CINDERELLA
Once upon a time... there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead, her father had married another woman, a widow with two daughters, and her stepmother didn't like her.
All this was laid on for her daughters. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all.

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.
One day, the messenger bought an invitation for fancy-dress ball.

The stepsisters were getting ready to go to it, but Cinderela must to stay at the home.

Suddenly something amazing happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting by herself, was appeared a fairy.
"Don't be afraid , Cinderella," said the fairy. "The wind blew me your sighs. I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!"

With a flick of her magic wand... Cinderella found herself wearing the beautiful dress,
,,But remember!” -said the fairy - You must leave the ball at midnight and come home. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" – she said

Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball... , she danced with a prince.

All of a sudden, she heard the sound of a clock: the first stroke of midnight!

As she ran she lost one of her slippers.

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 content until I find her!" So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of all the girls... and on Cinderella's foot as well... The slipper fitted perfectly.

The prince married Cinderella and they lived longly and happy.
