Hi I'm Dan and today I'm reading Cinderella retold by Ronnie Randall and illustrated by
Ailie Busby. Here we go.
Once there was a beautiful girl called Cinderella, who lived with her mean stepmother and stepsisters.
The stepsisters wore fancy ribbons and laces, but they both had such UGLY faces.
Cinderella was gentle and sweet, but she had to wear rags and clogs on her feet.
“The prince is having a ball,” said the stepmother, “and he has invited all the
young ladies in the kingdom!"
Cinderella’s stepsisters were very excited. “Help us get dressed in our very best.,”
they squawked at Cinderella.
They rode off in a carriage with their heads held high. Cinderella watched and waved, then
sat down to cry.
“How i wish i could go to the ball,” Cinderella wept.
Suddenly, with a flash of light and a whoosh of air, a kind old lady was standing there!
“Who are you?” Cinderella cried. “I’m your fairy godmother,” the women
replied. “You shall go to the ball!"
The fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a coach...
… six mice into six fine horses, and a rat into a handsome carriage driver.
Six Lizards became six footmen in green coats.
Cinderella’s rags became a beautiful gown! She shimmered with jewels and on her feet
were two glass slippers, dainty and neat
“Have a good time at the ball!” her fairy godmother called. “But be back before midnight
- that’s when the magic will end!"
Cinderella.
The Prince asked Cinderella to dance, and together they swirled and whirled and twirled
across the room.
was having such fun that she forgot all about her promise to her fairy godmother...
Suddenly, the clock struck twelve!
he couldn’t see his princess. There was only s girl wearing rags.
Then the prince saw something gleaming by his feet.
“It’s her glass slipper!” he said “I know what i’ll do. I’ll search the
kingdom through nd through to find the girl whose foot fits this shoe."
The Prince visited every house in the kingdom. “I will marry the girl who can fit into
this slipper,” he told everyone.
Both of Cinderella’s stepsisters tried. The first one’s feet were MUCH too wide.
She wouldn’t be there prince’s bride!
The second Stepsister’s feet were TOO fat and hairy.
i try?" The stepsisters laughed and called out, “YOU?”
But the prince said, “Yes, please do."
Of course, the slipper fitted Cinderella perfectly!
With a flick of her wand, Cinderella wore a beautiful ball gown.
The prince took Cinderella into his arms and said, “Will you be my bride?"
“Yes, i will,” Cinderella replied.
So they were married, and lived happily ever after.
