Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters. They were very mean to her. One day, Cinderella received an invitation to the royal ball. She was so excited!
Cinderella wanted to go to the ball, but her stepmother and stepsisters didn't let her. As she sat crying, a fairy appeared. The fairy used magic to give Cinderella a beautiful dress and glass slippers. Cinderella was amazed!
Cinderella went to the ball and danced with the prince. They had a wonderful time together. But Cinderella had to leave before midnight because the fairy's magic would wear off. As she ran out of the castle, one of her glass slippers fell off.
The prince found Cinderella's glass slipper and decided to find the girl it belonged to. He went from house to house, trying the slipper on every girl's foot. Finally, he reached Cinderella's house. When Cinderella tried on the slipper, it fit perfectly!
The prince and Cinderella got married and lived happily ever after. Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters realized how mean they had been and apologized. Cinderella forgave them and they all became a happy family.
