No Doubt They Would Be The One To Win The Favor of The Prince!
“Did you hear that?” One stepsister rolled back with laughter.
"Cinderella, going to the ball?"
“Looking like THAT?" Her stepsisters roared with laughter. "They'd
never let that mess in the front door!"
Cinderella thought to herself, “I may look like a mess but I am not a mess,
not really, And if I could, I WOULD go to the ball.”
Soon the big day came. Poufed and pampered, the stepmother and
stepsisters were ready to leave for the big night.
Part 2: The Big Party
A fine carriage arrived to pick them up. The stepmother and stepsisters
hopped inside.
“Good-bye!” called Cinderella. “Have a good time!” But the stepmother
and stepsisters did not turn to respond. The carriage door shut and off
they were, in a cloud of dust.
“Ah!” groaned Cinderella as the carriage clip-clopped down the
cobblestone street. “If only there was a way for me to go to the ball, too!”
Then - Poof! All of a sudden, in front of her stood a fairy.
“You called?” said the Fairy.
“I did?” said Cinderella. “Who are you?”
“Your Fairy Godmother, of course! I know what you wish, and I have
come to grant it.”
“But…” said Cinderella, “my wish is impossible.”
“Excuse me!” said the Fairy Godmother in a huff. “Did I not just show up
out of thin air?”
“I suppose you did,” said Cinderella.
At once, Cinderella was perfectly clean. What's more, she was dressed in
a beautiful blue gown! Her hair was set up high on her head in a golden
band.
“This is amazing!” said Cinderella.
“Who said I was done?” said the Fairy Godmother. She tapped her wand
again. At once, a beautiful carriage came to be, with a driver and four
white horses.
“Am I dreaming?” said Cinderella, looking around her in astonishment.
“It's as real as real can be,” said the Fairy Godmother. “But there is one
thing you must know.”
“What is that?”
“The magic lasts only to midnight. At the stroke of midnight, it will be
over. Everything will go back to how it was before.”
“Then I must be sure to leave the ball before midnight,” said Cinderella.
“Smart cookie,” said the Fairy Godmother. She stepped back. “My work
here is done.” In a puff of smoke, the Fairy Godmother was gone.
Cinderella looked around. "Did that even happen?" But there she was in
a fine gown, with a golden band in her hair. And there were her driver
and four horses.
“Coming?” called the driver.
"I suppose it did," said Cinderella. She stepped into the carriage, and
they were off.
“Many things are possible,” said Cinderella, “if you wish them to be true.”
"Do you really believe that?" said the Prince.
"I know it," said Cinderella.
The Prince felt a leap in his heart. He and Cinderella danced. When the
song was over, they danced again. And then again. All the time they were
talking and laughing. Soon the other maidens at the ball grew
jealous. “Why is he staying dance after dance with HER?” they said. “Give
someone else a chance. How rude!”
But all the Prince wanted to do was to stay with Cinderella. In fact, they
danced so long that Cinderella did not see the clock.
He looked around but could not see her blue dress anywhere. “This is all
I have left from her,” he said, looking down forlornly at the glass
slipper. He noticed that it was made in a special way, to fit a foot like
none other. “Somewhere that young maiden has the other glass slipper,”
he said. “I will find her, and when I do, I will ask her to be my bride!”
“Hush!” hissed the stepmother. “He'll hear you! Now get ready. One of
you must fit your foot in that slipper, no matter what it takes!” The
stepmother swirled around to face Cinderella. "Get out of my sight," she
glowered, "Go to your room right now and stay there!"
The Prince knocked. The stepmother flew open the door. “Come in!” she
said in a sweet, sultry voice. “I have two lovely daughters you must see.”
The first stepsister tried to fit her foot in the glass slipper.
As hard as she tried, her foot could not squeeze in. The second step-sister
tried to fit her foot inside, but no dice. And neither of them had the other
glass slipper.
“Are there any other young women in the house?” said the Prince.
“None,” said the stepmother.
“Then I will take my leave,” said the Prince.
“Maybe there is one more,” said Cinderella, stepping into the room.
“I thought you said there were no other young women here,” said the
Prince.
“None who matter!” seethed the stepmother.
“Come here,” said the Prince warmly.
Cinderella stepped up to him. The Prince got down on one knee and
tried the glass slipper on her foot.
It fit perfectly! "Well, I suppose I have the pair back again," said
Cinderella. And from her pocket she took out the other glass slipper!
“I knew it!” he cried. “You are the one!”
“WHAT?” shouted a stepsister.
“Not HER!” screamed the other stepsister.
“This cannot BE!” shrieked the stepmother.
But it was too late. The prince looked into her eyes. He knew that this
young woman was the very same one he had met and danced with, and
loved talking to. He did not see the cinders in her hair or the ashes on
her face.
“I have found you!” he said.
“And I have found you,” said Cinderella.
And so Cinderella and the Prince were married, and they lived happily
ever after.

