Cinderella


Cinderella mother died, and every day she went to her grave a wept, and her father remarried.  Her step-sister made her do all the work around the house, from day to night poor Cinderella worked. During the night she had no bed to sleep in so she would lay by the fire. When her father when to the fair one day, he brought presents back for the girls. Cinderella receives a branch she asks for she planted this branch and I grew to a big tree by her mother’s grave. There she sat and pray, crying all her tears. In this tree white-birds came and gave Cinderella her every wish. So the prince of the kingdom sent invitations out for a ball. Cinderella helped her sister get ready for the ball but wish she could come along. Her step-mother said you may come if you get all the good grain out and the ashes. Cinderella asks for the birds help and received it, having the chore done in a hour. But still her step-mother would not let her go. When everyone leaf she ran to her mother’s tree and wept, then she call out bring me silver and gold.  There landed a gold dress and sliver embedded slippers. She looked she beautiful when she enter the ball, her step-family did not know it was her. The prince found her enchanting and would not allow anyone to dress with her but him. The prince lost Cinderella and she fled home, this is where her family found her among the ashes. For the next three nights she did this, each night looking more and more beautiful till finally the prince trap her slippers. The prince came to the house claiming who fits the gold shoe he will marry. The eldest sister tried the shoe on but it was too small, her mother had her cut off her big toe so the shoe would fit, but the prince was not fooled by this ruse. The other sister cut off part of her heel with the same result. Cinderella the last to try on the shoe became a princess. At the young couple’s wedding day Cinderella’s sister were blinded for the wickedness against her.
This story has been told time and time again; actually in my option it has been overdone. I prefer the original and of course the Disney vision.
