Our Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

In our community we would call Snow White Nyamoita because she is beautiful and talented. The seven dwarfs would be named as: Mageto - He is talkative. Ochoki - He is always quiet. Monglare - He is always funny and entertaining. Masese - He likes dogs (e-sese) and other animals. Makori - He makes fun of people and likes laughing. Ong'ong'a - He is considerate. Nyanglau - He is kind and hardworking. Compiled by: LMN, ANO, ANT, DMO, PBO, SMM, JWM

Our group named Snow White as Njeri, which means, the most beautiful girl in Kikuyu Land. We named the seven dwarfs: Njogu - The strongest man. Kigondu - He is the most intelligent and fearful. Wang'ombe - Cattle herder Gakenia - A person who is always happy. Kuria - A person who likes crying. Gitonga - A rich person. Wainaina - One who likes singing. Compiled by: IEM, JNK, MW, SN, SS
