儿童故事 白雪公主 英语 有声

The dwarfs led the pair to the place where Snow White lay, and the wizard checked her. Sadly, he said: ‘It is true that the maiden is not completely dead, but my spells cannot rouse her. She is afflicted by a terrible enchanted poison. There is a small chance she could be saved, but it would require the true love of many people. The poison is very powerful, and true love is the only antidote.’ At this the dwarfs exclaimed that each of them had loved Snow White as he would his own daughter, and each began earnestly thinking of her kindness and good nature. The wizard cast spells to focus these loving thoughts to encounteract the poison, but the poison was too powerful, and Snow White remained still. All this time the prince had been gazing at Snow White, and suddenly found himself falling deeply in love with her. The prince’s love combined with that of the dwarfs, and very slowly Snow White began to stir. Her stirrings were so small at first the prince and dwarfs feared they were imagining them, but then her chest began to rise and fall with signs of breathing, and then her eyelids fluttered. Finally, Snow White opened her eyes and raised herself to a sitting position, and said, ‘Where am I?’ And the dwarfs gave out a great cheer!
