The shepherd was not able to kill her out of deep sympathy and fondness for the princess. He let her go and demanded her to run as far away as possible.
The princess ran and ran and reached a small little cottage that was inhabited by 7 dwarfs. They made great friends and began to forge a great relationship, even with one member of the dwarf who initially was not agreeable to the stay of the princess.
The next day after much partying and celebration, the dwarfs set off their routine daily diamond-harvesting, leaving the princess all by herself, accompanied by her friendly and cute animals.
Whence the princess was cooking apple pie for the dwarfs, the queen in the guise of an old decrepit lady with basket of apple offered the princess the apple.
What was initially a reluctance of the princess to be tempted by the old lady to take the apple turns out to the princess taking a bite out of the apple due to the old lady's pitching about the power of the apple which able to fullfill anybody's wish who takes a bite of it.
The princess was evidently fell to the ground and went unconscious. The queen was laughing with sinister glee. Upon walking out of the door she realized the dwarves are running home being alarmed by the princess's friendly animals. The queen still in the guise of the old lady, ran to the other side which turns out to be a dead end of a hill cliff. It was also begin to rain heavily, occasional accompanied by thunderstorm.
At the end of the hill cliff there's a huge rock, lying precariously, which the queen used with a stick to tilt it towards the dwarves who are running furiously up the hill to catch the queen.
Luck has it, whilst the queen was tilting the rock with a stick as a fulcrum, lightning strikes at the weak side of the cliff, making the land where the queen stood crumble and fell together with the queen. With the fall of the chunk of land, the rock which was being tilted to fall to the slope side of the hill, intentioned to hit the dwarves instead took the opposite side and fell after the queen.
The expression of the vultures at the fall of the queen and the rock made it sound like the rock landed on the queen.
The dwarves was so devastated with the demise of the princess that they did not have a heart to bury her, but instead build a glass coffin to be displayed.
One day the prince whom saw the princess on the day before the princess was forced to run away from home due to the death threat by the queen, and fell in love and serenaded the princess with songs of love, which was of course requited with a kiss via a proxy pigeon.
In order to break the spell of the apple, the princess must be kissed by her first and one true love. The prince saw the lying and calm princess in the glass coffin and went up to her and planted a kiss.
After the kiss, the princess was awake, like waking up from her slumber. Everybody cheered and celebrated. The prince took the princess on his white mare. The princess kissed all the dwarves goodbye and the story ends as "and they lived happily ever after".
