We all know the traditional fairy tale of Cinderella.

Well you are about to find out the true Cinderella tale.

Cinderella, as you know, lived in her fathers castle with her step-mother and her 2 horrible step-sisters, Anastasia and Drizella. Her father died not long ago but since then her life has been miserable.

Every day her step-mother orders her about, forcing her to do endless jobs throughout the castle. She also had to cook meals for all of them and clean up after her step-sisters.

Cinderella is not a happy girl. The life she once knew, so full of hope and happiness had turned into a life full of despair and sadness.

One day Cinderella heard there was going to be a ball at the Kings castle so that the Prince could find a bride.

Cinderella just had to be there but she knew her step-mother would not let her.

So Cinderella worked extra hard at every job she had to do. She even smiled and sang happy songs as she made her step-sister’s dresses for the ball.

When no one was watching Cinderella took the scraps from Anastasia and Drizella’s dresses to make one for herself. She sewed the scraps of material together and in the end the dress was beautiful. Much prettier than the ones she made for Anastasia and Drizella.

Cinderella had unusual friends. Gus, the mouse was her best friend and she also made good friends with other mice, birds and every animal she met.

As she had to work so hard, Cinderella didn’t have time to make friends or go anywhere so they were the only friends she had.

Here friends all loved to hear Cinderella sing. The birds chirped along as she got ready for the ball.

Cinderella looked lovely. It wasn’t perfect but not bad for what she could do.

Innocently Cinderella skipped down the long set of stairs to meet her step-sisters and her step-mother at the front door.

“I’m ready!” Cinderella proclaimed excitedly.

All three of them turned around with nasty scowls on their faces.

“Ready for what?” asked the step-mother.

“I’m ready to go to the ball.” Cinderella replied.

All three started laughing hysterically.

“Oh you’re so funny!” cried Anastasia.

“You’re not going to the ball!” snapped the step-mother.
