Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Snow White. In a faraway kingdom, nestled among towering mountains
and lush forests, there was a realm where magic and
wonder flourished. This kingdom was ruled by a benevolent king
and his queen, who had long wished for a child.
One winter's day, as the queen sat by her window,
sewing and gazing at the falling snow, she pricked her

(00:21):
finger with a needle. A single drop of blood fell
on to the snow, and the queen, mesmerized by the
stark contrast, wished for a daughter with skin as white
as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as
black as ebony. Soon after, her wish came true, and
a beautiful baby girl was born, whom they named snow White.

(00:42):
Years passed, and snow White grew into a kind, hearted
and lovely young woman, adored by all. However, their happiness
was shattered when the queen fell ill and passed away.
The king, seeking companionship, remarried a woman of great beauty,
but with a heart full of envy and darkness. This
new queen possessed a magical mirror which she often consulted.

(01:05):
Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the fairest of
them all? She would ask. The mirror always replied, you,
my Queen, are the fairest of them all, and the
Queen was satisfied. But as snow White matured, her beauty blossomed,
and one day the mirror responded differently, Queen, you are fair,
tis true, but snow White is fairer than you. Consumed

(01:26):
by jealousy, the Queen's heart burned with rage, she ordered
a huntsman to take snow White into the forest and
kill her, bringing back her heart at proof. The huntsman, though,
was moved by snow White's innocence and beauty, he could
not bring himself to harm her, and instead let her go,
telling her to flee and never return. To deceive the queen,

(01:48):
he brought back the heart of a wild boar. Terrified
and alone, snow White wandered through the dense forest until
she stumbled upon a quaint cottage. Exhausted, she entered and
found so seven tiny beds, realizing that the cottage belonged
to seven dwarfs who worked in a nearby mine. When
the dwarfs returned home, they were surprised to find snow

(02:09):
White asleep. After she awoke, She explained her plight, and
the Dwarfs, moved by her story, offered her shelter in
exchange for her help with housework. Snow White's presence brought
joy to the cottage, and the days passed peacefully. However,
the queen, still believing snow White was dead, asked her
mirror once more, Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is

(02:32):
the fairest of them all? To her horror, the mirror
revealed the truth snow White, who dwells with the seven Dwarfs,
is the fairest of them all. And raged, the queen
devised a plan to kill snow White herself. She disguised
herself as an old peddler woman and visited the cottage,
offering snow White a poisoned apple. Unaware of the danger,

(02:53):
snow White took a bite and fell into a deep,
deathlike sleep. The dwarf's heart broken, placed snow White in
a glass coffin, unable to bury her because she looked
so alive and beautiful. Time passed until one day a
prince who had heard tales of her beauty and kindness,
stumbled upon the coffin while hunting. Captivated by her, he

(03:15):
asked to take her to his castle. As his servants
carried the coffin, they stumbled, causing the piece of poisoned
apple to dislodge from snow White's throat. She awoke, and
the prince, overjoyed, proposed to her on the spot. Snow
White excepted, and they returned to his kingdom, where they
were married and lived happily ever after. The wicked Queen,

(03:36):
upon learning that snow White lived, was consumed by her
own bitterness and jealousy. Her end came swiftly as her
own malice turned against her, ensuring that peace and joy
reigned in snow White's life forever
