PROLOGUE
Once upon a time, or shall we say, twice upon a time, another tale is about to
unfold. It is neither your typical bedtime story of a helpless princess waiting to be
saved by a fairy god mother or to be awaken by a prince’s precious kiss, nor a legend of
how something came to be.
In a not-so-faraway land, there were twins who were born with golden spoons in
their mouths – precious like gold but rusty like iron. They were spoiled by their parents
with wealth and power, but they forgot to clothe them with moral gifts and values. And
they grew up, thinking they were ahead of others.
As they get older, they become even worst but not for long until …
OPENING SCENE
Once upon a time
CINDERELLA SCENE
The scene reveals Cinderella having her moment in the garden, holding the other
pair of glass shoe. She suddenly overhears her stepmother telling her daughters that the
prince made an order of finding the princess who wore the glass shoes at the Grand
Ball. She feel hopeless that there could be no way for her to try to fit the shoes on and
even if she could, the prince may not like her since she is not a princess to begin with.
She cried and ran hastily towards her room with her animal friends.
The ladies enter the scene, feeling excited. Then, the twins came in feeling curious
of what is about to happen. Not for long, the soldiers arrived briskly. After they read the
order from the castle, they begin the fitting of the glass shoe, one after another.

to walk away, then suddenly Cinderella came. She wanted to try the glass shoe on, but
the soldiers were gone. They helped Cinderella to get in and try the shoe. They tried to
convince the soldiers, but they refused. They argued until they agreed. When Cinderella
wore the shoes on, the soldiers were shocked for she is not even a princess. The prince
saw it and was so amazed. So as gratitude, she gave her old shoe to Aurea and
Agambir. The prince and Cinderella walked away with the white horse going to the
castle.

angry. She asks why was Aurea hitting the plants she just rolled her eyes and said
“Why? Its none of your business”. Because of what she said the girl got angry. So, the
girl said that “You need to learn a lesson”. They both stared at each other. Agambir
replied to her “And why are going to do that?” The girl said that if they will not follow
what she said they can’t get out of the place.

asked what they have learned. Both of them answered and said that they’ve learned how to
love the nature because it’s so hard to plant so we better love the nature. So, Pocahontas got
happy because of what they’ve said. So as a gift of what they’ve done Pocahontas gave the
feather to them. They thanked Pocahontas and waked away.
