After a few years, the man married again. The new wife hated the man’s daughter
because the girl’s goodness and beauty showed how silly and lazy her own daugh

he floors and clean the whole house.

Every day, when the girl finished her work, she would sit in a corner by the fir

.

Her stepsisters were very unkind to her because, even in her rags, Cinderella wa

Cinderella was very unhappy, but she was so brave she never complained.

One day, a king’s messenger announced that the Prince was giving a grand ball a
nd all the young women in the kingdom were invited.
Cinderella’s stepsisters were very excited. They made poor Cinderella work extr
a hard. She had to sew, iron, lengthen and shorten their dresses and skirts.

“I want to wear my red velvet dress with the silver collar,” said the elder st
epsister.
“I want to wear my golden coat and my diamond crown,” said the younger stepsis
ter.
“Would you like to go to the ball, Cinderella?” asked the younger stepsister.
“Oh, please don’t make fun of me,” said Cinderella. “Look at my poor clothes
.”
“Cinderella is right,” said the elder stepsister. “She would be ridiculous an
d bring us shame.”

Although the stepsisters were unkind and insulting, Cinderella tried her best to
make them look nice.
Soon, the day came for the grand ball and the two stepsisters went off in splend
id dresses. Cinderella watched them from the window of her room and when the coa
ch left, she started to cry.

“What’s the matter, sweet child?” a voice asked.
Cinderella was surprised to see a kind-looking woman standing before her.
“Don’t be frightened,” said the kind-looking woman. “I’m your fairy godmoth
er. I’m here to help you. Tell me what troubles you.”
“Oh, fairy godmother, I would like so much to go to the ball, “said Cinderella
through her tears.
“Then you shall go,” said her fairy godmother, smiling. “Go to the garden and
find me a pumpkin.”
