A Tale with A Twist :
The Queen possessed a wonderful mirror which could answer her when she stood before it and said :
“Mirror, mirror upon the wall; Who is the fairest of all?”
The mirror answered -
“Thou, O Queen, art the fairest of all.”
And the Queen was contented, because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth.
As time passed on, Little Snow White grew more and more beautiful, until when she was seven years old, she was as lovely as the bright day, so that one day when the Queen asked her mirror -
“Mirror, mirror upon the wall; Who is the fairest of all?”
The mirror answered -
“Thou, O Queen, art the fairest of all.”
The Queen was amazed. She said –
“Shouldn’t have you named Snow White this time for she was the fairest according to the tale?”
The mirror, which could speak nothing but the truth, answered –
“O Lady Queen, You Are what You Think. If you think you are the fairest of all, You ARE the fairest of all.”
