Part 1: A Girl Named Cinderella

ONCE UPON A TIME a girl named Cinderella lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters.  Cinderella had to work hard while the others slept till the sun was high in the sky. It was Cinderella who had to wake up each morning when it was still dark and cold to start the fire.  It was Cinderella who cooked the meals. It was 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 came to town.  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 in the land were invited to come.  The stepsisters were wild with joy! They would wear their most beautiful gowns and fix their hair extra nice. Maybe the prince would like them!

Cinderella now had extra work to do.  She had to sew two new gowns for her step-sisters.  

“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?”her hair.  And there were her driver and four horses, waiting for her.

“Coming?” called the driver.

"Right here," said Cinderella.  She stepped into the carriage.  And they were off.
