Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a kind and beautiful girl named Cinderella. She had a wicked stepmother and two mean stepsisters who made her do all the chores. But Cinderella never gave up hope for a better life.

One day, while Cinderella was sweeping the floor, she found a dusty old mirror in the attic. As she wiped off the dust, a magical sparkle appeared, and the mirror began to speak!

The mirror told Cinderella about a grand ball at the palace where the Prince was looking for a bride. Cinderella desperately wanted to go, but her stepmother and stepsisters wouldn't let her. They were jealous of her beauty and didn't want her to outshine them.

With a wave of the magic mirror's hand, Cinderella's rags transformed into a beautiful ballgown, and her old broom turned into a shiny carriage! She hurried off to the ball, but the mirror warned her to return before midnight because the magic would only last until then.

At the ball, Cinderella danced with the Prince, and they fell in love. But as the clock struck midnight, she rushed out of the palace, leaving behind one glass slipper. The magic wore off, and she turned back into her old self.

The Prince searched the kingdom for the girl who fit the glass slipper, and it finally led him to Cinderella. When the slipper fit perfectly, she became a princess, and they lived happily ever after.
