Mirror Mirror


This story is based on "Snow White," the story of a princess who was poor and the stepmother was rich.  The stepmother had fancy clothes and the princess didn't.  The stepmother was being really mean to the princess, and making her do all the chores.  Then, the princess escaped into the woods.  Then, she found this man hanging upside down on a tree, hung up by a rope.  He didn't have a shirt on!  She took the man she found into the castle and showed him to the queen.  The queen thought he was so handsome she wanted to marry him.  The man said "Okay."  

One of the funny parts in the movie was when the queen got this love potion, they had wine together, and the queen put the love potion into the wine that the man was drinking.  Then he started to act like a dog!  He was saying, "Oh, scratch my back--I have an itchy spot!"  He was also panting!  Then, the queen looked at the love potion again.  It said, "Love" on the bottle, and then the queen said, "Love."  Then she turned the bottle around and it had a puppy on the back!  Then she said, "Puppy love!"

A scary part in the movie was when a beast showed up in the forest when the princess went in with the man.  The beast chased them around the forest.  He was really fast.  He looked like half-dragon, half-snake, and also a lizard.  He also looked sort of human.  The man and the princess were fighting the monster as hard as they could.  Finally, the man gave the princess his dad's dagger that he gave to her.  Then, she noticed the beast had this necklace on, and she cut the necklace off.  Then, the beast turned into the princess's father!

When they got back to the castle, the wedding between the queen and the man was getting started.  Everybody thought that the king was dead, but he turned out to be the beast.  Then the princess and the man started talking to each other during the dancing, making friends with each other.  The queen's magic mirror was in a deep, dark hallway.  All she had to say to get in was "Mirror, mirror," then the mirror turned into a hologram that makes you disappear.  There was this little house above the water, and there were all these pictures of the queen, and one of them talked.  It said something will happen to you if you use too much magic, and you already have.  Finally, her magic did do something to her--it made her very old.  

Then, the queen did the magic apple trick on the princess.  The very different part is that the princess didn't fall for it!  She said, "Nice try, Mother!"  She recognized that the queen was going to give her a poisonous apple.  And the princess and the new prince who was friends with the princess lived happily ever after!
