Cinderella
Once
upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her
stepmother and two stepsisters. The stepmother and sisters were conceited and
bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her stepmother made
Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor,
cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two
stepsisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave
them many handsome dresses to wear.
One
day, the two stepsisters received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son
was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much
time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came,
and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they
had left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?”
a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “Because
I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well, you’ve been
such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that
you do go to the ball” said the godmother
Magically,
the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a
coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with
her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of
pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella, you must leave before midnight”
she said. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella
was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s
son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as
quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass shoes was left behind.
A
few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose
feet fitted the glass slipper. Her stepsisters tried on the shoes, 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 on the slipper. She stuck out her foot
and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally,
she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again.
They were married and live happily ever after.
