CINDERELLA
Once upon a time, there was a kind girl named
Cinderella. All of the animals loved her, especially two mice named Gus and
Jaq. They'd do anything for the girl they called Cinderelly. Cinderella lived
with her stepmother and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. They were
very mean to Cinderella, making her work all day cleaning, sewing, and cooking.
She tried her best to make them happy. Cinderella's stepmother, Lady Tremaine,
was cold, cruel, and jealous of Cinderella’s charm and beauty. She enjoyed
giving Cinderella extra chores to do, such as bathing her cat, Lucifer. One
day, a messenger arrived with a special invitation. There was going to be a
royal ball at the palace! The King wanted his son to find a bride. Every young
woman in the kingdom was invited—including Cinderella! Cinderella was very
excited about the ball. In the attic, she found a dress that had belonged to
her mother. It was a bit old-fashioned, but Cinderella could make it beautiful!
Lady Tremaine didn't want Cinderella to
go to the ball. She wanted the Prince to meet Anastasia and Drizella. Maybe he
would marry one of them! Lady Tremaine kept Cinderella busy with chores that
would take her all night to finish. While Cinderella was working, the mice and
birds fixed her dress. They added ribbons and beads that the two stepsisters
had thrown away. Working together, the animals turned a simple dress into a
fabulous gown!
Cinderella was overjoyed when she saw the dress. Now she could go to the
ball!
"Oh, thank you so
much!" Cinderella said to Gus, Jaq, and the birds. When the stepsisters
saw their old ribbons and beads on Cinderella's dress, they flew into a rage.
They ripped the dress and pulled off the beads. Lady Tremaine didn't stop them.
Cinderella's dream of going to the ball was through. Cinderella ran away to the
garden to cry. Suddenly, her fairy godmother appeared. With a wave of her wand,
she turned a pumpkin into an elegant coach. Cinderella could now go to the
ball, but her dress was still ruined. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" said the
Fairy Godmother, waving her wand again. Cinderella was now wearing a beautiful
gown and sparkling glass slippers. But all of this came with a warning: When
the clock struck midnight, the magic spell would wear off! At the ball, Prince
Charming couldn't take his eyes off Cinderella. The orchestra played, and the
Prince began to dance with the wonderful girl whose name he still didn't know.
For Cinderella, the night was a dream come true. Before too long, the clock
began to strike midnight. "Good-bye!" Cinderella said, hurrying away.
"Come back!" called the Prince. "I don't even know your
name!" As Cinderella fled, one of her glass slippers came off. The Prince
sent the Grand Duke to find the girl who fit the glass slipper. Lady Tremaine
locked Cinderella in the attic, but Cinderella's mouse friends freed her. Then
Lady Tremaine tripped the Grand Duke, and the glass slipper shattered . . . but
Cinderella had the other in her pocket. And it fit! Cinderella and the Prince
were soon married. Everyone rejoiced, including Cinderella's mouse friends, who
wore special outfits to the wedding. Filled with joy, Prince Charming and
Cinderella lived happily ever after.
