A queen sits sewing at an open window during a winter snowfall when
she pricks her finger with her needle, causing three drops of blood
dripping into the freshly fallen snow on the black windowsill.

Admiring the beauty of the resulting color combination, she says to
herself, "Oh how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as
snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony". Soon after
that, the Queen gives birth to a baby girl who is as white as snow, has
lips as red as blood, and with hair as black as ebony.
