Long ago in a far away land, there lived a young girl named Cinderella
Cinderella was kind and smart and beautiful. When Cinderella was
very young she had a happy life, then one day her mother died
soon after her father decided to marry again.
The woman he married had two daughters of her own
Noddy and Doddy. Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters were not kind.
Cinderella's stepmother gave her daughter's beautiful gowns of finest silk and dazzling
jewels and toys. To Cinderella she gave nothing
and then sadly Cinderella's father died too.
Cinderella was left all alone in a large house with her
two mean stepsisters and aweful stepmother. Cinderella's life was hard
her stepmother made Cinderella a servant in her own home
Every morning Cinderella had to rise before dawn to do the cooking
the cleaning, the laundry, the baking and the
gardening as well as take orders from Noddy
and Doddy all day long
By the end of the day Cinderella was so exhausted she
would occasionally fall fast asleep, curled up by the fire
near the Cinder and the ashes. This is why
she was called Cinderella. Though her clothes
were tattered and her face and hair were covered in ashes
and soot. Cinderlla was still beautiful and had a kind and
cheerful heart. Noddy and Doddy teased Cinderella all the time
"Your clothes look like dirty diapers" Noddy would shriek
"Your face looks like a bucket of mud" Doddy would say.
Then they would laugh and eat chocolate and
ham sandwiches while watching Cinderella work. Cinderella's stepsisters were as ugly
on the inside as they were on the outside
One Day a page from the castle arrived at the house with an invitation. The prince is
hosting a grand ball in three days time. He is hoping to find a bride. Every eligible
young woman shall come and meet the Prince. Noddy and
Doddy were very excited. "I'm going to marry the Prince"
Noddy exclaimed. "Why should you marry the prince you look like a
rotten potato" Doddy shouted. Noddy and Doddy were just about to get
into a very large fight when they heard Cinderella ask "May I go to the ball ?"
For a moment two sisters stared at each other, then they laughed so hard
they rolled around on the floor laughing. "You'll go to the ball" Doddy trottled
"that's the silliest thing I've ever heard" Noddy giggled
"Can you imagine our Cinderella married to the prince" Doddy exclaimed which
made the girls laugh till they heard "Girls! what is going on here ?"
Cinderella's stepmother yelled as she entered the room. The girl's stopped
laughing and yelling to tell their mother what had happened
"don't be silly of course Cinderella may go to the
ball" said the the stepmother. The girls were
very confused! this they did not expect. Noddy and
Doddy began to protest when their mother continued
"She may go to the ball if all of her chores are completed and she has sewn herself a
new dress
all that day and the next, and the next
Cinderella's stepmother gave Cinderella a long list of chores to do everyday from
morning until Noon. Cinderella scrubbed, and mopped and polished.
There was no time to make a new dress. On the night of the ball
Noddy and Doddy were dressed up in their finest
gowns and followed their mother out of the
door to the waiting carriage
Cinderella silently watched them go, she did not have any
dress so she could not go to the ball. Sadly Cinderella
wandered out to the garden. There she sat on a
bench and cried. Suddenly a little old lady with wings
and wand was floating right in front of Cinderella.
"Cinderella" said the lady, I am your fairy godmother
Since it is your wish, you would go to the ball, "but How? "
asked Cinderella "I have no dress and no way to get there"
"run quick and fetch me four mice, a pumpkin and the lizard
from the garden. Cinderella did so as fast as she could
First the fairy godmother touched the pumpkin. Poof the pumpkin was
transformed into a dazzling coach. Next she touched the four mice
Poof the four mice turned into four beautiful white horses
then the fairy godmother touched the lizard. Poof the
lizard turned into a stately Coachmen in uniform.
Cinderella was very surprised to see them.
"Now!" said the fairy godmother
"Since you are so kind and smart, I will make you as beautiful on the
outside as you are on the inside" The fairy godmother touched her wand to
the Cinderella's torn dress. And Poof, Cinderella's rag became a beautiful ballgown.
and on the Cinderella's feet were two
delicate glass slippers. "Enjoy yourself at the ball" said the fairy godmother but
"be warned that My magic will end at midnight, and everything will as it was before"
"Oh thank you, thank you" cut Cinderella as she run
into her coach and she sped off to the castle
When Cinderella arrived to the ball everyone stared at her, she was
the most beautiful woman there. She looked so different that even her
stepsisters and stepmother did not know who she was
the prince thought she was beautiful too. when he talked to her he also discovered
that she was kind, smart and funny too. the Prince danced
with Cinderella all night long, and Cinderella never had
so much fun. Suddenly Cinderella noticed that the clock was about to strike
midnight "I had a lovely evening" Cinderella told the Prince.
"But I really must go now". With that she gathered up her skirt and fled out of the castle
leaving the Prince very startled "Wait" he cried "I don't even know your name!"
he chased after her but Cinderella had vanished into the night, then the prince
found the glass slipper on the staircase, in Cinderella's
haste to leave the slipper had fallen off of her foot and
she didn't have time to go back
Prince had a great idea!
I will search every house in my kingdom I will find the woman who fits this
slipper and I will marry her if she would like to marry me.
Next day the prince began his search. He went to every
house in his entire kingdom but still he could
not find the woman that fit the glass slipper
Finally, he arrived at the Cinderella's house. Noddy was the first
to try on the slipper but her foot was much too fat. Next Doddy tried on
the slipper
but her foot was much too long. Desperate the Prince
asked, "are there any other young women in the house". 106 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:48,976 "only our maid servant"
Cinderella's stepmother snorted "but she didn't go to the ball" "I would like her"
"to try" said the prince and they had to obey him
because he was the prince. Cinderella came out of the
kitchen and tried on the slipper
It fit her feet perfectly. The prince smiled at
Cinderella and nervously asked her "will you be my bride"
"I most certainly will" Cinderella replied. "you are
as handsome on the inside as you are on the outside.
Soon after Cinderella and the Prince were married and
Cinderella moved to the castle. Noddy, Doddy and her stepmother
moved to the castle as well and ate a lot of chocolates and a lot of ham sandwiches
and everyone lived happily ever after
