Here's a summary of the famous fable "Snow White" in English:
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Snow White. She had
a jealous stepmother, the Queen, who was obsessed with her beauty. The Queen
owned a magical mirror and would ask it every day, "Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is the fairest of them all?" The mirror always replied that Snow White was
the fairest.
This angered the Queen, so she ordered a huntsman to take Snow White into
the forest and kill her. However, the huntsman couldn't bring himself to harm
Snow White, so he let her escape. Lost in the forest, Snow White discovered a
small cottage and decided to stay there.
The cottage belonged to seven dwarfs who worked in the nearby mines. When
they returned home, they found Snow White asleep in their beds. After learning
her story, they allowed her to stay with them. Meanwhile, the Queen discovered

that Snow White was still alive, so she disguised herself as an old woman and
tricked Snow White into eating a poisoned apple.
Snow White fell into a deep sleep, and the dwarfs couldn't wake her up. A prince
passing by saw her and was captivated by her beauty. He kissed her, breaking
the spell of the poisoned apple, and Snow White woke up. They got married
and lived happily ever after.
