The Good Apple  by: Kaitlyn

Ok, I know all of you know the story of Snow White, right?  Well here is how it really went…

          Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Snow White.  Her mother was the most wicked mom in the whole entire world!  She wanted to be the queen of all the land.  She even had a magic mirror that talks.  She asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s most fairest of them all?”

          “Your daughter, Snow White,” answered the mirror.

          “What?  That can’t be! I must be the most fairest of them all to be queen of this land!”

          “Well you are not fit to be the queen, but I can tell you what you can do to be the most fairest of them all, feed Snow White an apple with poison on it.  She will be gone and you will be the queen,” said the mirror.

          “Thank you mirror,” said the wicked mother.  Underground, “Wicked” has what she calls “an evil lair”.  She had a cauldron of the poison for the apple, another for a potion that will turn her into the most ugliest, hideous, oldest, person in the land to trick Snow White into thinking she was just an old lady.  And another cauldron for chicken soup, incase she gets hungry later.  One day, the old lady was standing in front of Snow White’s house, holding an apple.  Snow White was very hungry and asked for the apple.  The old woman gave the apple to Snow White.  She ate it and nothing happened, “Oops, forgot the poison!  Oh well!”  THE END
