Once upon a time, there was a kind maiden named Cinderella.

She lived with her wicked stepmother, who made her do all the chores.

One day, the kingdom announced a royal ball, but Cinderella was forbidden to go.

Her fairy godmother appeared, turning rags into a magnificent gown and a pumpkin into a carriage.

The fairy warned the spell would break at midnight.

At the ball, Cinderella captivated the prince with her grace and beauty.

She had to flee at midnight, leaving a glass slipper behind.

The prince searched the kingdom, fitting the slipper on her and they married happily ever after.
