There once was a queen who was very beautiful, but she was very
vain. The queen knew she was very beautiful, and she thought about
her beauty all the time. She could not bear to think that anyone might
be more beautiful than she.The queen had a magic mirror, and she would look into it and say:“Mirror, mirror on the wall,Who is fairest of us all?”[Have half the class repeat the queen’s lines.]
And the mirror would answer:“You, Queen, are the fairest of us all.”[Have the other half of the class repeat the mirror’s lines.]
And she was satisfied, for she knew the mirror spoke the truth. Show image 8A-2: Snow White playing outside

As Snow White grew up, she grew prettier and prettier, and when she
was seven years old, she was more beautiful than the queen herself. Show image 8A-1: Queen and magic mirror
