Unhappy Cinderella All the nice things, kind thoughts and loving bits were for her own daughters. And not only the kind thoughts and love, but also dresses, shoes, shawls, delicious food, comfortable beds, in addition to every home comfort. All this was laid to her daughters. But, for the poor unhappy woman, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters' hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. For she had to work hard all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That is how she got her nickname, for everybody called her Cinderella.

You've got something neither of your stepsisters have and that's beauty."
It was quite true. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at Court and the stepsisters were getting ready to go to it. for she knew very well what the answer to that would be:
"You? My dear woman, you're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They'll come home tired and very tired."
"Oh dear, I'm so miserable!"
In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by herself, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared.
"Don't be amazed, Cinderella," said the fairy. "The wind blew me your sighs. I know you'd really like to go to the ball. And so you shall!"
"How can I, dressed in rags?" Cinderella replied. "The servants will turn me away!" With a flick of her magic wand... Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress, the loveliest ever seen in the realm.
"Now that we've settled the matter of the dress," said the fairy, "we'll have to provide you with a coach. A real lady would never go to a ball on foot!"
"Quick! Get me a pumpkin!" she ordered.
"Oh of course," said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat.
"You, bring me seven mice!"
Cinderella with poor dress and beautiful dress
"Seven mice!" said the cat. "I did not understand fairies ate mice too!"
"They're not for eating, idiotic! Do as you're told! ... and, remember they must be living!"
Cinderella soon returned with a fine pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar.
Cinderella"Good!" exclaimed the fairy. With a flick of her magic wand... wonder of wonders! The pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman, in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.
"I shall present you in Court. You'll shortly see that the Prince, in whose honor the ball will be held, will be enchanted by your loveliness. But remember! You have to leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is when the spell ends. Your trainer will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will become mice again and the coachman will turn back to a mouse... and you'll be dressed again in rags and wearing clogs instead of these dainty little slippers! Do you know?" Cinderella smiled and said,
"Yes, I know!"
When Cinderella entered the ballroom at the palace, a hush fell. Everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her elegance, her beauty and grace.
"Who can this be?" people asked each other. The two stepsisters also wondered who the newcomer was, for never in a month of Sundays, would they ever have guessed that the beautiful girl was really poor Cinderella who talked to the cat!
When the prince set eyes on Cinderella, he was struck by her beauty. Walking over to her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance. And to the great disappointment of all the young ladies, he danced with Cinderella all evening.
"Who are you, fair maiden?" the Prince kept asking her. But Cinderella only replied:
"What does it matter who I am! You'll never see me again anyway."
"Oh, but I shall, I'm very sure!" he replied.
Cinderella and PrinceCinderella had a wonderful time at the ball... But, all of a sudden, she heard the sound of a clock: the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Prince's arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the night.
The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up her slipper and said to his ministers,
"Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be satisfied until I find her!" So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of all the girls... and on Cinderella's foot as well... Surprise! The slipper fitted perfectly.
"That horrible untidy girl simply can't have been in the ball," snapped the stepmother. "Tell the Prince he needs to marry one of my two daughters! Can not you see how awful Cinderella is! Can not you see?"
"That's enough!" she exclaimed, raising her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said,
"Come with us, fair maiden! The Prince expects to present you with his engagement ring!" So Cinderella joyfully went with them, and lived happily ever after with her Prince. And as for the cat, he just said "Miaow"!
