This fairytale is mostly the same as the Disney version. However, there are some significant differences. The first difference is when the queen disguises herself to go trick and kill Snow White she laces Snow White. Snow White then loses her breath and dies. Unlike the Disney version though, the dwarfs return to the cottage in time to unlace Snow White and save her. The evil queen tries once again to kill Snow White by poisoning a comb and tricking her into combing her hair with it. Once again, however, the dwarfs return in time to save her. Like the Disney version though, Snow White is finally killed from a poisoned apple. When the king's son finds Snow White in the glass coffin, he wants to take it home with him. As he carries it away, he trips, and the apple is coughed up from Snow White's throat. Snow White is alive because he tripped, not because true love's kiss.
This fairytale could also be used for a compare and contrast with the Disney version.
This fairytale would also be good to teach sequencing of events.
