SCRIPT: 

NARRATOR: Once upon a time, a king and queen ruled over a distant land.  The King was very kind and generous and was loved by all.
KING: My dear queen, I can’t wait to see our child.
QUEEN: neither can I, my dear.
NARRATOR: Months passed by. One winter day, the queen was doing needle work while looking through the window, when a bird flew by distracting the queen and she pricked her finger. A single drop of blood fell on the snow outside her window. As she looked at the blood on the snow she said. 
QUEEN: Oh, how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony.
NARRATOR: The queen got her wish when she gave birth to a baby girl who had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony. They named her Snow White, but sadly, the queen died. Soon after, the king married a new woman who was beautiful, but proud and cruel. She had studied dark magic and owned a magic mirror, of which she would daily ask.
STEP-MOTHER: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most beautiful of them all?. 
MIRROR: You, my Queen, are the most beautiful of them all. 
NARRATOR: This pleased the new Queen.   She knew that her magical mirror could speak only the truth. One morning the queen asked. 
STEP-MOTHER: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who´s the most beautiful of them all?. 
MIRROR: You, my queen, are the most beautiful; it is true. But Snow White is even more beautiful than you. 
NARRATOR: The Queen was angry and become hating Snow White. She told herself: I’m an unable to bear Snow White’s beauty any longer. Immediately, she called her huntsman and bribed him with a rich reward and said: 
STEP-MOTHER: Go to the forest farm from the Castle, take the girl on the pretext of picking some wild flowers and kill her!. . . And as a proof, bring me her heart!. Ha,ha,ha,ha.
HUNTSMAN: …but ….. she’s our princess …my Queen!!  
STEP-MOTHER: How dare you speak to me like that? Do as I say. If you fail, you know that you will die.
NARRATOR: With a heavy heart, the poor huntsman took Snow White into the forest, but could not kill her. 
SNOW WHITE: Where are we going?
HUNTSMAN: Princess, we are going to collect some rare flowers deep in the forest.
SNOW WHITE: …deep in the woods??... I’d love to go!!!
NARRATOR: Snow White enjoyed the new surroundings. In the meantime, the huntsman prepared himself to kill her.
SNOW WHITE: Shall we go?
NARRATOR: But when the huntsman pulled out a big sharp knife, Snow White began to tremble in fair. Why do you want to kill me? She asked.
HUNTSMAN: The queen… She has sent to me to kill you.  … but …I cannot do this, you have to escape, go, run, run!.. do not ever back to the kingdom. 
NARRATOR: Then the huntsman killed a deer and took his heart to the Queen. 
HUNTSMAN: Here, my Queen, I did as you told me. Take her heart.
STEP-MOTHER: Ha, ha, ha, ha, now, I am the most beautiful of them all!. 
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Snow White was at the forest. 
SNOW WHITE: Oh, I am all alone in the great forest, I don´t know what to do. (She cried)
NARRATOR: Then she began to run.  And just as evening was about to fall she saw a little house and went inside.
SNOW WHITE: Oh, this house is so beautiful. Everything is so small and clean. 
NARRATOR: The table’s laid for seven people, and there was food on the plates. 
SNOW WHITE: I am so hungry. I will eat a few vegetables and a little bread from each little plate and from each cup I will drink a bit of milk. 
NARRATOR: Since she was so tired, she lay down on one of the little beds and fell fast asleep. After dark, the owners of the house returned home. They were the seven dwarves who mined for gold in the mountains. As soon as they arrived home, they saw that someone had been there.
DWARF 1: Who has been sitting in my chair?.
DWARF 2: Who has been eating from my plate?. 
DWARF 3: Who has been eating my bread?. 
DWARF 4: Who has been eating my vegetables?. 
DWARF 5: Who has been eating with my fork?. 
DWARF 6: Who has been drinking from my cup?.
NARRATOR: But the seventh one, looking at his bed, found Snow White lying there asleep. 
DWARF 7: Look over here, come quick!.
NARRATOR: The seven dwarves all came running up, and they cried out with amazement. 
DWARF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: Oh good heaven, this child is beautiful!.
NARRATOR: They did not wake her up, but let her continue to sleep in the bed.  Next morning, Snow White woke up, and when she saw the seven dwarves she was frightened. 
SNOW WHITE: Oh, no!. 
DWARF 1: Don´t be afraid of us. What is your name?. 
SNOW WHITE: My name is Snow White. 
DWARF 2: How did you find the way to our house?. 
SNOW WHITE: My stepmother tried to kill me.  Then the huntsman let me free and that´s how I had to run the entire day through the forest. Finally, I got to your house. 
NARRATOR: The dwarves spoke with each other for a while and then said.
DWARF 1: You can live here and wait for us while we’re down the mine. 
