SUMMARIZE THIS STORY:

CINDERELLA

Once upon a time, there was a kind girl named Cinderella. All of the animals loved her, especially two
mice named Gus and Jaq. They’d do anything for the girl they called Cinderelly. Cinderella lived with her
stepmother and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. They were very mean to Cinderella, making
her work all day cleaning, sewing, and cooking. She tried her best to make them happy. Cinderella’s
stepmother, Lady Tremaine, was cold, cruel, and jealous of Cinderella’s charm and beauty. She enjoyed
giving Cinderella extra chores to do, such as bathing her cat, Lucifer. One day, a messenger arrived with a
special invitation. There was going to be a royal ball at the palace! The King wanted his son to find a
bride. Every young woman in the kingdom was invited—including Cinderella! Cinderella was very excited
about the ball. In the attic, she found a dress that had belonged to her mother. It was a bit old-fashioned,
but Cinderella could make it beautiful! Lady Tremaine didn’t want Cinderella to go to the ball. She
wanted the Prince to meet Anastasia and Drizella.

Maybe he would marry one of them! Lady Tremaine kept Cinderella busy with chores that would take
her all night to finish. While Cinderella was working, the mice and birds fixed her dress. They added
ribbons and beads that the two stepsisters had thrown away. Working together, the animals turned a
simple dress into a fabulous gown! Cinderella was overjoyed when she saw the dress. Now she could go
to the ball!” Oh, thank you so much!” Cinderella said to Gus, Jaq, and the birds. When the stepsisters
saw their old ribbons and beads on Cinderella’s dress, they flew into a rage. They ripped the dress and
pulled off the beads. Lady Tremaine didn’t stop them. Cinderella’s dream of going to the ball was
through. Cinderella ran away to the garden to cry. Suddenly, her fairy godmother appeared. With a wave
of her wand, she turned a pumpkin into an elegant coach. Cinderella could now go to the ball, but her
dress was still ruined.”Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!” said the Fairy Godmother, waving her wand again.
Cinderella was now wearing a beautiful gown and sparkling glass slippers. But all of this came with a
warning: When the clock struck midnight, the magic spell would wear off! At the ball, Prince Charming
couldn’t take his eyes off Cinderella. The orchestra played, and the Prince began to dance with the
wonderful girl whose name he still didn’t know.

For Cinderella, the night was a dream come true. Before too long, the clock began to strike midnight.
“Good-bye!” Cinderella said, hurrying away. “Come back!” called the Prince. “I don’t even know your
name!” As Cinderella fled, one of her glass slippers came off. The Prince sent the Grand Duke to find the
girl who fit the glass slipper. Lady Tremaine locked Cinderella in the attic, but Cinderella’s mouse friends
freed her. Then Lady Tremaine tripped the Grand Duke, and the glass slipper shattered . . . but Cinderella
had the other in her pocket. And it fit! Cinderella and the Prince were soon married. Everyone rejoiced,
including Cinderella’s mouse friends, who wore special outfits to the wedding. Filled with joy, Prince
Charming and Cinderella lived happily ever after.
