9. Example : Cinderella
Once upon a time, there lived an unhappy young girl with her
stepmother and two step sisters who didn't like her. All the nice things,
kind thought and loving touches were for her own daughters. But, for
the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. For she had to work
hard all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a
while by the fire, near the cinders. That is how she got her nickname,
for everybody called her Cinderella.
It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face
from the cinders, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how
splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy, and ugly.
One day, a ball was to be held by the royal family of the kingdom to find
the prince's spouse. Cinderella's stepsisters ordered beautiful new dress
for the ball. Cinderella wanted to go to the ball but her stepmother
asked her to stay at home.

10. "You? My dear girl, you're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the
floor and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home
tired and very sleepy." asked her stepmother.
Cinderella only nodded her head and began to work. Suddenly something
amazing happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by
herself, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared.
"Don't be afraid Cinderella, I know what you feel, my dear. Do you want to
go to ball?" asked the fairy.
"Yes, I do. But look! How can I go to the ball with this dress? Cinderella
replied.
Then the fairy turned Cinderella's dress became the most beautiful dress
and with beautiful slippers, the loveliest ever seen in the realm. The fairy
also turned a pumpkin into a parking coach and turned the mice become
six white horses.

11. "Now, you can go to the Court and go to the ball. But remember my dear
Cinderella, you must leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is
when the spell ends. Your coach will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will
become mice and you will be dressed again in rags with clogs.
At the ballroom, Cinderella amazed everybody there include the prince.
When the prince set eyes on Cinderella, he was stuck by her beauty. Walking
over to her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance. Cinderella had a
wonderful time at the ball. But, all of a sudden, she heard the sound of a
clock, the first stroke of midnight.
Remembered what the fairy had said, Cinderella ran back to the coach and
went home. But he lost one of her slippers in ballroom. The prince who was
now madly in love with her, picked up her slipper and would search for the
girl whose foot fitted with the slipper.
In the next morning, the prince began to search everywhere in the kingdom
but no girl whose foot fitted with the slipper. Until he found Cinderella house
and asked Cinderella's stepsisters to wear the slipper. But none fitted with the
slipper. The prince began hopeless.
