Cinderella
🎧 Audio track
Once upon a time, in a land far away, lived a sweet girl named Cinderella. She had a kind heart but a hard life, serving her mean stepmother and two jealous stepsisters. They would demand, "Cinderella, clean the house!" and "Cinderella, make us dinner!" Yet, she never lost hope.
"Remember, at midnight the magic will end and your gown will return to rags. Be home before midnight" she warned.
But as the clock struck midnight, Cinderella said "I'm so sorry" and ran away before the magic ended. The prince asked, "But, at least tell me your name?" But, it was too late, and Cinderella was gone.
The prince was heartbroken. However, Cinderella had left behind one glass slipper.
Hundreds of girls desperately tried the slipper, every girl in the village, but it didn't fit any of them.
