Part 1: A Girl Named Cinderella


ONCE UPON A TIME a girl named Cinderella lived with her stepmother and two

stepsisters. It was Cinderella who had to wake up each morning when it was still

dark and cold to start the fire. Cinderella who cooked the meals. Cinderella who
kept the fire going. The poor girl could not stay clean, from all the ashes and

cinders by the fire.

“What a mess you are!” her two stepsisters laughed. That is why they called her
“Cinderella.”

One day, big news was announced in their village. It was time for the Prince to

find a bride, and the King and Queen were going to have a ball! All of the young

ladies of the land were invited to come. The stepsisters were wild with joy. They

would wear their most beautiful gowns and fix their hair in the most splendid

way. No doubt they would be the one to win the favor of the Prince!

Cinderella now had extra work to do. She had to sew two fabulous gowns for her

step-sisters in the latest fashion.


No doubt they would be the one to win the favor of the
Prince!

“Faster!” shouted one stepsister.


“You call that a dress?” screamed the other.

“Oh, dear!” said Cinderella. “When can I–“

The stepmother marched into the room. “When can you WHAT?”

“Well,” said the girl, “when will I have time to make my own dress for the ball?”

“You?” barked the stepmother. “Who said YOU were going to the ball?”

“Did you hear that?” One stepsister rolled back with laughter. "Cinderella, going

to the ball?"
“Looking like THAT?" Her stepsisters roared with laughter. "They'd never let

that mess in the front door!"

Cinderella thought to herself, “I may look like a mess but I am not a mess, not

really, And if I could, I WOULD go to the ball.”

Soon the big day came. Poufed and pampered, the stepmother and stepsisters

were ready to leave for the big night.
