Snow White Story
(ORIENTATION) Once upon a time there lived a lovely princess with fair
skin and blue eyes. She was so fair that she was named Snow White. Her mother
died when Snow White was a baby and her father married again. This queen was
very pretty but she was also very cruel.
(COMPILATION) The wicked stepmother wanted to be the most beautiful
lady in the kingdom and she would often ask her magic mirror, “Mirror! Mirror on
the wall! Who is the fairest of them all?” And the magic mirror would say, “You
are, Your Majesty!” But one day, the mirror replied, “Snow White is the fairest of
them all!” The wicked queen was very angry and jealous of Snow White. She
ordered her huntsman to take Snow White to the forest and kill her. “I want you to
bring back her heart,” she ordered. But when the huntsman reached the forest with
Snow White, he took pity on her and set her free. He killed a deer and took its
heart to the wicked queen and told her that he had killed Snow White. Snow White
wandered in the forest all night, crying.

When it was daylight, she came to a tiny cottage and went inside. There was
nobody there, but she found seven plates on the table and seven tiny beds in the
bedroom. She cooked a wonderful meal and cleaned the house and tired, finally
slept on one of the tiny beds. At night, the seven dwarfs who lived in the cottage
came home and found Snow White sleeping. When she woke up and told them her
story, the seven dwarfs asked her to stay with them. When the dwarfs were away,
Snow White would make delicious meals for them. The dwarfs loved her and cared
for her. Every morning, when they left the house, they instructed her never to open
the door to strangers.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the wicked queen asked, “Mirror! Mirror on the
Who is the fairest of them. The mirror replied, White is the fairest of them all! She
lives with the seven dwarfs in the woods!” The wicked stepmother was furious.
She was actually a witch knew how to make magic potions. She now made a
poisonous potion and dipped a shiny red apple into it. Then she disguised herself as
an old peasant woman and went to the woods with the apple. She knocked on the
cottage door and said “Pretty little child! Let me in! Look what I have for you!”
White said, “I am so sorry, old lady, I cannot let you in! The seven dwarfs have
told me not to talk to strangers!” But then, Snow White saw the shiny red apple,
and opened the door. The wicked witch offered her the apple and when she took a
bite poor Snow White fell into a deep sleep. The wicked stepmother went back to
the palace and asked the mirror, “Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who is the fairest of
them all?” The mirror replied, “You are, Your Majesty!” and she was very happy.
(RESOLUTION) When the seven dwarfs came home to find Snow White
lying on the floor, they were very upset. They cried all night and then built a glass
coffin for Snow White. They kept the coffin in front of the cottage.
(RE-ORENTATION) One day, Prince Charming was going past the cottage
and he saw Snow White lying in the coffin. He said to the dwarfs, “My! My! She is
so beautiful! I would like to kiss her!” And he did. Immediately, Snow White
opened her eyes. She was alive again! The Prince and the seven dwarfs were very
happy. Prince Charming married Snow White and took her to his palace and lived
happily ever after.

PUTRI SALJU
Dahulu kala hiduplah seorang putri cantik dengan kulit yang terang (putih)
dan mata biru. Dia begitu putih sehingga ia diberi nama Putri Salju. Ibunya
meninggal saat Putri Salju masih bayi dan ayahnya menikah lagi. Ratu ini sangat
cantik tapi dia juga sangat kejam.
 Ibu tirinya (putri salju) yang jahat ingin menjadi wanita yang paling cantik
di kerajaan dan dia sering bertanya kepada cermin sihirnya, "Cermin! Cermin di
dinding! Siapa yang tercantik dari mereka (perempuan di seluruh kerajaan)semua?
"Dan cermin ajaib berkata," Kamu, Yang Mulia! "Tapi suatu hari, cermin itu
menjawab," Putri salju adalah yang tercantik dari mereka semua! "Ratu jahat
sangat marah dan cemburu kepada Putri Salju. Dia memerintahkan pemburu untuk
membawa Putri Salju ke hutan dan membunuhnya. "Aku ingin kau membawa
kembali hatinya," perintahnya. Tapi ketika pemburu mencapai hutan dengan putri
salju, dia merasa kasihan padanya dan membebaskannya. Dia membunuh rusa dan
mengambil hatinya untuk ratu jahat dan mengatakan kepadanya bahwa ia telah
membunuh Putri Salju. Putri Salju pun kemudian mengembara di hutan sepanjang
malam, menangis.

