| CINDERELLA Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a sweet and pretty girl named Cinderella. She lived with her mean old stepmother and two mean and ugly stepsisters. They made Cinderella work day and night, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of them. One day an invitation came from the palace of the king. A great ball was being given for the prince, and every girl in the kingdom was invited. |
"How lovely!" said Cinderella. "I am invited, too."
"You!" shrieked her stepsisters. "The prince's ball for you?" The kept Cinderella busy all week long getting then ready for the ball. A coach pulled up to the door on the evening of the ball. "Why, Cinderella!" said the cruel stepsisters. "You're not ready for the ball!" |
