Snowhite and the Seven Bullies 

 

 

Once Upon A Time, in the country of Russia, there lived a young girl named Snowhite.  Snowhite and her family lived in Siberia, a territory in Russia that was all too often cold and frigid out.  Like most kids in Siberia, Snowhite grew up without a lot of sun, and remained quite pasty.

One blistery cold night, Snowhite, her parents, and her little sister all sat down for dinner.  “I am so sick and tired of this cold weather.  I can’t leave the house unless I’m wearing five layers of clothes, and I’m still freezing my bottom off,” exclaimed Snowhite’s father.

“I hate living in this icebox.  I don’t want to live next to the Arctic Ocean where it is always freezing.  If only we could live over in the states.  California? Hawaii? Somewhere, anywhere near the Pacific Ocean where it is nice and warm out,” screeched Snowhite’s mom.

“That’s it sugar dumpling! That’s exactly what we will do.  Kids, pack your bags, we’re moving to the islands,” Snowhite’s dad shouted. 

And so they did.  That next day, Snowhite and her family packed their bags and belongings, and took the next plane out of Russia.

Soon enough, Snowhite’s family landed in Honolulu, Hawaii.  As they exited the plane, they were greeted with Hawaiians in grass skirts, and were given leas (beautiful necklaces of flowers) to wear. 

It wasn’t too long, before they found a beautiful house to move into.  As the family walked along the beach, and passed by all of the Hawaiian natives, they noticed quite a few pairs of eyes set on them.

“Why is everyone staring at us?” asked Snowhite’s little sister. 

“Don’t you see?  We are different.  We don’t belong here.  Everyone here has a beautiful, golden tan, and we are pale.  We are blinding them with our pasty white skin.  I hate it here already. I want to go back home,” cried Snowhite.   

Embarrassed by the color of her skin, Snowhite ran back to the house, and didn’t leave until that next Monday, when she was forced by her parents to go to her first day of school at Coconut Middle. 

                                             

So, that morning, Snowhite walked into her seventh grade homeroom, where she was greeted by her teacher, Mrs. Waikiki. “Attention class,” announced Mrs. Waikiki.  “We have a new student, her name is Snowhite, and she comes all the way from Siberia in Russia”.  The class began to snicker.  “Now, I want everyone to make Snowhite feel right at home.” 

“Ha-ha Snowhite? More like Albino,” whispered Kala.  Kala, and her six friends, Linohau, Kuli, Linekekei, Kali, Anakalia, and Akalei all began to laugh.  Snowhite turned bright red, and ran out of the room.

“That’s enough class.  One more comment like that, and you will be sent to the principal’s office.”  A young boy named Keoni raised his hand.  “Yes Keoni?”

“Mrs. Waikiki, can I go make sure Snowhite is ok?” Mrs. Waikiki nodded, and Keoni got up and left the room. 

Keoni found Snowhite sitting on the playground, wiping the tears from her eyes.  “Don’t listen to those seven girls; they are just a bunch of bullies,” said Keoni.  

Snowhite wiped her face and looked up to find Keoni holding out his hand.  Snowhite grabbed his hand and asked, “Who are you? What is your name?”

“I’m your new friend, Keoni.  Come on, let’s go back to class, Mrs. Waikiki is waiting on us.  She is doing a geography lesson on where you are from, and we need your help.”  Snowhite rushed back to class with her new friend, feeling a lot better.

That night at dinner, everyone was sharing with each other what their day consisted of.  “How was your day Snowhite?” said her mother.

Trying to hide the grin on her face, “Well I made a new friend named Keoni.  Mrs. Waikiki, my geography teacher talked about Russia too.  A lot of the students asked me questions about what it was like to live there and how it was different from here.”   

“So do you like Honolulu a little more?”  Snowhite’s father asked curiously.   

“It is ok I guess.  There are these seven bullies at school that won’t stop picking on me because I have such light skin,” Snowhite said as tears began to form in her bright blue eyes.   

“Don’t listen to those girls.  You are beautiful just the way you are. We’re from another culture, and nothing is wrong with that.  Give it a few more days, and you will fit right in at Coconut Middle School.”

And so she did.  After a week of being at Coconut Middle, Keoni had introduced Snowhite to so many kids; she had a hard time remembering all of their names.  

One day on the beach, Keoni was teaching Snowhite how to surf when Kala and the other bullies walked up with their surfboards.  “Is this supposed to be a joke? Do you really expect a girl from Russia to be able to surf?” asked Kala.  Kala and the other bullies giggled to themselves and walked away. 

“Don’t listen to them Snowhite, they are just jealous,” Keoni said.

“You know what, I’m going to enter in the next surfing competition, and I’m going to show those girls what it takes to be a real surfer,” demanded Snowhite. 

And so she did.  Every day, Snowhite and Keoni were out in the ocean surfing from sun up to sun down.  Keoni was impressed by how fast Snowhite was picking up surfing, and he soon believed that Snowhite did have a shot at winning the surfing contest that was quickly approaching.

The day of the surfing competition soon arrived.  Everyone had gathered on the beach for the big event.  Snowhite’s family and classmates all came to see Snowhite for her big debut. Snowhite was sitting on the beach watching the seven bullies, and the other surfers practice when Keoni walked up with a surfboard in his arms.  “What’s that Keoni?” inquired Snowhite. 

“This was my very first surfboard, The Big Kahuna, and I would like you to have it,” Keoni said proudly.  Snowhite jumped up off the sand and gave Keoni said a hug and a big wet one on his cheek.  Keoni blushed, and a giddy grin formed on his face.  “Oh gosh Snowhite, you didn’t have to do that, now get on out there and show me what you’ve got” demanded Keoni.

Snowhite, who was more determined than ever, began to paddle out into the ocean with the rest of the surfers. As Snowhite was waiting for a big wave to come, Kala paddled past Snowhjite with the six other bullies, and said “Hey Snowhite, try not to choke on too much seaweed when the wave swallows you.”  Snowhite ignored the girls laughter and prepared herself for the big wave she was about to face.

It was finally Snowhite’s turn, and she saw the perfect wave approaching. As the wave approached, Snowhite began to paddle harder and faster.  Right when the wave was beginning to curl, Snowhite stood up on her board.  The crowd went wild as Snowhite surfed right through the wave from one end to the other, without falling.  “Yes, I did it!” shouted Snowhite as she threw her arms up in the air.  As she walked up on the beach, Snowhite was greeted with the first place trophy and Keoni who gave her a big hug and kiss.  “Wow, thank you so much Keoni, you really are my prince charming!” Snowhite said happily.

From that day forward, Snowhite and Keoni became best friends.  There was never a time that you didn’t see the two of them surfing together.  Snowhite formed a nice, golden tan from surfing so much, and the seven bullies from Coconut Elementary never picked on her again.  Today, if you take a trip out to Honolulu, Hawaii, you may just see Snowhite and Keoni out surfing the waves.
