Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl called
Cinderella and she had two ugly step sisters who
were very unkind who made her do all the hard work.
She had to sweep the floors, do all the dishes, while
they dressed up in fine clothes and went to lots of
parties. One day a special invitation arrived at
Cinderella's house. It was from the royal palace.
The king's only son was a truly handsome prince was
going to have a grand ball. Three girls were invited
to come. Cinderella knew she wouldn't be allowed to
go to the ball. But the ugly sisters, ho ho ho, they
were excited. They couldn't talk about anything
else. When the day of the ball came, they made
such a fuss. Poor Cinderella had to rush about
upstairs and downstairs. She fixed their hair in
fancy waves and curls. She helped them put on their
expensive new dresses. And she arranged their
jewels just so. As soon as they had gone, Cinderella
sat down by the fire and she said. "Oh I do wish I
could go to the ball". The next moment, standing
beside her was a lovely old lady with a silver wand in
here hand. "Cinderella, she said " I am your fairy
godmother and you shall go to the ball. But first you
must go into the garden and pick a golden pumpkin,
then bring me six mice from the mousetraps, a
whiskered rat from the rat trap, and six lizards.
You'll find the lizards behind the watering can. So
Cinderella fetched a golden pumpkin, six grey mice, a
whiskered rate, six lizards. The fairy godmother
touched them with her wand and the pumpkin became
a golden coach, the mice became six grey horses,
the rat became a coachman with the most enormous
moustache, and the lizards became six footmen
dressed in green and yellow, then the fairy
godmother touched Cinderella with the wand and her
old dress became a golden dress sparkling with
jewels while on her feet was the prettiest pair of
glass slippers ever seen. Remember said the fairy
godmother you must leave the ball before the clock
strikes twelve because at midnight the magic ends.
"Thank you fairy godmother" said Cinderella and she
climbed into the coach.When Cinderella arrived at
the ball she looked so beautiful that everyone
wondered who she was! Even the ugly sisters. The
Prince of course asked here to dance with him and
they danced all evening. He would not dance with
anyone else. Now Cinderella was enjoying the ball so
