The witch stood facing the mirror and said " Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the man I love the most? Do you think this would make an interesting story? Jam.

Andrew is right. This would not make a good story unless you are a better writer than those who wrote "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfts."

If you use the Google search engine to search for "Mirror, mirrow, on the wall," you will find a number of people who have made tries at using this techique. Beware though if you are a beginner, otherwise, you will put yourself in the land of the mundane.

If you simply wanted to retell the Snow White story, that would be one thing. To see how someone else has done that go to http://teenwriting.about.com/library/submissions/challenges/retoldtales/blretoldtales.htm. If you want to use the play on the title to tell a completely different stroy, as you proposed to the forum, then you are likely to confuse your reader unless you make a very quick transition in your introduction.

You may want to read a few of the article that Google offers you.
