CINDERELLA

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl named Cinderella. He lived with his
step mother and two sisters. They were arrogant and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very
badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest job in the house, such as scrubbing the
floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing food for the family. Her step sisters, on the other
hand, did not work on the house. Their mother gave them many pretty dresses to wear.

One day, a king invited all girls in his kingdom to attend a ball in his palace. They were
excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. Cinderella
could not stop crying after they left.

“Why are you crying, Cinderella?” the voice asked.

She looked up and saw a fairy standing beside her. Then Cinderella told her why she was
crying. Well the fairy said, “you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I
will see that you go to the ball.” The fairy turned a pumpkin into a coach and mice into a smooth
two coach man and footman then tapped Cinderella’s dress with her wand, and it became a
beautiful ball gown.

Then he gave her a pair of pretty glass shoes. Now, Cinderella, she said, “you have to
leave the ball before midnight”. Then he drove away a wonderful coach. Cinderella had a
marvelous time either. She danced again and again with the prince. Suddenly the clock began to
strike twelve, she ran toward the door as fast as he could do. In her hurry, one of her glass shoes
left behind.

A few days later, the prince declared that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the
glass shoe. Cinderella’s stepsisters tried on it but it was too small for them, no matter how hard
they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try the shoe. She
stretched his legs and slipped the shoe on the page. It fitted perfectly. Finally, she was ushered
into a magnificent palace and height. The prince were glad to see her again. They married and
lived happily ever after.
