Snow White Stories (Continued)

The Snow Princess - Fiona

     Once upon a time, there was a girl names Snow Princess.  Her dad died a few years ago, but her mom was still alive (her mom's name was Olive).
     But the only problem was that Olive had been sprayed with magic that made her evil and want to be the prettiest.  Right now Snow Princess was the prettiest.
     A few months later Snow Princess ran away.  Later, Olive noticed.  She sent a guard out to cut off the head of Snow Princess.  But when the guard found Snow Princess he thought she was so pretty he let her go. 
     Soon after, Snow Princess found a little house with seven trolls sleeping on seven little beds with seven little plates and seven little cups.  About an hour later Snow Princess fell asleep.  When Snow Princess woke up the seven trolls were gone.  Not so far away Olive was dressed as a little girl selling the newspaper.  When Olive rang the doorbell Snow Princess opened it and got sprayed with a bottle of poison.  When the trolls got home they gave Snow Princess some medicine. 
     When Olive got home she decided this time she would go to the little house dressed as a boy who had no friends and to bring a pie that had poison in it.  When Olive came to the little house, Snow Princess played until the trolls came home.  Later that evening Snow Princess took a lick of the pie and fell on the floop.  The trolls gave her a magic kiss and Snow Princess woke up.
     Olive decided she would go to the little house dressed up as a girl selling girl scout cookies.  When Olive opened the door she got sprayed with a bottle of permanent poison and died.
     Finally, Snow Princess moved back into the palace and got married.  Then lived happily ever after!

      The king remarried right away, but this time the mother was cruel.  Every now and then the queen would check her magic mirror.  When Sterling Silver was 17 the queen asked her to go pick berries.  Sterling walked for hours in the forest.  Finally, she stopped to rest.  She leaned on a tree.  Suddenly the tree opened up and Sterling Silver tumbled through darkness and landed on the floor of the home of the 7 pixies.  THUD!!  When she was again conscious she was greeted by 7 pixies, Juno, Minerva, Artemis, Daisy, Saturn, Mercury and Venus.
     Meanwhile, back at the castle the queen found out that Sterling Silver was still alive and so she went to sell poison lemonade.
     "Would you like some?".  "Yes", said Silver.  Why as soon as she drank some she fell to the floor.  "What do we do?", asked Venus when they saw her.  Suddenly Sterling Silver coughed and she woke up.  The kingdom danced for a whole week.  Sterling got married to a prince and they found Sterling Silver's mom.  They all lived happily ever after.  The End.

Snow White and the Candy's - Anonymous

     Once upon a time in a little town called Ahethns a little girl named Snow White was born.  But soon her mom died and so her dad the king took another wife.  This wife was cruel and mean to Snow White.  She wanted to be the most pretty in the land.  But many boys looked at Snow White not her.  So she told a guard to lock Snow White in the dungeon.  But Snow White overheard and ran away into the woods.  But she left a trail of wrappers she meant to throw away because she loves gum.  Then she smelled some candy.  All of a sudden a house of candy appeared.  When she went inside she was greeted by 7 types of candy - Jellybeans, M&M's, lollipops, popsicles, banana splits, Butterfinger and Hershey bars.  The jellybean person welcomed her and she told her story.  Then, she said you may stay here.  So she did.  But one day the queen saw the trail and took off.  Then she found Snow White and went back to make poisoned gum to get rid of her.  So then the wicked queen hid herself like an old peddler and poor Snow White did now know and ate the gum.  But as soon as she bit down she fell down on a bed.  Then the queen laughed and left.  When the candy's came home one plopped next to her and the bed bent down.  Then the candy got up and the bed went up and the gum flew out of her mouth.  So she started to breathe.  The queen went back to see if her plan had worked and when she saw Snow White alive she sprinted back to try something else.  Then, she made a poison gladd slipper.  The candy's told Snow White not to open the door to people she didn't know.  But the queen made herself look like a farmer's wife and said, "lovely things for sale".

     One day a prince was riding on his horse and saw her.  He found the candy's and asked "may I have her"?  I will give you anything you want, I will die without her.  The candy's took pity on th e kind mand and gave her to him.  On the way back to the castle a guard stumbled and the violet flower flew out her hands so she woke up.  She sat up and asked "where and I"?  The prince said, "you are here with me and I will love you".  "Will you marry me"?  She said yes and they found out that her wicked step mother had died.  So they lived happily ever after.
