Long, long ago, in the winter-time,
when the snowflakes were falling like
little white feathers from the sky,
a beautiful Queen sat beside her window,
which was framed in black ebony, and
stitched. As she worked, she looked
sometimes at the falling snow, and
so it happened that she pricked her
finger with her needle, so that three
drops of blood fell upon the snow.
How pretty the red blood looked upon
the dazzling white! The Queen said
to herself as she saw it, "Ah me!
If only I had a dear little child
as white as the snow, as rosy as the
blood, and with hair as black as the
ebony window-frame."
Soon afterwards a little daughter
came to her, who was white as snow,
rosy as the blood, and whose hair
was as black as ebony--so she was
called "Little Snow-White" ...
So, turn off that MTV and get your
children reading the words that will
deepen their soul and exalt their
spirit as well as your own. Check
