SNOW WHITE AND RED ROSE

Once upon a time

a poor widow

and her daughters,

White Snow

and Red Rose,

aged eight and nine,

lived in an old cottage

in the wild.

White Snow

would run about

in the meadows

catching butterflies,

or gathering daffodils.

Whereas Red Rose

would rather stay at home

or go out to pick

hawthorn blossoms

near the bridge.

Nevertheless,

one day

both went

to the forest

to pick berries.

They got lost.

The night came

but they were not afraid,

because they're friends

of the goblins.

They lay

under an oak

and slept soundly

all night

because they were very tired.

When they awoke

they found themselves

by the fire

on a rug on the floor.

A peal

of laughter

was heard;

soon after

a dwarf

came leaping

down the chimney.

He had a white beard

and in his hand

a can

of beer.

Then the little man

gave them a wink.

They were

not at all afraid

as he was friendly,

but they were amazed

When he rang

the bell

ten

of the same kind came

carrying a tray.

There were cherries

strawberries,

figs and raspberries;

a tea set

with tea

and milk,

toast,

butter, honey, jam,

and crisp biscuits.

They also brought

a table cloth

and table napkins

for both.

For candles they lit

pumpkins

-Feel at home.

Help yourselves.

You're our guests.

welcome to our cave.

They said

and left

Then, pleasant music

came

from the wood.

One of the dwarfs

was playing the flute.

The dwarf

with the longest beard

asked their names:

--I'm White Snow

-Not so,

he said

-Since your skin

is white as snow,

you'll be called

Snow White

hereafter.

-I'm Red Rose

-As for you,

your lips

are as red as a rose,

and you'll be called

Rose Red hereafter

Then,

he gave them

a basket

full of fruit

and a bunch of flowers

to take home

to mother.

They were very pleased

with the presents.

They promised

to come back,

then,

they kissed them

and left.
