Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Once upon a time in a great castle, a Prince's daughter grew up happy and contented, in spite of a
jealous stepmother. She was very pretty, with blue eyes and long black hair. Her skin was delicate and
fair, and so she was called Snow White. Everyone was quite sure she would become very beautiful.
Though her stepmother was a wicked woman, she too was very beautiful, and the magic mirror told her
this every day, whenever she asked it.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the loveliest lady in the land?" The reply was always; "You are,
your Majesty," until the dreadful day when she heard it say, "Snow White is the loveliest in the land." The
stepmother was furious and, wild with jealousy, began plotting to get rid of her rival. Calling one of her
trusty servants, she bribed him with a rich reward to take Snow White into the forest, far away from the
Castle. Then, unseen, he was to put her to death. The greedy servant, attracted to the reward, agreed to
do this deed, and he led the innocent little girl away. However, when they came to the fatal spot, the
man's courage failed him and, leaving Snow White sitting beside a tree, he mumbled an excuse and ran
off. Snow White was all alone in the forest.

Night came, but the servant did not return. Snow White, alone in the dark forest, began to cry bitterly.
She thought she could feel terrible eyes spying on her, and she heard strange sounds and rustlings that
made her heart thump. At last, overcome by tiredness, she fell asleep curled under a tree.
At last, dawn woke the forest to the song of the birds, and Snow White too, awoke. A whole world was
stirring to life and the little girl was glad to see how silly her fears had been. However, the thick trees
were like a wall round her, and as she tried to find out where she was, she came upon a path. She walked
along it, hopefully. On she walked till she came to a clearing. There stood a strange cottage, with a tiny
door, tiny windows and a tiny chimney pot. Everything about the cottage was much tinier than it ought to
be. Snow White pushed the door open.

"I'll make them something to eat. When they come home, they'll be glad to find a meal ready." Towards
dusk, seven tiny men marched homewards singing. But when they opened the door, to their surprise they
found a bowl of hot steaming soup on the table, and the whole house spick and span. Upstairs was Snow
White, fast asleep on one of the beds. The chief dwarf prodded her gently.

"Who are you?" he asked. Snow White told them her sad story, and tears sprang to the dwarfs' eyes.
Then one of them said, as he noisily blew his nose:

"You can live here and tend to the house while we're down the mine. Don't worry about your
stepmother leaving you in the forest. We love you and we'll take care of you!" Snow White gratefully
accepted their hospitality, and next morning the dwarfs set off for work. But they warned Snow White not
to open the door to strangers.

Meanwhile, the servant had returned to the castle, with the heart of a roe deer. He gave it to the cruel
stepmother, telling her it belonged to Snow White, so that he could claim the reward. Highly pleased, the
stepmother turned again to the magic mirror. But her hopes were dashed, for the mirror replied: "The
loveliest in the land is still Snow White, who lives in the seven dwarfs' cottage, down in the forest." The
stepmother was beside herself with rage.

"She must die! She must die!" she screamed. Disguising herself as an old peasant woman, she put a
poisoned apple with the others in her basket. Then, taking the quickest way into the forest, she crossed the
swamp at the edge of the trees. She reached the bank unseen, just as Snow White stood waving goodbye to
the seven dwarfs on their way to the mine.

Snow White was in the kitchen when she heard the sound at the door: KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Who's there?" she called suspiciously, remembering the dwarfs advice.

"I'm an old peasant woman selling apples," came the reply.

"I don't need any apples, thank you," she replied.

"But they are beautiful apples and ever so juicy!" said the velvety voice from outside the door.

"I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said the little girl, who was reluctant to disobey her
friends.

"And quite right too! Good girl! If you promised not to open up to strangers, then of course you can't
buy. You are a good girl indeed!" Then the old woman went on.

"And as a reward for being good, I'm going to make you a gift of one of my apples!" Without a further
thought, Snow White opened the door just a tiny crack, to take the apple.

"There! Now isn't that a nice apple?" Snow White bit into the fruit, and as she did, fell to the ground in
a faint: the effect of the terrible poison left her lifeless instantaneously.

Now chuckling evilly, the wicked stepmother hurried off. But as she ran back across the swamp, she
tripped and fell into the quicksand. No one heard her cries for help, and she disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, the dwarfs came out of the mine to find the sky had grown dark and stormy. Loud thunder
echoed through the valleys and streaks of lightning ripped the sky. Worried about Snow White they ran as
quickly as they could down the mountain to the cottage.

