. For many years he was sad and lonely.

01:27But at last, the lonely king married again, and there was great rejoicing in the land.

01:34His new queen was very beautiful to look upon, but alas, her heart was cold and cruel.

01:43The queen was vain, too. She would spend hours dressing herself in fine clothes and brushing her black hair.

01:52Then she would stand by the mirror and admire herself.

01:57She was so vain that she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.

02:02Now the queen's most prized possession was a magic mirror.

02:07Every day she asked it,

02:09Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?

02:15If the mirror replied that she was the fairest in the land, the queen was happy and all was well.

02:22But sometimes another lady was named.

02:26Then the queen would fly into such a terrible rage that the people around her trembled with fear.

02:34The wicked queen would order the poor lady to be killed.

02:40Meanwhile, Snow White was growing up to be more and more beautiful.

02:45And as well as being pretty, she was so sweet-natured that everyone loved her.

02:51Everyone but the queen.

02:54The queen looked at Snow White jealously.

02:57At last she could stand the sight of the lovely princess no longer.

03:02She took the Spanish Snow White to the servants' quarters.

03:06Snow White's fine clothes were taken away from her,

03:09and she had to dress in rags like the other servants.

03:13And like the other servants, Snow White had to work very hard.

03:18She slaved from early morning until late at night, scrubbing and cleaning the palace floors,

03:24washing the dishes, sewing, and mending the queen's clothes.

03:29As she worked, she would sing so sweetly that the birds would come to listen to her voice.

03:37She will soon lose her beauty, thought the wicked queen.

03:41For who can call her lovely in her old rags and with her hands roughened by work?

03:48Nevertheless, the queen went to her mirror and day after day asked the same question.

03:55Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?

04:02The wicked, vain queen was still afraid that one day,

04:05Snow White would grow up to be more beautiful than anyone else in the land.

04:12While she worked, Snow White dreamed beautiful daydreams about a handsome prince.

04:18Someday she knew he would come and carry her off to his castle in the clouds.

04:24It seemed to the jealous queen, as she watched Snow White,

04:28that the princess grew in loveliness as each day passed.

04:34And indeed, though Snow White wore ragged clothes, her beauty was plain to see.

04:41At last came the day the queen had been dreading.

04:44Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?

04:50She said, and the mirror replied.

04:53Her lips love red, her hair like night, her skin like snow, her name Snow White.

05:06The angry queen called her huntsman to her.

05:09Take the princess into the forest and bring me back her heart in this jeweled box.

05:14She said.

05:15The huntsman bowed his head in grief.

05:18He had no choice but to obey the queen's command.

05:23Off into the forest went Snow White and the huntsman next day.

05:28The princess, not knowing what was in store for her, skipped along beside the huntsman,

05:33now stopping to pick violets, now singing a happy tune.

05:38At last the huntsman, heartbroken, fell to his knees beside the princess.

05:43I cannot kill you, princess, he said.

05:47Even though it is the queen's command, run into the forest and hide and never return to the castle.

05:56Alone in the forest, Snow White wept with fright.

06:01But she was not really alone, she found.

06:04All the little woodland animals were her friends.

06:07And chirping and chattering happily, they led her to a new home.

06:15It was a sweet little, tiny little house in the woods the animals showed Snow White.

06:20But no one was home.

06:22And when she looked in the window, my, what an untidy sight met her eyes.

06:28The sink was piled with unwashed dishes and everything was thickly blanketed with dust.

06:34Maybe the children who live here need someone to keep house for them, said Snow White.

06:40Let's clean their house.

06:42So in they went.

06:44And with the help of her new forest friends, Snow White soon had that little house spick and span.

06:51Then she went upstairs and fell asleep across the seven little beds.

06:55As she slept, home from work came the seven little men who lived in that house in the woods.

07:01Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's ho from work we go, sang the seven little men, the seven dwarfs.

07:11Then they saw their little house just as Snow White had seen it.

07:15But they knew at once that something was changed.

07:18It was clean.

07:20Up the stairs crept the seven dwarfs.

07:23And there they found Snow White just waking up.

07:26Oh, cried Snow White, I know who you are.

07:30She had read their names on their beds.

07:33You're dopey and sneezy and happy and grumpy and dark and bashful and sleepy.

07:43Snow White told the dwarfs about the wicked queen's plot.

07:47And they insisted that she must stay with them.

07:50Supper is not quite ready yet, said Snow White, who was very pleased to be asked to stay.

07:57You'll just have time to wash.

07:59Wash?

08:01Cried all the little men.

08:03They had almost forgotten what the word meant.

08:06But they were soon scrubbed clean.

08:08And even grumpy got a soaking.

08:12The seven dwarfs soon grew to love Snow White and her merry ways.

08:19The next morning, instead of going to work in their mine, the seven dwarfs decided to make a beautiful new bed for Snow White.

08:28The seven little men would not have worked so happily if they could have seen beyond the forest.

08:34The wicked queen had learned that Snow White was still alive.

08:38And now, disguised as an old woman, she was making her way to their very own house with a poisoned apple for Snow White.

08:52When the dwarfs had left Snow White that morning, they had warned her to stay in the house.

08:57Be careful of strangers, Grumpy had said as Snow White kissed him goodbye.

09:04And Snow White had promised that she would be careful.

09:08Later that day, the old woman knocked at her door.

09:12Alas, Snow White could not resist the magic apple.

09:17She took one bite and sank lifeless to the floor.

09:22Hurrying away, the wicked queen fell into a deep chasm and was never seen again.

09:29But that did not bring Snow White back to life.

09:33The sorrowing dwarfs laid her on a bed of gold and crystal and kept watch over her night and day.

09:43One day, a handsome prince came to the forest and saw Snow White.

09:49Charmed with her beauty, he kissed her.

09:52At last, Snow White awoke.

09:55The seven dwarfs danced with joy and the prince carried her off to his castle in the clouds.
