English Original
Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden—snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the huts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.
The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."
Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white. But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.
One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman. A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queen's room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."
Years went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. Every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."
When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am." Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.
After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."
The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the King's house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away.
Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me."
She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.
The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water.
But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Men's bed. They said, "She is very beautiful."
Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story.
They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door is shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men.
After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queen's servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead.
The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good."
Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was in her mouth, she fell down dead. The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. She looked into the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" The glass said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Then the Queen knew that Snow-white was dead.
The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was." Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they went away.
Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box. He said, "She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There is a hall in the garden of my father's house. It is all made of white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of beautiful white stone."
The Little Men said, "Take her." Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell, and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"
The Prince said, "You are with me. I never saw anyone as beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."
The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.
A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it she was so angry that she fell down dead.
Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little Men came to see her every year.

从前，有一位王后。她坐在窗边。窗外的花园里积满了雪——山上是雪，小路上是雪，小屋上和树上也是雪：万物都被雪染成了白色。
王后正在为一个小孩子做一件外套。她说：“我希望我的孩子能像这块布一样白，像雪一样白。我要叫她‘白雪公主’。”
几天后，王后生下了一个孩子。这孩子像雪一样白。王后给她取名为白雪公主。但王后病得很重，几天后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来，成了一个非常快乐、美丽的孩子。
一年后，国王娶了另一位王后。新王后非常美丽，但她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了这位王后一面镜子。这面镜子会说话。它挂在王后房间的墙上。每天王后都照镜子，看自己有多美。她照镜子时，会问：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最美丽的人？”镜子会开口说：“王后是世界上最美丽的。”
几年过去了。白雪公主长大了，成了一个小姑娘。每天王后都照镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最美丽的人？”镜子说：“白雪公主是世界上最美丽的。”
王后听到这话，非常生气。她说：“白雪公主没有我美。没有人比我更美。”然后王后坐在床上哭了起来。
一小时后，王后走出房间。她叫来一个仆人，说：“把白雪公主带到森林里去杀了她。”
仆人把白雪公主带到森林里，但他没有杀她，因为她太美丽、太善良了。他说：“我不会杀你；但不要回国王的房子，因为王后很生气，她会看到你。如果王后看到你，她会叫别人来杀你。在森林里等着；会有朋友来帮你的。”然后他就走了。
可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树下哭了起来。然后她看到天快黑了。她说：“我不哭了。我要找个房子今晚睡觉。我不能待在这里：熊会吃了我的。”
她走进森林深处。然后她看到一座小木屋。她打开小屋的门，走了进去。在小屋里，她看到七张小床。有一张桌子，桌子上有七个小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了一个面包。然后她说：“我想喝点水。”于是她从一个杯子里喝了些水。然后她在其中一张小床上睡着了。
这座小木屋是七个小矮人的家。天黑时，七个小矮人回到了小屋。每个小矮人都有一把大胡子，穿着一件蓝色的小外套。每个小矮人走进小屋，拿起自己的小灯。然后每个小矮人都坐下来，吃自己的小面包，喝自己小杯子里的水。
但一个小矮人说：“有人吃了我的小面包。”另一个小矮人说：“有人喝了我小杯子里的水。”然后七个小矮人去睡觉，但一个小矮人说：“有人睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说：“她真漂亮。”
白雪公主醒了，看到七个留着大胡子的小矮人站在她的床边。她很害怕。小矮人们说：“别害怕。我们是你的朋友。告诉我们你是怎么来这里的。”白雪公主说：“我告诉你们。”然后她给他们讲了她的故事。
他们说：“别害怕。和我们住在这里吧。但我们不和你一起在家时，一定要把门关好。不要出去。如果你出去，坏王后会找到你。那样她就会知道你还没死，会叫人杀了你。”于是白雪公主就和七个小矮人一起住在小屋里。
几天后，白雪公主去了花园。王后的一个仆人正穿过森林，他看到了她。他去告诉王后：“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没死，非常生气。
王后拿了一个苹果。她在苹果红的那一边挖了一个洞，把一些粉末放进洞里。然后她穿上旧衣服，去了小屋。她喊道：“有人在吗？”白雪公主打开门，出来见她。王后说：“我有一些漂亮的苹果。吃一个我漂亮的苹果吧。”白雪公主接过苹果说：“好吃吗？”王后说：“看，我吃苹果白的那一边；你吃红的那一边。然后你就知道它好吃了。”
白雪公主吃了苹果红的那一边。粉末一进她嘴里，她就倒下死了。王后回到了她的房子。她走进房间。她照了照镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最美丽的人？”镜子说：“王后是世界上最美丽的。”于是王后知道白雪公主死了。
小矮人们回到了小屋。当他们看到白雪公主死了，可怜的小矮人们都哭了。然后他们把白雪公主放进一个玻璃做的箱子里。他们把玻璃箱子带到一座小山上，放在那里，说：“每个路过的人都会看到她有多美。”然后每个小矮人在箱子上放了一朵白花，就离开了。
就在他们离开的时候，一位王子路过。他看到了玻璃箱子，说：“那是什么？”然后他看到了箱子里的白雪公主。他说：“她非常美丽：但别把她放在那里。我父亲房子的花园里有一个大厅。它完全是用白石砌成的。我们把玻璃箱子搬走，放在那个美丽的白石大厅里。”
小矮人们说：“带她走吧。”于是王子吩咐他的仆人们抬起箱子。他们抬起了箱子。就在这时，一个仆人摔倒了。箱子掉了下来，白雪公主也随着箱子摔了下来。那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来：她醒了，坐起来，说：“我在哪里？”
王子说：“你和我在一起。我从未见过像你这样美丽的人。跟我来，做我的王后吧。”
王子娶了白雪公主，她成了他的王后。
一个人去把这件事告诉了坏王后。她听到后，气得倒地而死。
从此以后，白雪公主过着非常幸福的生活。小矮人们每年都来看她。
