| Snow White, from a different perspective. |

A Dwarf
The Queen
Newscaster 2: Hello, it’s August 20, and this is your morning news.
Newscaster 1: Suspicions have been confirmed that the fugitive Show White has been found hiding out in the woods. Earlier this month, Snow White committed the royal charge of insulting her stepmother, the queen, and resisted arrest by running away. Immediate action was taken by sending out a search force and denouncing her title as princess. She has now been found under the care of seven dwarves.
CUT TO FILE TAPE OF SERGEANT WATSON
Sergeant: The dwarves refuse to release her into police custody. They are holding her and haven’t as yet declared a ransom.
CUT BACK TO NEWSROOM
Newscaster 2: When the queen was asked to make a statement, she simply said, “The next time Show White comes out of the cottage, she may as well be dead.” Analysts are currently working on this cryptic statement. But that’s not what her fiancé thinks.
CUT TO FILE TAPE OF PRINCE HENRY
Prince Henry: I don’t think Snow White committed a criminal act of any kind. All girls fight with their mothers and need time away from them.
CUT BACK TO NEWSROOM
Newscaster 2: And when asked of what he thought of her staying with seven males:
CUT BACK TO PRINCE HENRY
Prince Henry: Snow White isn’t a slut. Besides, she likes tall men.
PAUSE
Newscaster 1: Hello, it’s August 23 and this is your morning news. For nearly an entire month the nation watched on horrified, as the royal drama unfolded. But it all ended this morning when the dwarves released this statement:
CUT TO FILE TAPE OF DWARVES
Dwarf: Snow white is dead. We will avenge her death on the murderous villain.
CUT BACK TO NEWSROOM
Newscaster 2: We now go to exclusive interviews with the involved.
CUT BETWEEN FILE TAPES
Queen: I have no doubt that it was the dwarves her murdered her, just for spite, and then publicized that blasphemous statement.
Prince Henry: (sobs)
Dwarf: Of course we know who killed her! And we will have her BLOOD!
Queen: I wasn’t *planning* on giving her the death penalty when we got her back. But, I suppose, it’s none the worse.
Prince Henry: (sobbing) she was so beautiful…
Dwarf: Vengeance!
Prince Henry: ...such a nice person…
Queen: We all feel sorrow about this tragic incident.
Prince Henry: …she liked birds…
Dwarf: She told us her whole story! All about the queen and her mirror!
Queen: But she was, after all, a traitor.
Prince Henry: …and apples…
Dwarf: Oh, she was a devil, that queen! Why do think we all moved to the forest! Why do you think Snow White ran away?
Queen: Traitor!
Dwarf: She has a secret lair under the dungeon, that’s what Snow White told us. Where she brews all sorts of evil…
Prince Henry: Apples!
PAUSE
Newscaster 2: Good morning, it’s August 27, and this is your morning news. The story of Snow White has finally resolved, but with a rather enigmatic ending.
Newscaster 1: That’s right. The seven dwarves who were withholding Snow White have been arrested for treason and murder, and they won’t tell any authorities where they’ve hidden the body of Snow White.
Newscaster 2: Furthermore, Snow White’s former fiancé, Prince Henry, has disappeared from the kingdom. There have been unconfirmed rumors that he either returned to his own kingdom, went out in search of a new kingdom, or committed suicide over his fiancé’s death.
Newscaster 1: What are you doing? We’re supposed to be telling facts, not rumors!
Newscaster 2: Hey, I’m just trying to inform the watcher.
START FADING
Newscaster 1: Yeah, inform them with lies!
Newscaster 2: Well you’re always stealing my spotlight!
Newscaster 1: Obviously because you don’t know how to read news!
