Long ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful young girl.
She was very sad. Her mother had died and her father had married again. His new wife had two ugly（ ʌɡli 挪威旅游景点 难看的、丑陋的）daughters, Esmerelda and Grilda.
Soon after, her father also died and life immediately changed for the girl.
"You will be our rvant 中成伟业（[sə:vdufuənt]仆人）, "said her stepmother. "You will do everything we say."
"You must sleep in the kitchens, by the fire," said the stepsisters.
After tending the fire, and cooking and leaning, the girl's clothes were very dirty. She was called to clear away dishes.太子十三峰
"There are cinders（煤渣，灰烬） all over your clothes!" exclaimed the stepmother. "Cinders for Cinderella. That's your new name. Clear the things away, Cinderella."
"Cinderella! Cinderella!" sang Esmerelda and Grilda. "Oh, how clever you are, Mama!"
Cinderella had to work very hard, as all the other rvants were dismisd.
One day, an invitation arrived from the palace.
"Girls, listen to this," said the stepmother. Cinderella was rving the breakfast. She listened as her stepmother read the invitation.
"The King is having a ball," she said, excitedly. "He is looking for a wife for the Prince! Oh, my dears, this is wonderful. He will probably choo one of you, but it will be such a hard choice to make.
"Am I invited too, stepmother?" asked Cinderella.
"You! Certainly not!" exclaimed her stepmother. "The thought of such a thing. A scruffy（破旧的，肮脏的） rvant going to a ball, when only beautiful ladies are invited!"
"Hah! Hah!" laughed the stepsisters. "Beautiful! That doesn't include you, Cinderella!"
"You may help my two lovely girls to get ready," said her stepmother.
"Oh," said Cinderella, sadly.
"We shall all have new dress, girls, and we shall go shopping today. Clear away the things, Cinderella."平凡中的伟大
'Oh, I wish I could go to the ball,' thought Cinderella.
The day of the ball arrived and the whole day was spent preparing Esmerelda and Grilda. Cinderella did her best to make the sisters look pretty, but it was an impossible task.
Finally, the coach arrived to collect the girls and their mother.
Cinderella was very tired and she wandered back to the kitchens.
"Oh, I did so want to go," she sighed as she sat down by the fire.
"What's to stop you?" asked a voice.
"Who's that?" asked Cinderella, looking around.
"I'm here by the door." A strange woman walked up to Cinderella. "I heard you the other day, wishing you could go to the ball. Well, the ball is this evening, and you're going."
"But how?" asked Cinderella. "What can you do?"
"Anything I want to," said the woman. "I'm your fairy godmother, and I'm here to nd you to the ball.

"Come now," she said. "Dry tho tears. We have work to do. I need a large pumpkin, two rats, two mice and a frog. Can you find the?"
"Yes," said Cinderella, mystified by the request.
"Off you go, then."
When Cinderella found all the things, her fairy godmother took them all outside.
"Now for the magic," she said. She waved her hands and the air began to twinkle and sparkle. The pumpkin began to grow and change, until standing there was a glittering（闪闪发光的） coach.销售培训讲师
The mice changed into two fine footmen, the frog into the driver, and the rats into two beautiful hors to pull the coach.
Cinderella clapped her hands. "It's beautiful!" she cried.
"In you get," said her fairy godmother.
"But I can't go like this," said Cinderella.
"Like what?" asked the fairy godmother. "You look lovely to me."

"Oh, fairy godmother," said Cinderella. "It's lovely. How can I thank you?"
"By going to the ball," said the fairy godmother. "Off you go, but remember, the magic stops working at midnight. Everything will change back then. Now go and enjoy yourlf."
"Good-bye, fairy godmother," called Cinderella, as the coach swept off.
Cinderella arrived at the palace and walked into the ballroom. Everyone stopped and stared.
"Who is she?" people asked, including her stepmother and stepsisters.
