Cinderella
1. Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She was so kind that even the mice and the birds were her friends. Every morning the birds woke her from her sweet dreams with their songs.
Cinderella lived with her cruel stepmother and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. They treated her like a servant. Cinderella had to do all the cooking and sewing and washing and scrubbing. Her sisters never did any work.

One day a royal messenger came to the house. He brought a letter from the King. The stepmother read the letter. The King was giving a royal ball for the Prince that night. Every girl in the kingdom was invited.
"That means I can go!" Cinderella cried.
Her stepsisters laughed.
"Imagine Cinderella dancing with the Prince!" Drizella said. "She can only dance with a broom," added Anastasia.
