Cinderella
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters. The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother 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 step sisters, on the other hand, didn’t work about the house. Their mother gave them many beautiful dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sisters 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 couldn’t help
crying after they had left.
“Why are you 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,” said the godmother, “You’ve been such a
cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl, and I am going to see that you do go
to the ball.”
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,” she said, “You must
leave before midnight.” Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the Prince. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran
toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper
was left behind.
A few days later, the Prince proclaimed that he would marry the
girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper
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 Prince was overjoyed to see her again. And he ask to
Cinderella, “Would you marry me, Cinderella?” “Sure I will, you are my soul I
wait.” Cinderella said. Then they were married and live happily ever after.
