Quote of the Day
Orientation
Once upon a time there lived a little girl named
Snow White. She lived with her Aunt and Uncle
because her parents were dead.
Complication
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.
Resolution
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.
Complication
She was very tired and hungry.
Resolution
Then she saw this little cottage. She knocked
but no one answered so she went inside and
fell asleep.
Complication
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 is your name?
Snow White said, ‘My name is Snow White’.
Resolution
Doc said, ‘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 Snow White and the 7 dwarfs lived
happily ever after.
