The Story of Disney's Cinderella
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 much that she forgot her fairy godmothers warning until it was almost
midnight and the clock began to strike. One. Two. Three. She hurried out of the
ballroom. Four. Five. Six. As she ran down the palace steps one of her glass
slippers fell off. Seven. Eight. Nine. She ran on toward the golden coach. Ten
Eleven Twelve. Then there was Cinderella in her old dress. The golden pumpkin
lay in her feet. And scampering down off down the road were six grey mice, a
whiskered rat and six green lizards.. So Cinderella had to walk home and by the
time the ugly sisters returned home was sitting quietly by the fire.
Now when Cinderella ran from the
palace, the prince tried to follow her and he found the glass slipper. He said,
"I shall marry the beautiful girl whose foot fits this slipper and only
her. IN the morning the prince went from house to house with the glass slipper
and every young lady tried to squeeze her foot into it. But it didn't' fit any
of them.
At last the prince came to
Cinderella's house. First one ugly sister tried to squash her foot into the
slipper. But her foot was too wide and fat. Then the other ugly sister tried
but her foot was too long and thin. Please said Cinderella, let me try.
"The slipper won't fit you", said the ugly sisters. "You didn't
go to the ball!" But Cinderella slipped her foot into the glass slipper
and it fit perfectly. The next moment standing beside her was the fairy
godmother. She touched Cinderella with the wand and there she was in a golden
dress sparkling with jewels and on her feet was the prettiest pair of glass
slippers ever seen. The ugly sisters were so surprised that, for once they
couldn't think of anything to say. But the Prince knew what to say. He asked
Cinderella to marry him.
And then there was a happy wedding.
Everyone who had gone to the ball was invited, even the ugly sisters. There was
wonderful food, lots of music and dancing. And the Prince of course danced
every dance with Cinderella. He would not dance with anyone else.