There they found Snow White, lying still and lifeless, the poisoned apple by her side. They did their best
to bring her around, but it was no use.

They wept and wept for a long time. Then they laid her on a bed of rose petals, carried her into the
forest and put her in a crystal coffin.

Each day they laid a flower there.

Then one evening, they discovered a strange young man admiring Snow White's lovely face through the
glass. After listening to the story, the Prince (for he was a prince!) made a suggestion.

"If you allow me to take her to the Castle, I'll call in famous doctors to waken her from this peculiar
sleep. She's so lovely I'd love to kiss her!" He did, and as though by magic, the Prince's kiss broke the
spell. To everyone's astonishment, Snow White opened her eyes. She had amazingly come back to life!
Now in love, the Prince asked Snow White to marry him, and the dwarfs reluctantly had to say good bye
to Snow White.

From that day on, Snow White lived happily in a great castle. But from time to time, she was drawn
back to visit the little cottage down in the forest.


Rapunzel
There was a man and his wife who wanted a child for many years. They lived
next to a witch, who had a garden that was surrounded by a wall.
The wife wanted some lettuce so bad that her husband agreed to sneak into the
witchs garden and get some.
The witch caught the man and made a deal with him. He could take the
lettuce but when they had a child the witch would get the baby.
When the couple had a baby the witch came and took the girl and called her
Rapunzel. The witch put her into a high tower that did not have a door. It only had
a small window at the top. The witch would come every morning and climb up
Rapunzels hair to get into the tower.
One day a Prince came by and heard Rapunzels song. He watched the witch
and learned how to get into the tower. Later he climbed into the tower on
Rapunzels hair. They became friends and decided to get married.
The witch found out and cut off Rapunzels hair and took her to a desert.
When the Prince came the witch was waiting for him. The Prince fell into a thorn
bush and he became blinded by the thorns.
He wandered around for years until he found Rapunzel. Her tears fell into
the Princes eyes and he was able to see again. They returned to his castle and
were married.














Bubbles
"Now, Tommie, what will you do while I write letters this morning?"
"Blow soap bubbles, Mamma, please," and Tommie jumped up and down, clapping his hands for
pleasure.
"Well, run and get me your pipe and bowl and I will mix you some suds."
The soap-suds were soon ready, and Tommie took his favorite position on the broad window-sill
with the bowl in his lap.
Mamma, writing in the next room, could hear the Oh's and squeals of delight, as the bubbles
grew larger and rounder.
"Why is Tommie in all the bubbles?" asked the little boy at last.
"Because, said Mamma, "the bubbles are like a mirror, and when my little boy is near enough to
look at them, he will be reflected in them, just the same as when he looks in Mamma's long
mirror."
"But the mirror doesn't break like the bubbles," said Tommie. "Where do they go when they
break, Mamma?"
"They evaporate, dear; that is a big word for my little boy. Spell it after Mamma and then
perhaps you will remember. E-v-a-p-o-r-a-t-e evaporate."
"What does evaporate mean," asked Tommie bringing out the long word with a jerk.
"Do you remember, dear," answered Mamma, "that early in the morning when the grass is all
wet with dew, my little boy cannot run in it without his rubbers? But before long it is all dry and
then my little boy takes off his rubbers and does not get his feet wet. The sun and the air absorb
or suck up the water and carry it off to their homes. Now, the bubbles are made of a little water
and a little air. The water is on the end of the pipe, and Tommie blows the air into the pipe, and
the bubble grows big and round. When it breaks, the air sucks up the water, which was the
outside of the bubble, and the air which was inside mixes with the air in the room."
"Now do you suppose you can tell Papa all about it, when he comes home to dinner?" asked
Mamma.
"Of course I can," said Tommie, proudly. "Haven't you just told me all about it?"


