Cinderella
Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. her stepmother did'nt like her one little bit. all her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. nothing was too good for them dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort, but fot he poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. no dresses, only her stepsister hand me downs. no lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. no rest and no comfort. she had to work all day. only when evening came she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. that's why everybody called her cinderella.
Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. the cat said, "miaowww", which really meant, "cheer up! you have something neither of your stepsister has and that is beauty. " it was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was lovely girl. while her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. a ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisiters were gettung ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask if she could go too. she knew very well what the answer would be "you ? you're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. "they will come home tired and very sleepy. Cinderella sighed, "oh dear, i'm so unhappy!"
Suddenl;y something amzing happened. as Cinderella was sitiing alone, there was a burst of light nd a fairy appeared. "don't be alarmed, Cinderella : said the fairy, "i know you would love to go to the ball and so you shall!", "how can i dressed in rags ?" cinderella relpied, "the servant will turn me away!"
The fairy smiled. with a flick of her magic wand cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. "now for your coach", said the fairy, "a real lady would never go to a ball on foot! quick! get me a pumpkin!", "oh of course", said cinderella, rushing away. then the fairy turned to the cat. "you bring me seven mice and remember they must be alive!".
Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. with a flick of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white hoses while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.
"you shall go to ball cinderella. but remember! you must leave at midnight. that is when my spell ends. your coach will turn bck into a pumpkin and the horses will became mice again. you will be dresses in rags and wearing clogs of these glass slippers! do you understand ?" cinderella smiled and said, "yes i understand".
Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she heard the first stroke if midninght she rememberes what the fairy said , nd without a word of goodbye she slipped from the prince's arms and ran down the steps. as she run she lost one her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up if the last stroke of midnight were to sound...oh... what a disaster that would be out she fled and vanished into the night.
The prince who was now madly in love with her picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, "go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits, i will never be content until i find her", so the ministers tried the slippers on the foot of every girl in the land until only cinderella was left.
"that awful untidy girl simply can't have been at the ball", snapped the stepmother. "tell the prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters can't you see how ugly cinerella is ?.
But to everyone's amazement the shoe fitted perfecty, suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. in a flash cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth nd beauty. her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement and the ministers said, " come with us Cinderella the prince is waiting for you".
So Cinderella married the prince and lived happily ever.
