My favorite fairy tale is "Snow White". It is a very famous story all over the world.
The story is about a beautiful princess named Snow White. Her stepmother, the evil queen, was jealous of her beauty and tried to kill her. But Snow White was saved by seven dwarfs. Finally, a prince woke her up with a kiss and they lived happily ever after.
I like this story because it is full of magic and adventure. Snow White is so kind and beautiful, and the dwarfs are very cute and friendly. The evil queen is a good example of a bad person, which shows us that bad deeds will not go unpunished. Also, the story tells us that love and kindness always win in the end.
