"A Tale of the Two Snow Whites"
Part 3
But how did this Snow White come into the picture, eh. Maybe it was a game Jakob played on Wilhelm. But I digress.
Actually it happened when this S.W. was a newborn. Their mother also gave birth to another young girl which we will meet later. Anyway, their parents were one day accused of witchcraft, which in those days was a very serious offence against God (or at least that was what the Church of the time wanted us to believe). The siblings moved into a secluded cottage at the very edge of the Kingdom (it doesn't matter who's the king in this plot) with their grandmother named Joanna. Now Joanna was a very nice old crone in the fashion of the Old Priests; a wise woman expertise in herbal medicines. Under this new household, much happiness was ensured, but not for long.
One time, three heavily armed men came into the house.
"IN THE NAME OF THE QUEEN AGATHA CORLEONE, OPEN THE DOOR NOW!"
This startled the siblings and Joanna.
However the guards kept on pressing.
"YOU ARE BEING HELD FOR PRACTICING WITCHCRAFT! OLD WOMAN, DON'T MAKE US BREAK THROUGH!"
"Shit!" Joanna gestured as her grandchildren began paniking.
"Okay girls, the time has come for you my dear grandchildren to run away; for the accursed God's men have been sent for my blood. Remember what I told you about coming back here?"
They did. And this is how they remembered:
"If you should run into any kind of trouble, never lead it back here. If any trouble comes into this nook, by all means run from it!"
So they ran. They ran and ran and ran.
Eventually, Snow White fell down from exhaustion. Her sister had left her, as she thought. She looked around, and saw another cottage, but somehow smaller and dirtier.
