Narrator:
Sadly, shortly after Snow White was born, her mother, the good and noble queen, died of a mysterious illness, and the king soon remarried. This new queen was truly beautiful, but her beauty went no deeper than her skin. She was a wicked and cruel woman, who was only happy when she was looking into one of her many mirrors. And when the good king perished while fighting a war in a faraway land, the new queen did not shed a single tear. For now she could tax the people heavily, and use the money to buy al sorts of lotions and potions that would maintain her great beauty. And the people of the kingdom became sad and frightened. The queen had many, many mirrors, but by far her favorite was a magic mirror, which always spoke the total and absolute truth. For many years, several times each day, the vain queen would look into her magic mirror, and ask the same question.
[repeated lines]
The Evil Queen:
Magic mirror, tell me do. Tell your mistress; tell her true. Answer me, obey my call: who's the loveliest of all?
Narrator:
And each time, the magic mirror would answer exactly the same way.
The magic mirror:
The answer, queen, is crystal clear. You are most lovely far and near.
Narrator:
And then, one fateful day, the queen received an answer of a different sort. Yes, a very different sort indeed.
