Cinderella

Once upon a time, there was a young girl called Cinderella. She lived in a big house,with her horrid stepmother and her two nasty stepsister. They hated her because she was so pretty and because she was always kind and good-tempered.


The horrid stepmother and nasty stepsister made Cinderella do all the work in the house.She cleaned and Cooked from morning until bedtime.


They made her sit in the kitchen, gave her only scraps of food to eat and old clothes to wear.Her bedroom was in a cold,creepy attic.


One day, Cinderella and the two stepsister received invitations to go to a grand ball a t the palace. The stepsister screamed with excitement.We must look our best for the prince, one said.We'll need expensive new dresses  and new shoes, and new bag and gloves, said the other.


When the day came, they spent hours getting dressed and doing their hair.At last, when they were ready, Cinderella said, please may I come? NO. Of course you can't. stay in the kitchen, screamed the stepsister, and off they went, slamming the door behind them.




Cinderella sat in the kitchen and cried. then she heard someone say, what the matter, my dear?
she looked up and there was her fairy godmother.I did  want to go to the ball, said Cinderella.Do just as I tell you, said her fairy godmother,smiling,and you shall go.


Now , she said, bring me a big pumpkin from the garden, the cage with six white mice in it, the cage with a brown rat in it and six green lizards from behind the water tub. Cinderella was very puzzled but she ran to fetch everything as quickly as she could.


when she brought them in, her fairy godmother tapped each one with her magic wand. And ,as Cinderella wretched, the big pumpkin turned in to a wonderful coach, the six white mice in to six white horses, the brown
rat into a coachman, and the six lizards in to six smart footman.


Then the godmother tapped Cinderella's old clothes and shoes with her wand. In a twinkle, they turned in to a lovely dress and shining glass slippers. Go to the Ball, she said, but remember, you must leave before the clock strikes midnight. Oh thank you, thank you, cried Cinderella.




Cinderella drove off in her coach and when she reached the palace, the prince came out to meet her.Everyone
 thought she was princess and even her nasty stepsister did not recognize her. there was a grand supper with lots of delicious thing to eat and drink, and musicians played all evening.


The prince danced every dance with Cinderella and she was so happy, she forgot about the time. Suddenly she heard the clock striking midnight. I must go, she cried and ran as fast as she could out of the ballroom and down the stair, losing one of her glass slippers on the way.


As she ran out of the palace, the coach turned into pumpkin and her dress into her old clothes.


She ran all the way home in the dark and was sitting in the kitchen when her stepsister came back. They told her about the wonderful ball and the strange princess who had suddenly run away.


The next day, the prince was very unhappy. He wanted to find the prince but he did not even know her name. All he had was her slipper. I will search my kingdom for her, he said. Every girl must try on the slipper, and when i find the one whose foot fits it, she shall be my bride.


For days, he went from house to house. lots of girl tried on the slipper but it was too small for them. At last, he came to Cinderella's house. The stepsister tried to put it on. They pushed and they pulled, they cried and they screamed, but their feet were too big.


Cinderella watched them. May I try? she said No, you can't shouted the stepsister, angrily. Let her try said the prince, kindly. Of course, the slipper fitted perfect. At that moment, the fairy godmother appeared and Cinderella old clothes turned into a lovely dress.


I have found you at last, said the prince. 
Please will you marry me? 
Oh yes, said Cinderella, happily.
Oh on, shouted the stepsister, very angrily. soon the prince and Cinderella were married.
they lived in the palace and were happy ever after.......


I hope you like it
