Ghost White and the Seven Dwarfs
Once upon a time, there was a girl white as ghosts. When she was born, everyone stood in shock for a whole hour, staring at her pale complexion. The Queen (may she rest in peace)soon died after giving birth to Ghost White. Soon, the King (may he live forever) married a new lady.
The new lady was called The Evil Queen for her deeds. It was rumored that she killed hundreds on a whim, with the catchy phrase "Off with its head!" (it is possible that she was inspired by The Red Queen of Wonderland). Soon, everyone was afraid of her, and tried not to meet her for fear she would behead them.
Ghost White, however, was the polar opposite of The Evil Queen. She was known to be caring and kind, helping out whenever possible. At times, she could be seen merrily chatting with the servants or helping out in chores (other than spinning. That was forbidden since Sleeping Beauty...).
One day, when Ghost was out in the woods, generally playing around, when The Evil Queen took out her most secret artifact - The Mirror. I had went to great lengths to investigate why it is called The Mirror, for it looked nothing like a mirror. Sure, its oval shape makes it look a little bit like a mirror, but that was where the similarities ended. The Mirror did not reflect anything at all. It was dull, matted grey, and was commonly mistaken for scrap metal, although it did not shine.
The Evil Queen told The Mirror, "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the Fairest of them all?" To this, words started appearing on The Mirror: "Human Human on the ground, it is Ghost White that I found." The Evil Queen immediately thought of killing Ghost White, but then wondered, "If I kill Ghost, the I will be unfair to her! what can I do?"
In the end, she had to making do with throwing Ghost down a rabbit hole. "If she is not on this world," The Evil Queen reasoned, "Then I would be the fairest of them all." So she went to call for the Huntsman to push Ghost White down the rabbit hole, which the Huntsman did happily. He never liked Ghost White.
From that day onward, The Evil Queen contented herself by thinking she had been fair to spare Ghost's life, and was the fairest of them all in the world. As for Ghost White, she grew up to be The White Queen of Wonderland, but that is another story for another time.
