"THERE once was a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called Snow-white and the other Rose-red. They were as good and happy, as busy and cheerful, as ever two children in the world were, only Snow-white was more quiet and gentle than Rose-red. Rose-red liked better to run about in the meadows and fields seeking flowers and catching butterflies; but Snow-white sat at home with her mother, and helped her with her house-work, or read to her when there was nothing to do.
The two children were so fond of each other that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when Snow-white said, 'We will not leave each other,' Rose-red answered, 'Never so long as we live.'"
The two children were so fond of each other that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when Snow-white said, 'We will not leave each other,' Rose-red answered, 'Never so long as we live.'"
~ Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Snow White and Rose Red are two college girls who have a propensity for using large words, bursting out into song with the slightest provocation, and frolicking. Like any good fairytale maidens, they are prolific wish-makers; Snow White favors eyelashes, while Rose Red prefers the evening star. Despite tragic evidence to the contrary, they both still believe in fairy tales.
