| And the happy Prince answered, Thou are with me, dearest.
Then he told her all that had happened, and how he loved her better than the whole world, and begged her to go with him to his father's palace and be his wife.
Snow-White consented, and went with him.
The wedding was celebrated with great splendour and magnificence.
Their wedding was set for the next day, and Snow-White's godless mother was invited as well. That morning she stepped before the mirror and said:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Who in this land is fairest of all? The mirror answered: You, my queen, are fair; it is true. But the young queen Is a thousand times fairer than you. She was horrified to hear this, and so overtaken with fear that she could not say anything. Still, her jealousy drove her to go to the wedding and see the young queen. When she arrived she saw that it was Snow-White. Then she choked with rage and died of her own jalousy.
There is another end... Not knowing that this new queen was indeed her stepdaughter, she arrived at the wedding, and her heart filled with the deepest of dread when she realized the truth. As punishment for her wicked ways, a pair of heated iron shoes were brought forth with tongs and placed before the Queen. She was then forced to step into these and dance until she fell down dead. So I give you my own interpretation of this end...
