We all know the story of the jealous queen who fed Snow White the poisoned apple. A tale of envy and deceit as old as time.

We know how she transformed into an old crone with a shiny red apple to entice her victim. We now she
did it because she wanted to be the most beautiful of them all.

Yet no one knew about the tale of the road she went where a gnarled tree was present. It grew by a poisonous creek where animals died drinking from it. Their corpses litter the creek, adding more poison and rot to the water.

Out of one of its branches a lone red apple hangs about. The queen reaches out and plucks it and stares at the maleficence it gives out.

"It is perfect" she says as she tucks it in the basket and proceed towards the house of the dwarves.
