A long time ago, a child was born to a queen and king and she was called Snow White. When the queen died, the king married again. This new queen was wicked and hated Snow white. The queen gave orders that Snow White was to be treated as a servant.

Snow White grew very beautiful and one day a Prince riding by, saw her at work and fell in love with her.

The queen was beautiful too, and every day she asked her Magic Mirror, "Who is the fairest in the land?" and the mirror always answered, "You are the fairest one of all".

But one day the mirror answered Snow White was the fairest in the land, and in a rage the queen gave orders to one of her Huntsmen to take Snow White into the woods and kill her.

The Huntsman had a kind heart and couldn't do the deed so told her to run away. She fled into the woods where Seven little dwarfs lived. Their house was small and strange.

Snow White entered the little house and finding it very untidy, started to clean up. Upstairs she found seven little beds. She was very tired and stretching out on one of the beds, was soon asleep.

When the Dwarfs came home they were surprised to find Snow White and after some argument, decided to let her stay. She promised to cook and look after them.

The Queen discovered where Snow White was living and disguising herself as a witch, took a poisoned apple and set out for the Dwarfs cottage. She gave Snow White the poisoned apple to eat and as soon as she bit the apple, she sank into unconsciousness.

Thinking she was dead, the Dwarfs built a glass coffin and put her in it. For days she lay in the forest in her glass coffin. One day, the Prince was riding through the forest looking for Snow White and found her. He leaned over and kissed her. She opened her eyes and sat up with a smile. Everyone was happy. The Prince took Snow White to his palace where they were married and lived happily ever after.

The Story of Snow White teaches Children Values

Snow White, voted 49^th out of the best 100 films of all times, originated as a fairy tale by the Brother's Grimm and was later produced by the famous Walt Disney in 1937. Disney is a master in the art of creating princesses that are not only popular, but are good role models to young girls. In 1989, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was added to the United States National Films Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The film was later the only animated feature on this list.

No one can resist the lovely demeanor and purity of this mistreated teenager and the intrigue between the wicked, vain, and jealous queen, the magic mirror on the wall, and Snow White's goodness that triumphs over evil. Snow White proves to be wise and kind as she talks and sings with the animals in the forest and befriends strange dwarfs in the woods. She is a good friend, a hard worker, and stands for everything demure and good.

Disney princess items have become a global industry. From the United States to Australia, Disney princess sales have skyrocketed. Snow White is the second most popular princess, Cinderella is the first. Retail goods such as princess costumes increase in popularity and sales each year. These types of costumes are not just for Disneyland any more, they are worn every day by princess enthusiasts alike. Girls are not the only ones wearing them, the adult princesses dress industry is steadily increasing as well.

What can we learn from this? Young girls look up to the goodness and purity of the Disney princesses. They love Sleeping Beauty for her loveliness, and Cinderella for her charm and confidence, Snow White for her purity, and Belle for her intelligence and non-judgmental attitude. Let us foster this positive influence in our girls lives.
