Little Snow-white

A beautiful girl named Snow-white lives with her wicked Queen step-mother, who possesses a magic looking-glass that speaks the truth. The Queen is furious when the glass declares Snow-white is fairer than she is, and she orders a huntsman to kill the girl. The huntsman spares Snow-white's life, leaving her to wander alone through a dark and dangerous forest. She eventually finds a small cottage belonging to seven kind dwarfs who dig for ore in the mountains. The dwarfs welcome her, and she agrees to keep their house tidy in exchange for shelter and safety. Meanwhile, the Queen consults her looking-glass again and learns that Snow-white is still alive. Driven by envy, the Queen disguises herself as a peddler woman and tricks Snow-white with tight laces, causing her to faint. The dwarfs return home and rescue her by cutting the laces, warning her never to open the door for strangers. The Queen tries again, this time using a poisoned comb, but the dwarfs arrive in time to save Snow-white once more. Undeterred, the Queen creates a poisonous apple with a red cheek that looks delicious to eat. She tricks Snow-white into taking a bite, and the girl falls down dead. The grieving dwarfs place her in a glass coffin on a mountain, where she appears to sleep forever. A King's son discovers the beautiful girl in the coffin and asks the dwarfs to let him take it away. As his servants carry the coffin, they stumble, dislodging the piece of apple from Snow-white's throat. She awakens, and the King's son proposes marriage, leading to a joyous wedding. The wicked Queen is forced to wear red-hot iron slippers at the feast until she dies of exhaustion.
