The Fairest of Them All

I’m the Evil Queen and I’ll tell you what the real deal was. When Snow White’s mother died and the Good King married me I thought I had made a good decision. Boy was I wrong. I brought all my belongings including my magic mirror. The first time I used the mirror Snow White was a 7 year old and wasn’t that pretty. The mirror named me prettiest of them all.

I asked the mirror every year for eight years if I was the fairest. Every year I was prettiest. One year, I went up to my mirror and asked,“Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is fairest of them all?” The mirror replied,“Snow White is fairest!” I was outraged! I ordered my Huntsman to bring her to the woods and cut out her heart. What did he do? He let her go and gave me a pig’s heart. When I learned she was loose, I decided I needed to kill her myself. I asked the mirror where she was and it said she was at the dwarf’s cottage. In a flash, I was running to my potion room.

Off I went to the cottage with a poisoned comb to put in her hair. When I got there it was only Snow so I gave her the comb. She fell to the ground and I ran off. The next day, I heard she was well and went running to the potion room. Off I was again to the cottage and when I got there I gave her the choker. She was choked as I ran off. Again I heard that she was well and was at the potion room faster than you can say Snow White is well. This time I had made a poisoned apple. Off I went to the cottage. I gave her the apple and she ate it and she fell into a deep sleep. I thought I had victory but a prince came a kissed her and she awoke. So here I am still not fairest of them all.
