Once upon a time | there lived a young girl | called

Cinderella. || She had a stepmother and two ugly stepsisters | who
were very unkind to her. || One day | the Prince invited them to a
ball. || The ugly sisters went, | but Cinderella had to stay at home. ||
As she was sitting by the fireside | crying, | her fairy godmother
suddenly appeared before her. ||

The fairy waved her wand, | and the pumpkin was turned into
a golden coach; | eight mice became eight lovely white horses and
some lizards changed into coachmen. || Cinderella’s rags were
turned into a beautiful dress. ||
