Cinderella

Edited by Jane Mouttet

Once upon a time, a beautiful young girl named Cinderella lived in a faraway kingdom. She lived with her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, who treated her like a servant and made her do all the household chores.

From a young age, Cinderella dreamed of a life beyond her current circumstances. Despite the harsh treatment from her stepmother and stepsisters, she remained kind and gentle, always envisioning a better future. Her only solace was the company of the mice and birds she had befriended in her little attic room.

One day, the kingdom received an invitation to a grand ball held by the prince. Cinderella’s stepsisters were thrilled at the prospect of attending the ball. But, they refused to take Cinderella with them, believing she was unworthy.

Heartbroken, Cinderella watched as her stepsisters got ready for the ball, dressed in beautiful gowns and sparkling jewelry. As they left, tears welled in Cinderella’s eyes as she wished she could go to the ball and meet the prince.

Suddenly, a magical fairy godmother appeared before Cinderella. With a wave of her wand, she transformed Cinderella’s rags into a stunning gown with glass slippers. She also turned a pumpkin into a magnificent carriage and mice into prancing horses.

Cinderella was overjoyed at her transformation and thanked her fairy godmother before setting off to the ball. When she arrived, all eyes turned to her, captivated by her beauty and grace. The prince was immediately drawn to her and asked her to dance.

As they danced, Cinderella and the prince fell in love with each other. But, as the clock struck midnight, Cinderella remembered her fairy godmother’s warning and had to leave before her magic wore off.

Cinderella lost one of her glass slippers on the stairs in a hurry. The prince searched the kingdom for the mysterious maiden who had stolen his heart, using the glass slipper as a clue.

It fit perfectly when he finally found Cinderella and placed the glass slipper on her foot. Overjoyed, the prince declared Cinderella his true love, and they lived happily ever after.

Cinderella’s kindness and unwavering spirit won the prince’s heart, proving that true love knows no boundaries. Thus, Cinderella became a beloved princess in the kingdom, forever remembered for her grace, beauty, and kindness.
