Long long ago,
lived a girl by the name Snow.
With her father the king,
and stepmother the queen.
Baby Snow never knew her mum,
for she died when Snow was very young.
along came another one,
the queen and stepmother to the young one.
The queen;
very vain and proud,
spoke about her beauty;
Oh so loud.
She dressed in expensive clothes and wore sparkling jewellery.
And swore she was the prettiest in the country.
Proof she said was a mirror,
which replied without any fear.
Answered to the question,
"Who is the prettiest of all?"
"You, my dear queen."
Be it winter or fall.
Years passed by,
the queen did not change.
Snow grew into a pretty girl,
stories of her beauty reached every range.
Her face glowed,
as white as snow.
Snow White,
was her name now known.
The mirror still hung on the wall,
Answering the same question like a puppet doll.
But once it said,
"Snow white prettiest among all"
And in thousand pieces the mirror shattered,
it fell from the wall.
Angry queen filled with ego and pride,
made plans to send Snow White on a far away ride.
She plotted and planned everyday.
And finally sent Snow White away.
To be continued......
