CINDERELLA

Page 2: Tales_english

Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own

daughters. Nothing was too good for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort.

But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely

dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she

allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called her Cinderella.

Page 3: Tales_english

Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, . Miaow. , which really meant, . Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty.. It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy

and ugly and always would be.

One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters were

getting ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would

be: . You? You're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy.. Cinderella sighed, . Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!. and the cat murmured . Miaow..

Page 4: Tales_english

Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy

appeared. . Don't be alarmed, Cinderella,. said the fairy. . I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!. .

How can I, dressed in rags?. Cinderella replied. . The servants will turn me away!.

The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever

seen. . Now for your coach,. said the fairy; "A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!. . Oh of course,. said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy

turned to the cat. . You, bring me seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!.

Page 5: Tales_english

Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick of the

magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a

whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.

Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Prince. s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she

lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fled

and vanished into the night.

Page 6: Tales_english

The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be content until I

find her!”

So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left.

. That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball,. snapped the stepmother. . Tell the Prince he ought to marry one

of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly Cinderella is?. But, to everyone. s amazement, the shoe fitted perfectly.

Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with

youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, "Come with us

Cinderella! The Prince is waiting for you." So Cinderella married the Prince and lived happily ever. As for the cat, he just said

"Miaow!"

promises her that she wouldn't and sets off to her grandmother's place, which was put up in the forest, half an

hours walk from the village.

Page 18: Tales_english

When Little Red Riding Hood enters the forest, she comes across a wolf, who plans to eat her up. So when the wolf asks

her where she is off to, she answers him that she is on her way to see her grandmother, without suspecting the wolf. When the wolf asks her where her grandmother lives, Little Red

Riding Hood innocently answers that too.The wolf trots along with Little Red Riding Hood for sometime and tempts her to make a slow journey, asking her to enjoy

the scenery. Little Red Riding Hood leaves the path and starts picking flowers and as she does so, she goes deeper and

deeper into the forest. Meanwhile, the big bad wolf reaches grandmothers house and knocks the door. He enters the house

and gobbles Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. Then, he puts on the grandmothers clothes and night cap and lies down

in her bed.

and finds the front door wide open. She makes her way towards the bed, to see her grandmother looking very

strange."Grandmother, what big ears you have!" she asks."All the better to hear you with," the wolf replies.

"Grandmother, what big eyes you have!" she asks."All the better to see you with," the wolf replies.

"Grandmother, what big hands you have!" she asks."All the better to hold you with," the wolf replies.

"But grandmother, what big teeth you have!" she asks.

"All the better to eat you with," the wolf replies, and leaps out of the bed and swallows Little Red Riding Hood. After that, the wolf gets back to the bed and starts sleeping. After a while, a passing huntsman hears the loud snores and goes inside the

house, to find a wolf sleeping on the bed. He immediately cuts open the wolf's stomach with a pair of scissors. Little Red

Riding Hood pops out of the wolf's stomach, followed by her grandmother. They then fill the wolf's stomach with stones

and sew it. The wolf wakes up and tries to run, but falls down dead instead.

The grandmother drinks the wine and eats the cake and feels much better and the story ends with Little Red Riding Hood

promising her grandmother that she would never again leave the path when her mother has forbidden it.

These early variations of the tale differ from the currently known version in several ways. The wolf usually leaves the

grandmother’s blood and meat for the girl to eat. Unwittingly she did. Furthermore, the wolf was also known to ask her to remove her clothing and toss it into the fire.
