BR 1-09: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs



I read this book. This story is so famous, so I think that of course everyone know. I chose this book because I wanted to read famous story in English. This story was a little different from the story I knew. It was the most interesting.


I'll talk about the story. There was so beautiful lady named Snow White. Queen who was Snow White's stepmother didn't like Snow White because Snow White was more beautiful than her. Queen decided to kill Snow White. She asked a huntsman to kill Snow White. So the huntsman tried to kill her in the forest, however he couldn't. And he set her free.

Snow White run and run... She found a cottage, and she went in. In the cottage, there were a tiny table, seven tiny chairs, and seven tiny beds. Snow White was so hungry, so she ate bread and drank milk on the table. After meal, she slept in tiny bed because she was so tired and sleepy.

Seven dwarfs came back home, and they found Snow White. They thought that she was so beautiful!!! Next morning Snow White woke up, and she talked about Queen. Seven dwarfs said that they took care of Snow White.

Queen thought that Snow White was dead. However she knew that Snow White didn't die because the magic mirror said, "The most beautiful was Snow White." So Queen thought how to kill Snow White. First, she fastened a belt tight around Snow White's waist. However this plan failed. Next, she tried to kill Snow White by comb with poison. But it also failed. Lastly, she gave Snow White a poison apple. Snow White ate it, and she didn't get up.

Seven dwarfs were very sad because Snow White didn't got up. They laid Snow White in a glass coffin. And over a year passed. A prince saw Snow White and he felt in love with her. He wanted to take her to his palace. So he asked dwarfs, and Dwarfs accepted it. Then his men carried a coffin, but one person dropped it. And then Snow White spit out the apple! She woke up!! Everyone was delighted.


I enjoyed reading this book! This story was based on the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, so there was a little different from the story I knew. I knew the story of Disney's movie. I recommend this book because this book is interesting! Also the illustration is cute :-) I want to read other stories of Grimm.
