Here is a like to the story of Snow White in Urdu and i short summery of my understanding from the video.
The Summery:
At the beginning of the story, a queen sits sewing at an open window during a winter snowfall. The queen wishes to have a very beautiful daughter. the Queen gives birth to a baby girl who is very pretty. They name her 'Snow White', but sadly, the Queen dies after giving birth to her.
After a year has passed, the King takes a new wife, who is beautiful but also unutterably wicked and vain. The new queen possesses a magic mirror which she asks every morning: "Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?". The mirror always replies: "My queen, you are the fairest in the land." The Queen is always pleased with that because the magic mirror never lies. But, when Snow White reaches the age of seven, she becomes as beautiful by the day and even more beautiful than the Queen and when the Queen asks her mirror, it responds: "My queen, you are the fairest here so true. But Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you.
This gives the queen a great shock. Her heart turns against Snow White and hates Snow White more and more each day. Envy and pride, like ill weeds, grow in her heart taller every day, until she has no peace day or night. Eventually, the Queen orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the deepest woods to be killed. The huntsman takes Snow White into the forest. After raising his knife, he finds himself unable to kill her as she sobs heavily and begs him: "Oh, dear huntsman, don't kill me! Leave me with my life, I will run into the forest and never come back!". The huntsman leaves her behind alive, convinced that the girl would be eaten by some wild animal. He instead brings the Queen the lungs and liver of a bird. The snow white survives and get married with the a prince who finds her in the forest.
