''Would that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the window-frame.''

I read ''Snow White'' too.
Once upon a time, a queen got a little daughter. But when a child was born, the queen died. The child was so beautiful as white as snow and as red as blood and as black as wood-frame. So she called ''Little Snow White''
After a year passed, the King took him another wife. She was beautiful, but she proud and haughty woman. And she had a wonderful looking-glass. The glass told the truth, so a new queen often asked the glass ''Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?''. Then, the glass answered ''It's you''.
However, one day the glass told her ''The most beautiful woman is Snow-White''. A queen so shocked and hated the girl so much. Therefore she tried a lot things to entrap. But thanks to the beauty of Snow-White, she managed to dodge the traps of queen.
And at last, she was proposed by a price.

As you know, ''Snow-White'' is so famous tale in the world. Maybe it is because ''Snow-White'' is one of the Disney princess. However, Grimms' Snow-White is different plot from Disney's. Story of the Grimms is more cruel than that of Disney. I was especially surprised the last scene. I didn't know the queen was burnt. This is how, I think it is so interesting some difference of plot between well-known stories and originals.
