Longtime ago, there was a little girl, her father was a businessman. He was too busy to look after her. unfortunately the little girl's mother passed away. She buried her mother under a tree in the garden. The little girl cried in the garden every day. Even the birds in the tree became her friedns. Before long, her father remarried. The stepmother had two daughters. They all looked beautiful but evil hearts inside. They lived in her room, got all her clothes and forced her to do a lot of housework.
The little girl did not have a room, so she had to sleep beside the stove and got very dusty. In that way, her stepmother and stepsisters called her Cinderella.
One day, the king decided to hold a ball to choose a wife for the prince.
Cinderella's stepsisters were invited to the ball. They were very excited. "Hurry up! Comb my hair!" one stepsister ordered Cinderella. "Cinderella, tie my belt, polish my shoes!' the other one said.
Cinderella also would like to go to the ball. "How could ou go to the ball in such dusty clothes?" her stepmother sneered. Finally, her stepmothe and sisters left. Cinderella was very upset. She went to her mother's grave and cried there. Suddenly, an old woman appeared.
Cinderella was surprised. She greeted the old woman politely, "Good evening, Granny!"
"Don't cry. I'm a fairy. I will help you to go to the ball!" the old woman said.
Cinderella was puzzled. The fairy took out a magic wand from her robe. She pointed it at Cinderella. Suddenly, Cinderella's ragged clothes turned into a beautiful dress! And her hair was done up, too!
"What a beautiful dress! I can now go to the ball ! Thank you very much!" Cinderella said happily.
Cinderella could hardly wait to attend the ball. Then the fairy told her, "Wait a moment. You should take a carriage." The fairy thought for a while and then, she pointed her magic wand at the big pumpkin in the corner of the house. The pumpkin became a large carriage!
"We still need four horses," the fairy said to herself. Just then she saw four mice running passed by them. So she waved her magic wand and turned the mice into four white horses!
Then the fairy finally gave Cinderella a box.
Cinderella opened it. A pair of glass shoes was lying in it! She put them on and they fitted perfectly. Cinderella thanked the fairy again and got into the carriage ang go to the all.
The fairy reminded her, "You must come back before midnight. After twelve o'clock tonight, all the magic things will disappear."
