小白是白蛇bái shé (white snake)，有一天，小白喜欢了一个人，他的名字是许仙xǔ xiān，许仙在一个药店工作。许仙是一个很好很好的人， 她想许仙做她的男朋友。有一天下大雨，天气很冷，许仙回家的时候，看到了一个漂亮的女人，他问许仙能不能去他家喝一杯热茶，因为小白很漂亮，许仙喜欢小白，所以他说没问题。 小白去了许仙的家，他们一起喝茶吃饭，他们都很高兴。三个月后，许仙做了小白的男朋友，他们住在一起了。有一个人不喜欢小白，他叫法海，听说小白找了一个男朋友，法海很不高兴，因为他觉得蛇不能喜欢人。他去了许仙家，他告诉小白：小白不是人，许先生，你不能和她住在一起。 许仙说：我很喜欢小白，我要和小白一起住。 法海很不高兴。有一天，许仙给小白一杯酒，小白喝酒后想睡觉。许仙说：“你去睡觉吧。我要去工作了。” 小白去了房间睡觉。许仙工作后回家，他看见房间里有一条白蛇，许仙知道小白是一条白蛇，他很害怕 hài pà (afraid)，他病了。小白看见许仙病了，她去了天上的医院，拿了药回来给许仙吃。许仙吃了药，病就好了。虽然小白是蛇，但是小白是很好的蛇，许仙还很爱小白。一年后，小白和许仙有了一个孩子。法海听说了这件事，他很生气，因为人不能和蛇一起住，人也不能和蛇生孩子。他去了许仙家，带许仙去了他家。小白回家后找不到许仙，她知道法海带走了许仙。小白去了法海家找许仙，但是法海不让她见许仙，也不让她带许仙回家。小白有魔法 mó fǎ( magic ), 她让水进去法海的家，法海也有魔法 mó fǎ (magic), 他做了一个很高的墙 qiáng (wall), 不让水进去他家。小白的水没有进去法海的家，但是进去了法海家旁边的房子，这些房子里面有人。天上的人看见了，下来帮助法海，小白因为做错事，天上人不高兴，让她住在法海家的地下。法海让许仙去很远很远的地方，但是许仙很爱小白，所以他和儿子住在法海家的旁边。
