This is a classic fairy tale. My favorite. Totally rewritten..
A long time ago there was a girl and a boy. Usually this tale begins with an introduction concerning how the devil creates a mirror which distorts everything. The mirror breaks into a million shards and disperses throughout the world, it gets stuck in peoples eyes making them see everything distorted. And the shards get stuck in their hearts, causing their hearts to turn to ice.
OUR story begins with the girl and the boy, though. While this was all happening with the mirror, the boy and the girl were friends. They knew they were destined to be friends forever. More than friends, of course. They knew they were soul mates. They treasured every moment they had, and pretended it didn't matter. The boy wanted to marry the girl, and the girl didn't even know. The girl loved the boy deeply. She didn't even hope that he would love her back, but when she found out he did, her whole world came alive. They told each other about their love. Everything was perfect. The vowed to love each other forever. Everything was the way it should be.
There was never any reason to worry about anything with the boy and girl. They loved each other. They were happy. But then the world got difficult. The boy and girl saw cruelty, sadness, despair and utter failure. They had each other though, and that should have been all that mattered.
However, a piece of mirrored glass got stuck in the girls heart and I will tell you about how it happened. She didn't have the strength to reach in and pull it out. She was weaker than the boy knew. She was weaker than she wanted to be and she was scared and ashamed.
Well, that piece of glass started to change her heart until she didn't know herself anymore. And this delighted the Snow Queen. (to be continued http://ramblessilently.blogspot.com/2011/12/rewritten-tale-in-its-entirety.html)