I learned that it is not good to do bad things to others and if you do, bad will come back to you.
And to care about others, you should be kind to people and not do what you don’t want others to
1. We should be nice to others because when we do bad things to others, bad will come back to us.
2. We should not make people suffer and make fun of them because at the end it will be your turn.

Basically the moral of Cinderella is: people should always fight for what they want with a good
heart and hard work. And wickedness and envy will lead to negative consequences, whereas
perseverance will lead to a happy ending. And no matter what your situation is, don’t give up on
your dreams.

In one of my classes, there is a class called Discovery Aces. We are learning about Theme. To
answer “Say what you think the story is trying to show you….” I think, the theme is “Don’t doubt
yourself even when others doubt you.” I thought this story was a very good thing and I liked the
pictures but sometimes they looked really different. Me and my teacher were having a lot of fun

(1) Cinderella let her stepsisters be mean to her because later on in life she will have better than
her stepsisters. Also, she will know that once she meets or has someone in her life who loves her,
she can get back at them because she married the prince and now her stepmother and sister can
be her maids or whatever she wants to call it. Next, she got to dance with the prince and her
(2) I pick the stepsisters if I was them and rude to Cinderella, I would feel bad, mad and sad. Bad
is for why have I been rude to her? She could grow up more than me and marry someone better
and I may or may not marry someone. I would feel mad because I wouldn’t get to dance with the
prince and have a better life than her. And I’d feel sad because I was rude and for other reasons.

Question 3— Say what you think the story is trying to show you.
Question 1: I would imagine Cinderella realized her position. Although her step-family mistreated
her greatly, they were still her family and some small part of her cared for them. Cinderella was a
Baron’s daughter. She could’ve easily written to the constable about the mistreatment and fought
for the rights of her title. But Cinderella had a spirit of forbearance. She was kind and had a good
heart. Maybe she knew the realities of those in that era who found themselves in a pitiable state.

Question 1 : Cinderella starts the story as a Housemaid to her stepmother and stepsisters while
they go and boss her around. But Cinderella stills hopes to go to the ball with the Prince and
continues to hope despite being bossed around by her stepmother and stepsisters. Then she
eventually does meet her magic fairy after her stepmother denies her request to go to the festival.
The Magic fairy dresses her up and takes her to the festival as a princess but tells her to be back
before midnight. She forgets about midnight and rushes home while her prince does a kingdom-
wide search. He eventually finds Cinderella and buts her magic slipper on and they get married
Question 2 : I think one of the themes of the story is to be hopeful, yet still try. In the story
Cinderella is rugged and Dirty and has abusive parental units and sisters who are tormenting her,
yet she still hopes and tries to go the the festival. She kept on hoping and eventually she did get to
the ball but she didn’t get their without some help and without trying and hoping.

Que 1
Cinderella is good and kind but she’s in a situation where these character traits would not
normally flourish. She has to work hard at menial tasks, she’s forced to wear tattered clothing,
and she is cut off from a support network and isolated in the attic. She should be miserable and
lonely.
Que2

the Nashville Children’s Theatre’s version of Cinderella presented me with ideas I had never
