9 Now I’d like to read you a story.
Listen for the words Once upon a time.

10

11 Once upon a time there was a little girl whose mother died leaving her to the care of her father. After a time, the father married another lady. Now this lady was proud and haughty, and had two grown-up daughters as disagreeable as herself.

12 As she grew older they made her work as a servant, and even sift the cinders; on which account they used to call her in mockery “Cinderella.”

13 But Cinderella bore all her troubles with patience, not even complaining to her father, and, in spite of her hard toil, she grew more lovely in face and figure every year.

14 One day the King of that country gave a ball, to which all ladies of the land were invited. Nothing was now talked of but the rich dresses they were to wear.

15 At last the happy day arrived
At last the happy day arrived. The two proud sisters set off in high spirits. Cinderella followed them with her eyes until the coach was out of sight.

16 She then began to cry bitterly
She then began to cry bitterly. While she was sobbing, her Fairy Godmother, appeared before her.

17 “Do not cry, Cinderella,” she said; "you also shall go to the ball, because you are a kind, good girl. Bring me a large pumpkin." Cinderella obeyed, and the Fairy, touching it with her wand, turned it into a grand coach. Then she desired Cinderella to go to the trap, and bring her a rat.

18 The girl obeyed, and a touch of the Fairy's wand turned him into a very smart coachman. Two mice were turned into footmen; four grasshoppers into white horses.

19 Next, the Fairy Godmother touched Cinderella's rags, and they became rich satin robes, trimmed with point lace. Diamonds shone in her hair and on her neck and arms.

20 Her old shoes became a charming pair of glass slippers, which shone like diamonds.
When Cinderella was thus attired, her godmother made her get into her splendid coach, giving her a caution to leave the ball before the clock struck twelve.

21 On her arrival, her beauty struck everybody with wonder
On her arrival, her beauty struck everybody with wonder. The gallant Prince gave her a courteous welcome, and led her into the ballroom.

22 She was so beautiful that everybody looked at her, and wondered who she was; and the Prince asked her to dance with him, and afterwards would dance with no one else.

23 The Prince would scarcely let her out of his sight, and Cinderella forgot about the warning, till glancing up at the clock, she saw it wanted only five minutes to twelve.

24 At once she darted out of the room, and ran through the palace as fast as she could go, but as she reached the hall, she lost one of her precious glass slippers!

25 Alas. the clock had struck Twelve
Alas! the clock had struck Twelve. She found no coach, only a pumpkin, and the rat and mice ran quickly away when they saw her; while all her fine dress turned to rags, and she had to run home alone in the darkness of the night.

26 The Prince's search was rewarded by his finding the glass slipper, which he well knew belonged to the unknown Princess. He loved the Princess so much that he now resolved to marry her.

27 And as he felt sure that no one else could wear such a tiny shoe as hers was, he sent out a herald to proclaim that whichever lady in his kingdom could put on this glass slipper should be his wife.

28 All the great ladies who wished to be a Princess tried to put it on, but in vain. Cinderella's sisters tried, but could not get it on, and then Cinderella asked if she might try.

29 The Prince, who had thought the moment he saw her that the poor girl was very much like the beautiful Princess, was delighted and had Cinderella tell here story.

30 Then the Fairy godmother suddenly entered the room, and placing her godchild's hand in the Prince's, said: "Take this young girl for your wife, Prince; she is good and patient, and as she has known how to submit to injustice meekly, she will know how to reign justly."

31 So Cinderella was married to the Prince in great state, and they lived together very happily.
The END
