[Where have you been, where are you going? wait a while and tell me please before you leave... So at least I have some stuff to wonder, where you may be eating for dinner, what you may eat for breakfast... You are so cruel to steal yourself away from me. There is only darkness that awaits me, darkness everyday. Will you leave everyday?]
One day Snow White was ugly. It is a bit difficult to imagine, when all the stories say that she's quite the beautiful thing to look at. What happened on the day she turned ugly was that Snow White felt too free, so free was she, that she decided to go to laugh at a fish.
"Ha! Ha!" Laughed Snow White, as heartily as she could as she pointed at a fish swimming about in a lake, "Ha! You fish! Ha! Ha!"
This fish did not turn out to be a wizard or elf, or a prince, who was feeling too free such that he disguised himself as a fish; instead, this fish was just another fish, who happened to be very vain about its appearances, and happened to understand human's language, as some fish do. Upon hearing the unprovoked Snow White laughing at itself, its insecurities about being a fish drove it to commit suicide by diving on the river bank.
Snow White, upon witnessing this crazy fish, while still feeling too free, decided to take it home to eat.
"Sashimi!" She thought excitedly, and went to buy wasabi from the japanese guy who grew wasabi and taught people how to eat sashimi and generally profitted quite well from that... but anyway, Snow White got her wasabi and fish and went home to prepare the fish.
Briefly she wondered if the fish was poisonous, for it is always strange for fish to kill itself. Perhaps Snow White was feeling guilty about laughing at the fish for no apparent reason, but the guilt did not last anyway, as she soon raise her sumitomo sushi stainless steel knife to slice the over-sensitive fish.
Alas! Snow White had slippery hands, and the fish slipped, and the knife also slipped, and fell, and in the mad panic, the knife sliced off Snow White's nose, and half a cheek, and the fish was chopped into three uneven pieces.
From that day onwards, Snow White was ugly and lived as happily as she could be being ugly ever after. The fish was eventually thrown away.
