Cinderella

Once upon a time   there  lived a little girl called Cinderella. Her mother died and his father married again.
The stepmother was very angry  ( cruel). She and her two daughters hated Cinderella. Cinderella worked hard. Every day she got up early and did a lot of housework.

Once the King decided to give a ball and invited all the people of the Kingdoom.
The stepmother and her daughters began preparing. They ordered Cinderella to sew beautiful dresses in one night.
Cinderella wanted to go to the King's ball but her stepmother gave her too much housework.

When everybody left home Cinderella stayed alone. She was sad. She said to herself: "I want the happiness to come to me". Suddenly, the fireplace noised and the Fairy - the aunt of Cinderella came down of a cloud.
The fairy said: "My dear niece, I can see that you work hard and you would like to go to the King's ball".
"Yes, my aunt", - ansewered Cinderella. - "But I can't. I have so much work".
"You will go to the ball. You  have merited it".

The fairy waved  with the magic stick and suddenly a carriage appeared. She waved with  the stick for  the second time and Cinderella found herself in a white luxurious dress. The Fairy told to come back before the midnight.

"When the clock  strikes midnight", - she said, - your new pretty dress will be turned into a poor one and your carriage  will be turned into a pumpkin".

In the King's palace Cinderella met the King and his son, Prince. The Prince fell in love with Cinderella immediately.

Cinderella enjoyed  the ball very much and forgot her promice to come back before twelve. She remembered about it  when the clock was striking. She ran out of the palace without saying good-bye to the Prince.