DWARF 2: and cook.
DWARF 3: make beds. 
DWARF 4: wash, sew, and knit.
DWARF 5: and keep everything clean and orderly.
DWARF 6: and you shall have everything that you want. 
DWARF 7: Do you agree?
SNOW WHITE: Yes, with all my heart.
NARRATOR: So, Snow White lived happily with the dwarves. Every morning they went into the mountains looking for gold, and in the evening when they came back home Snow White had their meal ready and their house clean.  Meanwhile, at the palace. 
STEP-MOTHER: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who in this land is the most beautiful of all?. 
MIRROR: You, my Queen, are beautiful; it is true. But Snow White, beyond the mountains with the seven dwarves, is still a thousand times more beautiful than you. 
STEP-MOTHER: Now I understand!.   Oh, that huntsman deceived me. I have to get rid of her by myself. 
NARRATOR: She went into her most secret room, and she made a poisoned apple. 
STEP-MOTHER: With this poisoned apple you will die, Snow White! Ha, ha, ha, ha. 
NARRATOR: From the outside the apple was beautiful and shiny. But anyone who might eat a little piece of it would died. 
STEP-MOTHER: I have to disguise myself so she can´t recognize me. Now I will go to those dwarves´ house.
NARRATOR: She took the quickest way to the forest and crossed the swamp at the edge of the trees just to the dwarfs’ house and knocked on the door. Snow White put her head out of the window, and said:
SNOW WHITE: Who´s there?.......I must not let anyone in. 
STEP-MOTHER: I’m an old peasant woman selling apples. Would you like to taste one of my sweet ones?. 
SNOW WHITE: No, I cannot accept anything from strangers. 
STEP MOTHER: And quite right too! If you promised not to open up to strangers, then of course you can’t take these beautiful and juicy apples. You’re a good girl indeed!!  And as a reward for being good I’m going to make you a gift of one of my apples.
NARRATOR: Without a further thought. Snow White opened the door just a tiny crack, to take the apple.
STEP MOTHER: There! Now isn’t that a nice apple?
NARRATOR: She barely had a bite in her mouth when she fell to the ground dead.
STEP MOTHER: Ha, ha, ha, White as snow, red as blood, black as ebony wood!. The dwarves shall never awaken you.  Good-bye Snow White!. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
NARRATOR: Now chuckling evilly, the wicked stepmother hurried off. But as she ran back across the swamp, she tripped and fell into the quicksand. No one heard her cries for help. And she disappear without a trace.
Meanwhile, the dwarfs came out of the mine. The sky had grown dark and stormy. Worried about Snow White they ran as quickly as they could down the mountain to the cottage. There they found Snow White, lying still and lifeless, the poisoned apple by her side.  
DWARF 3: Snow White, wake up, what happened to you. 
DWARF 4: She is not breathing at all. She is dead!. 
NARRATOR: They lifted her up and looked at her for a long time. 
DWARF 5: Snow White, wake up, talk to us, please.
NARRATOR: They did their best to bring her round, but nothing helped. She was dead.  They laid her on a bed of rose petals, and all seven dwarves sat next to her and cried for three days. They though to bury her, but she still looked as fresh as a living person, and still had her beautiful red cheeks. 
DWARF 6: We cannot bury her in the black earth. 
DWARF 7: Let´s make a transparent glass coffin made, so we can see her from all sides. 
NARRATOR: And they did it, then they put her inside the coffin. 
DWARF 1: We have to place the coffin outside on a mountain, and one of us will always stay with it and watched over her. 
DWARF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: Yes, we will do that. 
NARRATOR: Then one evening, they discovered a strange young man admiring Snow White’s lovely face through the glass. After listening to the story, the prince made a suggestion.
PRINCE: Let me have the coffin. I will give you anything you want for it. 
DWARF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: We will not sell it for all the gold in the world.
PRINCE: If you allow me to take her to the Castle, I’ll call in famous doctors to waken her from this peculiar sleep. She’s so lovely. . . . I’d love to kiss her. . . !  I cannot live without being able to her. 
NARRATOR: The good dwarves felt sorry for him and gave him the coffin. 
DWARF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7:  Take good care of her, we will always love her. 
PRINCE: I will. She will be my most precious treasure. 
NARRATOR: He kissed her and as though by magic, the Prince’s kiss broke the spell. To everyone’s astonishment, Snow White opened her eyes. She had amazingly come back life! And a little stunned she said:
 SNOW WHITE: Where am I?.
 PRINCE: You are with me.  I love you!.  Come with me to my father’s castle. You will be my wife.
NARRATOR: At that moment Snow White fell in love with him. Their wedding was planned with great splendor and majesty. And so, Snow White and the Prince lived happily ever after.
