Cinderella,even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face from the cinders,was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes,were still clumsy,lumpy and ugly and always would be. One day,beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at Court and the stepststers were getting ready to go to it. Cinderella, didn't even dare ask, "What about me?" for she knew very well what the answer to that would be:"You? My dear girl,you'er staying at home to wash the dishes, scrud the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy."Cinderella sighed at the cat."Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!" and the cat murmured " Miaow".