The Golden Fish
UPON a certain island in the middle of the sea dwelt an old man and his wife. They were so poor that
they often went short of bread, for the fish he caught were their only means of livelihood.
One day when the man had been fishing for many hours without success, he hooked a small Gold Fish, whose
eyes were bright as diamonds.
"Let me go, kind man," the little creature cried. "I should not make a mouthful either for yourself or your wife,
and my own mate waits for me down in the waters." The old man was so moved by his pleadings that he took
him off the hook and threw him back into the sea. Before he swam off to rejoin his mate, the Gold Fish
promised that in return for his kindness he would come to the fisherman's help if ever he wanted him.
Laughing merrily at this, for he did not believe that a fish could help him except by providing him with food,
the old man went home and told his wife. "What!" she cried, "you actually let him go when you had caught
him? It was just like your stupidity. We have not a scrap of bread in the house, and now, I suppose, we must
starve!"
Her reproaches continued for so long that though he scarcely believed what the fish had said, the poor old
man thought that at least it would do no harm to put him to the test. He therefore hastened back to the shore,
and stood at the very edge of the waves.
"Golden Fish, Golden Fish!" he called. "Come to me, I pray, with your tail in the water, and your head lifted
up toward me!" As the last word was uttered the Gold Fish popped up his head.
"You see I have kept my promise," he said. "What can I do for you, my good friend?" "There is not a scrap of
bread in the house," quavered the old man, "and my wife is very angry with me forletting you go.
"Don't trouble about that!" said the Gold Fish in an off-hand manner; "you will find bread, and to spare, when
you go home." And the old man hurried away to see if his little friend had spoken truly.
Surely enough, he found that the pan was full of fine white loaves. "I did not do so badly for you after all, good
wife!" he said, as they ate their supper; but his wife was anything but satisfied. The more she had, the more she
wanted, and she lay awake planning what they should demand from the Gold Fish next. "Wake up, you lazy
man!" she cried to her husband, early next morning. "Go down to the sea and tell your fish that I must have a
new washtub." The old man did as his wife bade him, and the moment he called the Gold Fish reappeared. He
seemed quite willing to grant the new request, and on his return home the old man found a beautiful new
washtub in the small yard at the back of their cabin.
"Why didn't you ask for a new cabin too?" his wife said angrily. "If you had had a grain of sense you would
have done this without being told. Go back at once, and say that we must have one.
The old man was rather ashamed to trouble his friend again so soon; but the Gold Fish was as obliging as
ever.
"Very well," he said, "a new cabin you shall have." And the old mart found one so spick-and-span that he
hardly dare cross the floor for fear of soiling it. It would have pleased him greatly had his wife been contented,
but she, good woman, did nothing but grumble still.
"Tell your Gold Fish," she said next day, "that I want to be a duchess, with many servants at my beck and call,
and a splendid carriage to drive in. Once more her wish was granted, but now her husband's plight was hard
indeed. She would not let him share her palace, but ordered him off to the stables, where he was forced to keep
company with her grooms. In a few days, however, he grew reconciled to his lot, for here he could live in
peace, while he learned that she was leading those around her a terrible life, it was not long before she sent
for him again.
"Summon the Gold Fish," she commanded haughtily, "and tell him I wish to be Queen of the Waters, and to
rule over all the fish." "Make your wife the Queen of the Waters?" exclaimed the Gold Fish. "That is the last
thing I should do. She is unfit to reign, for she cannot rule herself or her desires. I shall make her once more a
poor old woman. Adieu! You will see me no more." The old man returned sorrowfully with this unpleasant
message, to find the palace transformed into a humble cabin, and his wife in a skirt of threadbare stuff in place
of the rich brocade which she had worn of late. She was sad and humble, and much more easy to live with than
she had been before. Her husband therefore had occasion many times to think gratefully of the Gold Fish, and
sometimes when drawing up his net the glint of the sun upon the scales of his captives would give him a
moment's hope-which, alas! was as often disappointed-that once again he was to see his benefactor.

part in the water. The Frog, one day intent on mischief, bound the foot of
the Mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, the Frog first of all
led his friend the Mouse to the meadow where they were accustomed to
find their food. After this, he gradually led him towards the pool in
which he lived, until reaching the very brink, he suddenly jumped in,
dragging the
Mouse with him. The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam

upon it with his talons, carried it aloft. The Frog, being still fastened to
the leg of the Mouse, was also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by

The Farmer and the Wolf

One day a wolf came to the farm. He watched the sheep eating
grasses. He did not catch the sheep. He did not eat them. He just sat down
and watched.

The farmer thought the wolf was good. The wolf can be
trusted, the farmer said to himself.

One day the farmer went to town. He asked the wolf to watch the
sheep. He said: take good care of the sheep. I shall bring some good for you
when I come back.

Then the farmer went away.

The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his
den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts
had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and
presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the
cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. "I
am very middling," replied the Lion, "but why do you stand
without? Pray enter within to talk with me." "No, thank you,"
said the Fox. "I notice that there are many prints of feet
entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning."
He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.













The Frog Want a Ruler

A long time ago there lived some frogs in a pond. All the
time they argued with one another. So they decided to have a ruler
who would solve their problems. One day they went to the gods and
begged for a ruler.

