Snow White A version of the tale by TheFableCottage.com Once upon a time,
2
in a kingdom very far away,
3
there lived a king and a queen.
4
The king was handsome and kind.
5
Everybody loved him.
6
But the real ruler of the kingdom was his wife, the queen.
7
Before she became queen, she worked in the castle kitchen.
8
She was very poor, but she was also very beautiful and funny and very good at scrabble.
9
So the king fell in love with her and married her.
10
The king loved the queen very much,
11
but the queen was always afraid that the king would meet someone more beautiful.
12
Luckily, the queen had a magic mirror.
13
The mirror saw everything and knew everything.
14
Every day, the queen looked at herself in the mirror and asked,
15
Magic mirror on the wall,
16
who is the most beautiful of all?
17
And the mirror replied, You are my queen,
18
you are the most beautiful woman in the whole world.
19
The queen was happy.
20
She knew there was nobody in the world as beautiful as her.
21
But one day, everything changed.
22
The queen stood in front of the mirror and asked her usual question.
23
Magic mirror on the wall,
24
who is the most beautiful of all?
25
And the mirror replied, You are very beautiful,
26
my queen, but the most beautiful woman in the world is Snow White.
27
The queen was shocked.
28
Who is this Snow White?
29
She asked the mirror.
30
White works in the castle kitchen.
31
She has hair black as night,
32
lips as red as roses,
33
and skin as white as snow.
34
As of 8am this morning,
35
she is a wee bitty bit more beautiful than you.
36
Ah! yelled the Queen.
37
She stomped her feet.
38
She pulled her hair.
39
Then she sat down and sobbed.
40
I will lose everything.
41
The queen was afraid, and that fear turned her heart cold and hard.
42
She called a trusted hunter to her room.
43
Find the girl, Snow White, she ordered.
44
Take her far, far away.
45
Take her deep into the woods.
46
And then the queen looked deep into the hunter's eyes.
47
He must never come back.
48
The hunter found Snow White and took her into the forest.
49
When they reached the deepest,
50
darkest part of the forest, the hunter stopped.
51
Go, he whispered.
52
Run fast and far and don't ever go home.
53
Snow White watched the hunter disappear.
54
Well, I can't go home now, she muttered.
55
She looked around at the dark and silent forest.
56
It started to rain.
57
But I can't stay here either.
58
OK, feet, let's go.
59
Snow White ran and ran.
60
She ran across a stream,
61
up a hill, and down into a dark valley.
62
She She ran all morning.
63
By midday, her pale skin and rosy cheeks were covered in mud and scratches.
64
By early afternoon, her long black hair was full of sticks and leaves.
65
By night, she was not beautiful anymore.
66
She was tired, hungry and shivering with cold.
67
But then Snow White smelled wood smoke in the air.
68
She followed the smell and found a cottage in the woods.
69
There was a warm, golden glow from the windows.
70
She knocked on the door.
71
Hello?
72
She called out.
73
Is anyone home?
74
There was no answer.
75
She pushed the door open and went inside.
76
Inside the cottage were seven tiny beds,
77
seven tiny chairs and a roaring fire.
78
A big table was covered with dirty dishes.
79
Snow White was very hungry and thirsty.
80
She found some bread and ate the whole loaf.
81
She found some milk and drank the whole bottle.
82
Then she sat in front of the fire to get warm.
83
And just like that, she fell asleep.
84
When she woke up, there were seven dwarfs standing around her.
85
Snow White rubbed her eyes.
86
Who are you? she said.
87
This is our house, said one dwarf angrily.
88
Who are you?
89
Shhh!
90
You'll scare her, said another.
91
She's a giant!
92
She scares me, said yet another.
93
Can I stay with you? asked Snow White.
94
It seems I can't go home.
95
The dwarfs whispered amongst themselves.
96
Okay, they agreed.
97
But only if you help us wash the dishes.
98
We hate washing dishes.
99
It's a deal, said Snow White.
100
And so Snow White found a new home with the seven dwarfs.
101
Every morning she washed the dishes.
102
And every morning as the dwarfs left for work, they said, Be careful.
103
Don't open the door for anyone.
104
Thank you for washing the dishes.
105
We really hate washing dishes." Back at the castle,
106
the Queen was feeling better.
107
She thought Snow White was gone forever,
108
but she was still a little afraid.
109
-"Come and play Scrabble with me,
110
my love!" shouted the King from the bottom of the stairs.
