Once upon a time, in a land filled with magic, lived a girl named Cinderella. She was very kind.
Cinderella had two stepsisters. They were not kind. They ordered Cinderella around and made her do chores.
Every day, Cinderella worked hard. She cleaned, cooked, and washed. But she always stayed cheerful.
One day, a message came. The King was hosting a royal ball. Everyone was invited, even Cinderella.
Her stepsisters laughed. 'You, at the ball?' they jeered. Cinderella just hoped to go.
Cinderella's dream seemed impossible. Her dress was old and torn. But she imagined dancing at the ball.
When the ball night came, Cinderella was sad. Her stepsisters left for the ball, leaving her behind.
Suddenly, a kind voice spoke. 'Why so sad?' asked a lady with a wand. 'I'm your fairy godmother.'
With a wave of her wand, the fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a coach and mice into horses!
Then, the fairy godmother tapped Cinderella. Her old dress became a beautiful gown, and glass slippers appeared.
Cinderella thanked her fairy godmother and hurried to the ball. She was ready to make her dream come true.
At the ball, Cinderella danced and laughed. The prince saw her kindness and they danced all night.
As midnight struck, Cinderella rushed home, leaving a glass slipper. The prince found it and searched for her.
When the prince arrived with the slipper, it fit Cinderella perfectly. They were joyfully reunited.
Cinderella's dreams had come true. She and the prince were kind and fair to everyone. They lived happily ever after.
