"Exactly!  Some people only see beauty on the outside and not what is inside!" Dr. Sporrenburg said.  "What about you two?"

"Well," Lauren hesitated.  "I agree with the moral of the story, but that's not real life.  Usually when someone is that beautiful, everyone gets jealous."

"Hmmm, that's a good point.  But sometimes jealousy gets the best of people.  For instance, the Wicked Witch...

There was a king who’s wife passed away, leaving with him a beautiful daughter.   The king got married again, this time to an evil queen who thought herself to be the most fairest of all.  The new queen did not take well to someone,even her step-daughter, being more beautiful than her. 

The queen had a magic mirror and each day she would go to it and ask, ‘mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?’ In response the mirror would tell the queen that it was she who was the fairest of the land.

But as days passed by, the king's daughter grew more beautiful each day with skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony.  By the time the little girl, whose name was Snow White, turned seven, the mirror didn't have the satisfying response the queen was looking for.  So when the queen went to her mirror that day, and asked it the same question as she did every day, the queen filled with hate when the mirror told her that Snow White was the fairest in the land now.

The queen couldn't hold in her jealousy.  She sent for the huntsman and told him to bring little Snow White’s heart back to her.  The huntsman had no choice but to obey.  He took the girl out to the forest, but as he drew his knife, he didn’t have the nerve to kill her. 

He warned her of the queen’s hatred and told her to run as far away as she could and never come back.  That was the only thing that might spare her life.  Little Snow White ran, more scared than she had ever been in her life.  She didn’t stop until she thought she was far away enough from her evil stepmother. 

Back at the castle, the huntsman brought a heart of a pig to the queen and told her it was Snow White’s.  The queen smiled evilly and cooked the heart and ate it, never knowing it wasn't the heart of Snow White. 

Snow White was very tired from her long journey and wished for nothing more but to sleep.  It was with these thoughts that she came upon a small house.  She went in curiously and found seven small beds.  She called out to make sure no one was home, then lay down on each of the beds before going to sleep on the bed at the far end.

While Snow White was fast asleep, the owners came back.  Each was shocked to find that someone had tried out their beds.  They exclaimed their own thoughts one at a time, until one of the little men found a little girl in his bed.

They marveled at her beauty and were glad their voices had not woken her.  She looked very peaceful.  The next morning Snow White woke up to find seven little men staring at her curiously.  She told them of her story and they took pity on her and allowed her to stay with them. 

It was that same morning that the queen went to her looking glass and asked  who was fairest in the land now.  The mirror smirked and told the queen that Snow White was still the fairest in the land and that the huntsman had given her the heart of a pig instead. 

The queen was furious and decided that she would have to kill the girl herself.  She tried twice to kill Snow White with magical laces and magical combs that were bewitched to kill the person who used them.  But twice she failed, for the dwarfs had saved Snow White from those evil objects.  Upon her third attempt, she used a poisonous apple.  She was sure her plan would work, and it did:  Snow White ate the poisoned apple.

That night when the seven dwarfs came home from work, they found Snow White lying on the ground, dead.  They grieved and tried to wake her up like the times before, but nothing worked.  She was truly dead this time. 

They waited three days before giving her a funeral, just in case she wasn’t truly dead.   They couldn’t bring themselves to bury her as one would normally be buried, because she looked as if she were still living.  So they made up their minds that they would put her in a coffin of glass above the ground for all to remember her beauty. 

She lay there for days and never changed.  But one day a prince came along and saw the beautiful girl in the glass coffin.  He made up his mind that he would take her back with him.  He went to the dwarfs and asked for her and they took pity on him and let him have his wish.

As he rode off on his horse, his servants who were carrying the coffin stumbled and dropped the girl.  A piece of apple flew out of her mouth and she slowly woke up.  Snow White looked confused, but the prince told her how much he loved her and asked if she would be his wife.  She nodded happily and they went on their way to announce their wedding.

The wedding was spectacular.  The evil queen at first refused to go to the wedding, but she just had to see Snow White.  When she got there, she was ordered to wear metal slippers that had been heated over a fire and to dance until she died.  The queen had no choice and so she danced until her inevitable death."

"Everyone gets jealous of me, but I still don't get the handsome prince," Cordelia whined.

"That's because your full of yourself,"  Lauren stated bluntly.
