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, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome
dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister 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” said the godmother,”you’ve been
such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that 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 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 slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son 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 king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.
