Cinderella
Once upon a time, there was a
beautiful girl named Cinderella. She lived with her wicked stepmother and two
stepsisters. They treated Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for
a grand ball in the king’s palace. But Cinderella’s stepmother would not let
her go. Cinderella was made to sew new party gowns for her stepmother and
stepsisters, and curl their hair. They then went to the ball, leaving
Cinderella alone at home.
Cinderella felt very sad and began
to cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared and said, “Don’t cry, Cinderella!
I will send you to the ball!” But Cinderella was sad. She said, “I don’t have a
gown to wear for the ball!” The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and
changed Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful new gown! The fairy godmother
then touched Cinderella’s feet with the magic wand. And lo! She had beautiful
glass slippers! “How will I go to the grand ball?” asked Cinderella. The fairy
godmother found six mice playing near a pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched
them with her magic wand and the mice became four shiny black horses and two
coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach. Cinderella was overjoyed
and set off for the ball in the coach drawn by the six black horses. Before
leaving. the fairy godmother said, “Cinderella, this magic will only last until
midnight! You must reach home by then!”
When Cinderella entered the
palace, everybody was struck by her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s
stepmother or stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and
shoes. The handsome prince also saw her and fell in love with Cinderella. He
went to her and asked, “Do you want to dance?” And Cinderella said, “Yes!” The
prince danced with her all night and nobody recognized the beautiful dancer.
Cinderella was so happy dancing with the prince that she almost forgot what the
fairy godmother had said. At the last moment, Cinderella remembered her fairy
godmother’s words and she rushed to go home. “Oh! I must go!” she cried and ran
out of the palace. One of her glass slippers came off but Cinderella did not
turn back for it. She reached home just as the clock struck twelve. Her coach
turned back into a pumpkin, the horses into mice and her fine ball gown into
rags. Her stepmother and stepsisters reached home shortly after that. They were
talking about the beautiful lady who had been dancing with the prince.
The prince had fallen in love with
Cinderella and wanted to find out who the beautiful girl was, but he did not
even know her name. He found the glass slipper that had come off Cinderella’s
foot as she ran home. The prince said, “I will find her. The lady whose foot
fits this slipper will be the one I marry!” The next day, the prince and his
servants took the glass slipper and went to all the houses in the kingdom. They
wanted to find the lady whose feet would fit in the slipper. All the women in
the kingdom tried the slipper but it would not fit any of them. Cinderella’s
stepsisters also tried on the little glass slipper. They tried to squeeze their
feet and push hard into the slipper, but the servant was afraid the slipper
would break. Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her try the slipper on, but
the prince saw her and said, “Let her also try on the slipper!” The slipper fit
her perfectly. The prince recognized her from the ball. He married Cinderella
and together they lived happily ever after.