Ketika menjelang siang, dia datang ke sebuah pondok kecil dan masuk ke
dalam. tidak ada seorangpun disana (di dalam pondok), tapi dia menemukan tujuh
piring di atas meja dan tujuh tempat tidur kecil di kamar tidur. Dia memasak
makanan yang enak dan membersihkan rumah dan kelelahan, akhirnya tidur di
salah satu tempat tidur kecil. Pada malam hari, tujuh kurcaci yang tinggal di
pondok pulang dan menemukan Putri Salju tidur. Ketika ia bangun dan
mengatakan kepada mereka kisahnya, tujuh kurcaci memintanya untuk tinggal
bersama mereka. Ketika kurcaci pergi, Putri Salju akan membuat makanan lezat
untuk mereka. Para kurcaci mencintainya dan menyayanginya. Setiap pagi, ketika
mereka meninggalkan rumah, mereka memerintahkan dia untuk tidak pernah
membuka pintu untuk orang asing.

Sementara itu, di istana, ratu jahat kembali bertanya, "Cermin! Cermin di

Siapa yang tercantik dari mereka. Cermin menjawab, Putri salju adalah yang
tercantik dari mereka semua! Dia tinggal dengan tujuh kurcaci di hutan! "Si ibu tiri
jahat sangat marah. Dia sebenarnya adalah seorang penyihir yang tahu bagaimana
membuat ramuan sihir. Dia sekarang membuat ramuan beracun dan mencelupkan
apel merah mengkilap ke dalamnya. Lalu ia menyamar sebagai seorang wanita
petani tua dan pergi ke hutan dengan apel. Dia mengetuk pintu pondok dan berkata
"Wahai anak kecil! Biarkan aku masuk! Lihat apa yang saya punya untuk
(diberikan kepada) Anda! "Kata Putri salju," Saya sangat menyesal, wanita tua,
saya tidak boleh membiarkan Anda masuk! Tujuh kurcaci telah mengatakan
kepada saya untuk tidak berbicara dengan orang asing! "Tapi kemudian, Putri Salju
melihat apel merah mengkilap, dan membuka pintu. Si penyihir jahat menawarinya
apel dan ketika ia mengigit sedikit bagian dari apel tersebut Putri Salju jatuh dan
akhirnya ter tidur nyenyak. Ibu tiri yang jahat kembali ke istana dan bertanya
kepada cermin, "Cermin! Cermin di dinding! Siapa yang tercantik dari mereka
semua? "Jawab Cermin," Kamu, Yang Mulia! "Dan dia sangat senang.
Ketika tujuh kurcaci datang ke rumah, mereka menemukan Putri Salju
tergeletak di lantai, mereka sangat marah. Mereka menangis sepanjang malam dan
kemudian membangun sebuah peti kaca untuk Putri Salju. Mereka menyimpan peti
kaca tersebut di depan pondok. Suatu hari, Pangeran Tampan akan melewati
pondok dan ia melihat Putri Salju berbaring di peti mati. Dia mengatakan kepada
para kurcaci, "oh! oh! Dia begitu cantik! Saya ingin menciumnya! "Dan dia
melakukannya. Segera, Putri Salju membuka matanya. Dia hidup kembali! Sang
pangeran dan tujuh kurcaci sangat senang. Si Pangeran yang tampan
pun menikahi Putri Salju dan membawanya ke istananya dan hidup bahagia
selamanya.