111
-"You can go first.
112
Maybe later, dearest, replied the queen.
113
She stood in front of her magic mirror.
114
Magic mirror on the wall,
115
who is the most beautiful of all?
116
The mirror replied, You are very beautiful, my queen.
117
But the girl Snow White is the most beautiful woman in the world.
118
Snow White is alive! shouted the Queen.
119
She is living with the seven dwarfs in the forest, said the mirror.
120
Last night she was not very beautiful,
121
but as of 1pm today,
122
she is more beautiful than you.
123
Rats! shouted the Queen.
124
She went to her closet and got her old coat and old boots.
125
I'll have to kill her myself!
126
She ran out of the palace,
127
jumped into her fastest carriage and sped off towards the forest.
128
Snow White was reading beside the fire when there was a knock on the door.
129
Knock, knock!
130
She peeked through the window.
131
There was a woman holding a basket of fruit.
132
The woman had a beautiful face,
133
but she was wearing an old dress and old boots.
134
Fruit!
135
Fresh fruit!
136
Apples and bananas and pears and oranges!
137
Oh, I want some fruit, thought Snow White.
138
The woman saw Snow White through the window.
139
Hello, dear, said the woman.
140
Do you want some fruit?
141
I have delicious apples today.
142
I love apples, said Snow White,
143
but I'm not supposed to open the door for anyone.
144
Those apples might be poisoned.
145
Oh, how silly," said the woman.
146
She cut an apple in half.
147
Here, you can taste half,
148
and I will eat the other half.
149
That way you know it's not poisoned.
150
Snow White opened the door.
151
The woman gave one half of the apple to Snow White,
152
and ate the other half.
153
When Snow White saw the woman eating the juicy apple, her mouth watered.
154
She couldn't stop herself.
155
She took a big bite of the apple.
156
Almost immediately, Snow White fell to the ground.
157
The apple was poisoned, but only on one half.
158
The Queen sighed with relief.
159
Quickly, she got back into her carriage and rode back to the castle.
160
When the dwarfs arrived home,
161
they found Snow White lying on the floor.
162
They yelled in her ears,
163
they tickled her feet, they poured cold water on her face,
164
but she didn't wake up.
165
Is she dead? asked one dwarf.
166
She doesn't seem to be alive, said a second.
167
And so the dwarfs made a glass coffin for their beloved friend.
168
They set it on a table in a beautiful part of the forest, surrounded by flowers.
169
Snow White lay there for over a year,
170
through spring, summer, autumn and winter.
171
One day, a prince from a different kingdom was walking through the forest with his dog.
172
He saw Snow White's strange glass coffin.
173
He brushed off the leaves and saw Snow White inside.
174
Just then, he tripped over his dog and knocked the coffin off the table.
175
Snow White rolled out of the coffin and onto the grass.
176
Oh no, oh dear, oh fiddlesticks!
177
The prince shouted.
178
But then an amazing thing happened.
179
The piece of poisoned apple that was stuck in Snow White's throat fell out and she began to cough.
180
The prince rushed to help her.
181
Apples!
182
She coughed.
183
I beg your pardon? said the prince.
184
No. More.
185
Apples.
186
That night, the queen stood in front of the magic mirror and asked her question.
187
Magic mirror on the wall?
188
Who is the most beautiful of all?
189
And to her surprise, the mirror said,
190
You are very beautiful, my queen,
191
but Snow White is again the most beautiful woman in the world.
192
Whaaaaat? screamed the queen.
193
And in her anger, she picked up a shoe and threw it at the mirror.
194
The mirror smashed into a thousand pieces and the magic inside it was released.
195
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! screamed the queen.
196
She collapsed on the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
197
While she slept, the queen had a strange dream.
198
In her dream, she was dancing in hot iron shoes.
199
Her feet burned and burned,
200
but she couldn't stop dancing.
201
When the queen woke up from this terrible dream, it was morning.
202
The sun was shining, and the queen felt.. different.
203
The magic mirror's spell was broken,
204
so she didn't feel anxious or jealous anymore.
205
She felt.. free.
206
She went downstairs to find her husband.
207
She really wanted to play Scrabble.
208
And what happened to Snow White?
209
The dwarfs were very happy to see Snow White alive.
210
They invited the prince for dinner.
211
When the prince learned that nobody liked washing dishes,
212
he bought them a dishwasher.
213
Everybody lived happily ever after.
214
Amen.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