The gods sent them a ruler in the form of a log. The new
ruler splashed into the water and frightened all the frogs. They hid
in the mud and behind trees. They could not have the freedom they
had before. This fear kept them in awe for a while.

Then one frog, who was bolder than the rest, went out to
see how matters were with the new ruler. It noticed that the log was
lying very still.

So it went and informed the other frogs that the new ruler
was very tame. Since they had nothing to fear, the frogs ignored the
log and started fighting with one another was before.
A second time they went to the gods and asked for
another ruler. The gods agreed. But this time they sent them a
snake. The snake started eating up the frogs. So there were no more
fights no more frogs.







Outside My Window

What is it that you see outside your window?
Outside my window
I have a nature film
The apple tree is in blossom
Pink flowering branches
Waving in the breeze.
Oh, what joy it brings to me!

Outside my window
I have an orchestra,
Birds big and small
Singing in the apple tree
Feeling so free.
Oh, what joy it brings to me!

Outside my window
I see the beginnings of spring.
Birds on the wing
Looking for places to nest
Flying by with twigs and grass
Oh, what joy it brings to me!

Outside my window
My cat Sid on the sill
Looking at all the wonder
My cat only has to ponder
How to get the bird thats in the tree
What a lark, what a spree
Seeing the bird and the cat
Living side by side
Oh, what joy it brings to me!







Autumns A Comin

Isn't sad when the leaves fall and the first cold winds blow?

I was walkin down a country road
Just whistlin a mindless tune.
When the wind started blowin
And a golden leaf blew down
At my feet and I realized
That the autumn was a comin.

Oh my dear
I greatly fear
That summers at an end.
Soon the days will be growin
So much shorter
And the nights will be
So much longer.
I feel so lonely
That I could cry
And I wonder why?

So my darlin
Take my hand
And lets walk down the country road
A ways.
Among the swirls of reds, oranges and browns
While the golden sun is still warm upon us
And the trees are not bare yet.
Lets go a runnin through the wood
Before autumn comes a knockin
Upon our door.






Don't Feel Deep Sorrow

Don't look a bit run-down,
Life has its ups and downs.

World is full of good and bad,
All are not foe, don't go mad.

Let's face the facts,
Things are not all cracked.

Let's clean up our acts,
Don't stick to the facts.

Hey my dear! Don't be woeful,
With grief, life is meaningful.

In weeping we take refuge, tops,
Flowers freshened with dew drops.

Life is a tale of woe,
Don't feel deep sorrow,
Life has its own shadow,
Don't make it taboo.

Too many are alone like you,
The many suffer wounds of time as you,
Don't feel deep sorrow,
Don't kick up a row.

Heaven is for us tomorrow,
See God, don't you know?

Leave the world up to God,
Pray for world side by side.




If...

If I were free,
like a bird in the sky,
could I fly with ease?
If I were a fish,
deep within the sea,
would I be free of all my worries?

If I were a lion,
stalking my prey,
would I fear none?
If I were a saint,
Up in the mountains,
Would I be free of all my sins?

If I were god,
Up in the heavens,
Would I guide everyone?
If I were a devil,
Roaming idle minds,
Could I harm everyone?

If I were dead,
Hugged by the earth,
Is this the end?
If I were a man,
Born to live and to let live,
Would I be great?

But I am the soul,
The essence of life,
Does it matter,
If I am a dog, cat or a man?

I am the soul,
So see not my surface,
For I am within...








God's Child

If God today spoke to me, and asked me, has your life been all it was meant to be?
I've loved you Lord, but sometimes I couldn't see?
There were times I would shout, do you really love me?
Yes, child without a doubt.
Can I ask you Lord, where is my child?
Next to me, said our Lord.
Does he know I loved him?
Of course my child, he's a joy!
My child, he is still your boy.
Without a doubt, he knew you loved him!
A soft, gentle child to love, and to hold!
'I sinned Lord'
When I let him go, I have lived my life in vain.
'Why'
My child, there is nothing to gain from sorrow?
Tell me Lord?
How will I live my tomorrow?
Believe me child, the world will know your name!
And why Lord, would anyone want to know my name?
Teach them, for they do not know what riches they have to gain!
Don't forget I loved you, before I knew your name!
'But Lord forgive me'
For I have lived a life of shame.
No my chi! ld, you are not to blame.
I am not strong Lord, but I have learned to let you be my guide!
'Come Child'
Come, sit by my side!
To my son in heaven, he is home with you my Lord.
Love him, and keep him next to you.
'for me'
