白雪公主與七個(gè)小矮人 Chapter 4

　　Chapter 4

　　One day, a prince was hunting in the forest. He saw the dwarf guarding Snow White’s coffin on the hill. He rode up to him.

　　Who is this young woman?

　　This is the princess Snow White. She was a kind and lovely girl. Her stepmother was very jealous of her beauty. She gave Snow White a poisoned apple. She fell asleep and did not wake up. Now we watch her every day. We hope she will wake up one day.

　　Her story is so sad. She is so young and beautiful. I have fallen in love with her. May I give her a kiss before I go home?

　　Umm, OK. I allow you to kiss her.

　　The dwarf took off the top of the coffin. The prince leaned over and kissed Snow White. The queen’s poisoned magic was strong. But the magic of love was stronger. When the prince kissed Snow White, her eyes opened, and she woke up.

　　Snow White! You’re awake!

　　Where am I' Who are you?

　　I am prince charming. Your stepmother gave you a poisoned apple. You were asleep for many years. I kissed you, and you woke up.

　　My castle is on the other side of this forest.

　　Please come with me. I love you, and I want you to be my queen. Will you marry me?

　　You saved my life. I love you too. I will be happy to marry you.

　　Snow White and the prince rode away to the prince’s castle. The prince sent a messenger to Snow White‘s father, the kings.

　　Your majesty , I have great news. Your daughter, Snow White, is alive.

　　My daughter is alive? Where?

　　She is in the castle on the other side of the forest. The prince wants to marry her.

　　That is wonderful news!

　　I also have bad news. Your wife, the queen, is an evil magician. She put a spell on Snow White. That is why we thought she was dead.

　　That is terrible. I can’t allow her to put evil spells on people. Guards! Arrest the queen.

　　The king’s guards ran to arrest the queen. But when they went to her room, it was empty. The queen ran away, and no one saw her ever again.

　　Snow White and the prince were married that year. The dwarves made wedding rings with the gold from their mines. People from all over the kingdom came to the wedding. Everyone was so happy, and they all wanted to see the little men who helped Snow White.

　　The dwarves were heroes. Snow White and the prince often visited the dwarves in the forest. And the dwarves often visited Snow White and the prince in their castle. They were best friends for the rest of their lives. And they all lived happily ever after.
