The Story of Cinderella
"Little Cinderella was a stepchild, and they say, that all her wicked family always treated her that way. And when the Prince decided it was time he had a bride, and give a ball for all the girls throughout the countryside, poor Cinderella didn't have a single dress to wear--and so she stayed at home and cried and wished she could be there. But then a magic fairy said, "Now there, child don't you cry. I'll wave my wand and change things in the twinkling of an eye!" So Cinderella's rags became the grandest dress she'd seen, her slippers turned to lovely glass and she looked like a queen! "Be back by twelve," the fairy said, "the spell is broken then, and all your pretty clothes, my child, will turn to rags again!" And when the Prince first saw her there he asked if she would dance, and after that no other girl had even half a chance. But when she fled at 12 o'clock the Prince was in despair--until he found her slipper that she'd lost upon the stair. And then he summoned all his men and told them what to do-"Search all the kingdom--find the girl whose foot will fit this shoe."And when he found his "Princess," they were married right away, and lived "happy ever after" so the fairy stories say!"
