Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella. She was kind and gentle and lived with her widowed father. Later, he married another woman, a widow who had two daughters. Soon after her father died, she lived with her stepmother. The stepmother did not like Cinderella. She made her work very hard every day. The names of Cinderella’s Step-sisters were Drizella and Anastasia.

 

The stepsisters never had to work. They just prance around the house in their fancy dresses and they always made fun of Cinderella because her dress was so plain. One day, a letter came to the house. Drizella and Anastasia cried the stepmother listened to this. She read the letter.

It said the king is having a ball tonight, his son, the prince will choose a wife. Every girl in the kingdom must be there. Then I can go to sit Cinderella, you cried the stepsisters and they laughed and laughed. But it says every girl in the kingdom must be there said Cinderella. The stepmother smiled and said, of course, you may go Cinderella. You may go if you do your work first and if you have a dress to wear.

Oh, thank you, said Cinderella and she ran up to a room. Some mice lived in Cinderella’s room, they were Cinderella’s friends. She had even made little clothes for them. Guess…… what she cried, I am going to a ball at the palace. Hooray…………. cried the mice then she showed them an old dress. It just needs a little mending said Cinderella and maybe a sash and some beads to make it pretty. Yes! Yes, Cinderella said to the mice.

Cinderella called the stepmother, Cinderella went downstairs. I want you to clean the floor and wash the windows and dust the drapes, said the stepmother but I did that yesterday said Cinderella. Do it again said the stepmother. Cinderella worked as fast as she could but there was always one more thing to do.

Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, oh dear! said Cinderella I will never have time to mend my dress. They make Cinderella work, work, work said a fat Mouse named Gus. She will have no time to fix her dress said a skinny mouse named Jack. We can do it, cried the mice. We can fix Cinderella’s dress, Gus and Jack sneaked into a big room. The stepsisters were dressing for the ball. I hate this old sash said Drizella and she threw it down. I never want to see these beads again said Anastasia and she dropped them on the floor.

Jack grabbed the sash, Gus picked up the beads. They took them to Cinderella’s room. Look! we found these said Gus now we can make Cinderella’s dress really pretty said by Jack. They measured, they cut, they folded, they sort, they worked and worked as fast as they could. The hours went by quickly. Cinderella had to help the stepsisters with their dresses when she was done the stepmother said. It’s time to go to the ball girls are you ready Cinderella. No said Cinderella! sadly I did not have any time to fix my dress.

Too bad, said the stepsisters, you must learn to work faster said the stepmother. They watched Cinderella go up to her room. When Cinderella opened the door, she saw something wonderful. Her dress was ready, surprise called the mice. It is the prettiest dress I have ever seen, said Cinderella and she put it on.

Cinderella ran down the stairs, wait she called. I can go now, I have a dress. The stepmother and the stepsisters could not believe their eyes. My sash cried Drizella, my beads cried by Anastasia. They ripped off the sash and pulled off the beads. Cinderella’s dress was ruined.

Come along with me said the stepmother!

The prince is waiting for you and off they went to the palace. Cinderella was left behind. Cinderella ran into the garden but mice ran after her. How I did wish to go to the ball said Cinderella but it is no use. Wishes never come true.

Never my dear! said a voice.

Cinderella looked up, there was a little woman with a wand. I am your fairy godmother she said. I am here to give you your wish. Now let me see said the fairy godmother. I need a pumpkin, a horse, and a dog. what luck!

They are right here and ah yes! I will need some mice. When the mice heard this, they began to run but the fairy godmother stopped them with her wand. Now for the magic words, she said.

Bippity-Boppity-Boo!

She waved her wand, the pumpkin turned into a coach. The horse turned into a coachman. The dog turned into a footman and the mice turned into white horses. Now hop in my dear said the fairy godmother but my dress said Cinderella.

Oh no!

Cried the fairy godmother, I almost forgot she waved her wand again. Cinderella looked down her dress turned into a white gown her shoes turned into glass slippers. Oh, thank you! Said Cinderella.

Now, hop into the coach said the fairy godmother but remember all the magic ends when the clock strikes 12. I won’t forget said Cinderella and she went to the palace. At the ball, the King was complaining. The prince has met all the girls in the kingdom he said and he has not found one he likes. Give him time said the Grand Duke, he has had enough time cried the King.

Just then Cinderella came into the ballroom when the Prince saw her he bowed. May I have this dance he asked. Yes! said Cinderella. All night the Prince danced only with Cinderella. They danced around the floor as if in a dream. Everyone said how lovely she is, who can she be, the hours went by quickly.

Suddenly the clock began to strike midnight. Cinderella ran down the palace steps and as she ran she lost a glass slipper. When the prince reached the steps, Cinderella was gone. He picked up the tiny glass slipper, the girl who wore the slipper is the girl I want to marry said the prince. He told the Grand Duke to find her.

Even before Cinderella was home, the magic ended. The coach turned back into a pumpkin, the coachman turned back into a horse. The footman turned back into a dog and there were Cinderella and the mice just as before.

The next day, the Grand Duke took the glass slipper to every house in the kingdom. At last, he came to the house where Cinderella lived. Cinderella was up in her room. First Drizella tried the slipper her foot was much too long. Then Anastasia tried the slipper, her foot was much too wide. Are there any other girls in this house? asked the Grand Duke. No! said the stepmother.

Just then Cinderella came downstairs. Who’s this, asked the Grand Duke. She is only the maid, said the stepmother. I don’t care said the Grand Duke. She too must try the slipper. It fit perfectly, then Cinderella reached into her pocket and pulled out the other glass slipper.

The Grand Duke bowed to Cinderella, you are the girl the prince says he must marry said the Grand Duke. So Cinderella went to the palace and married the prince and they lived happily ever after.
