Snow White and Dopey
By Maggie Ma
In the morning, I merrily open my big eyes and reflect on my sweet dream of kissing Snow White on her lips. It was really a good sleepthough lying on the hard chair downstairsinstead of the comfortable bed. I amexcited to see the warm sunlight go through the window of the cottage, and birds enjoy singing on the big oak tree.
“My sleeves are too long to look neat and good, and Snow White will not like that,” I thought.“No, no, no, it is great, my clumsy appearance can always make her happy,” another voice in my heart said. Let me see how to kiss her like that in the dream. It is really a good chance to kiss goodbye to the kindhearted and enthusiastic Snow White when I leave for work. While approaching her, my heart beat quicker. I try to pull my clothes neat unconsciously, though it causesthe opposite effect, close my eyes, and purse my lips, thinking that my soft hairless face will be an advantage. Unexpectedly, she gently takes off my hat, and heavily kisses on my bald head. I immediately felt strong warmth surging through my body. Like a little rabbit, I dash to the side door of our cottage, run by Grumpy, and purse my lips again in front of Snow White. I hear her giggle and again she kisses me on my bald head. The great happiness and the wish to be kissed on lips drive me to run back through the side door a second time and totally ignore Grumpy. I think Grumpy dislikes Snow White, and he will be fine. Pursing up my lips for the third time, Snow White gently kisses me for the third time, which gave me a feeling of flying to the sky. Without seeing the tree in front me, I heavily hit against a tree and become black and blue.
“Stupid Dopey! What a shameless fellow! You paid for your foolish behavior,” shouted Grumpy with one eye shut, rearing his head high and mumbling repeatedly.“Dangerous beauty, dangerous beauty.”
“Nonsense, I don’t ache at all, and Snow White must like me most because she kissed me three times,” I thought proudly. With such a bright mood, I dance forward on the road to the mine, and give big smiles to the hare, deer, and squirrel in the forest. I lagged behind the other dwarfs. When I arrive at the workplace, although far away from my fellows, I can hear they are discussing about me loudly and angrily. Doc said. “How could Dopey do that? Snow White belongs to all of us. It is not fair to give that slob more love. Let’s not speak to him today as the punishment,”suggested Doc. “I agree,” said Happy and Bashful, and then others follow suit. Seeing me walk towards them, Sneezy sneezes at me with his powerful sneeze and blows me out of the workroom.
“Grumpy must have told them I was kissed more than them! What a disgusting Grumpy!”I thought. Later, I silently slip into the room and strive to dig a big diamond for my dear Snow White despite the other dwarfs’ anger and ignorance.
In the afternoon, with a huge shining red diamond in my pocket, I came back home. However, great depression conquers me when seeing my dear Snow White sleeping in the glass coffin for she ate the poisonous apple made by her stepmother. One day a handsome prince gives her a kiss of true love. Snow White wakes up, and I become ecstatic. Afterwards, she kisses me on my lips, not my bald head, says farewell to me, and I give the diamond to her as her marriage gift. To my satisfaction, my dream comes true though a little disappointed at the bottom of my heart.
