Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Cinderella.
Cinderella was smart, kind, and beautiful. Her father loved her
very much, and she loved him.
Cinderella had a stepmother and two stepsisters, too.
They did not love Cinderella. They were jealous of her and
were never kind.
Cinderella had to do all of the chores. She mopped the
floors and washed all of the dirt disches. She dusted, scrubbed,
and polished every single thing in the house.
One day, Cinderella’s family received an invitation to a ball.
The prince was having a dance and inviting all of the young
women in the kingdom.

Cinderella ironed her stepsisters’ dresses. She brushed
their hair and fixed their bows. Then she waved good-bye as
they skipped off to the ball. Cinderella was not allowed to go.
After everyone left the house, Cinderella sat alone by the
fireplace and cried. Tears streamed down her beautiful face.
« Oh, how I wish that I could go to the ball », Cinderella
sobbed. « I wish that I had a beautiful dress to wear. »
Just then, a tiny woman with wings flew throught the
window. She had a wand i her hand. It was Cinderella’s fairy
godmother !
« Why are you crying, my dear ? » the fairy godmother
asked Cinderella.
« I want to go to the ball, too, » cried Cinderella.
« Then you shall go ! » said the fairy godmother.
Cinderella’s fairy godmother waved her wand quickly in the
air. Poof ! A pumpking transformed into a golden coach. Six mice
turned into a team of horses to pull the coach. Whoosh !
Cinderella’s old clothes were changed into a beautiful pink and
silver gow and two glass slippers.
ironed = repassa 3
