A year later, he marries a new queen. But the new queen is not a good woman. She doesn’t love Snow White.
The Queen wants to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Every day she asks her magic mirror, ‘Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?’ The mirror says, ‘You are, dear Queen.’ Now Snow White is 13 years old. She is very beautiful. One day the Queen asks her magic mirror, ‘Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?’ The mirror says, ‘Snow White is the most beautiful woman in the world.’ The Queen is very angry. She speaks to a hunter. ‘You must kill Snow White!’ she says. ‘Take her into the forest. Then bring me her heart!’

The Queen wants to kill you!’ Snow White is very afraid and she runs away. The hunter kills an animal and he takes its heart to the Queen. When she sees the heart, she is very happy. ‘The hunter killed Snow White!’ she says. ‘Now I am the most beautiful woman in the world.’
In the forest, Snow White runs and runs! She is lost. ‘Where am I?’ she cries. Then she sees a little house. She goes into the house and she sees seven little plates on the table and seven little chairs. She also sees seven little beds in the bedroom. Snow White is tired and hungry. She eats some food from a plate and she drinks some water from a cup. Then she goes to sleep in the biggest bed.

You must stay here with us.’ ‘Oh, thank you!’ says Snow White. ‘I will cook and clean for you. You will be happy.’ й.

One morning, she asks her magic mirror, ‘Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?’ The mirror says, ‘Snow White is the most beautiful woman in the world. She lives in the forest. She lives with seven dwarfs in a little house. She is happy.’
The Queen is very angry! ‘What? Snow White?’ she shouts. ‘Snow White is alive! I will go into the forest. I must find her. I must kill her.’ The Queen thinks. Then she has an idea! ‘I can be an old woman!’ she says. ‘I will wear old clothes!’ The Queen wears old clothes and goes into the forest.
The Queen finds Snow White in the little house. ‘Hello, beautiful girl,’ she says. ‘Look at this lovely red apple. It is very tasty. Come and eat it Snow White wants the apple. The apple looks very tasty. Snow White takes the apple and she bites it. But then she falls down! There is poison in the apple! The Queen kills Snow White with the poison!
