CINDERELLA

CINDERELLA

BY NUR AISYATUL

HUMAIRAA

Once upon a time there was a kind and

beautiful girl called Cinderella.

She lived with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters

where she was treated as a servant and made her

do a lot of hard work.

One day, big news came to town. It was time for the

Prince to find a bride. All of the young ladies in the


land were invited to come to the prince's ball.

Sadly, the wicked stepmother didn't allow

Cinderella to go.

The day of the ball arrived and they all went to a ball in the

palace, leaving Cinderella behind. Cinderella was feeling sad.


She said aloud, "I wish I could go to the ball, too!"

Then - Poof! A lovely fairy with a gold wand in her hand

appeared in front of Cinderella. "I am your fairy

godmother and you shall go to the ball!" she said.

The fairy godmother asked Cinderella to find her a

pumpkin, six lizards, six mice and a rat.

She touched them with her magic wand and the

pumpkin turned into a magnificent coach...

the lizards into six footmen...

the mice into six magnificent horses...

and the rat into a coachman.

With a flick of the magic, she turned Cinderella into

a beautiful princess with the prettiest glass

slippers.

"Remember, the magic only last until midnight. You

must reach home by then," said the fairy

godmother.

Cinderella arrived at the ball. Everyone was struck by her

beauty and her stepmother and stepsisters did not know who


she was. The prince asked Cinderella to dance and she was

overjoyed.

Cinderella was enjoying herself so much until she

noticed the clock approaching midnight and she


remembered her godmother's words.

Cinderella ran out of the palace. As she ran down

the steps of the palace, one of her glass slippers


fell off, but Cinderella kept running up.

The prince ran after her but he was too late! He found her

glass slipper on the steps. He picked up the glass slipper


and declared "I will marry the girl whose foot fits this

slipper."

The next morning, the prince took the glass slipper to

every house, but it did not fit any of the women who tried


it on. At last, the prince came to Cinderella's house.

The first ugly sister tried to place her foot in the

glass slipper. She tried hard, but it just would not fit


because her foot was too wide.

The second ugly sister tried to fit her foot inside.

She tried and tried with all her might, too. But no


dice because her foot was too long.

"Please may I try on the glass slipper?" asked

Cinderella. The glass slipper fit Cinderella's foot


perfectly!

The Prince had found the girl he was looking for.

They were married and both lived happily ever


after.
