Once upon a time there was a gentleman who lived in a lovely house with his charming wife and his beautiful daughter until one sad day the gentleman’s wife died. His new wife was neither kind nor pretty and she had two daughters who were known by everyone in the town as the ugly sisters. The ugly sisters hated their new stepsister. They were cruel to her and made her do all the housework. Her clothes soon became tattered and torn whilst the ugly sisters were dressed in the best clothes money could buy. At night the ugly sisters would sleep in the finest warm soft beds whilst their poor stepsister was forced to huddle by the fire in the kitchen to keep warm practically sitting in the ashes and cinders. One day the ugly sisters saw her asleep in the cinders and decided to call their new stepsister Cinderella.
The king and queen of the country had a son. One day they decided to hold a ball for the Prince in the hope that he might find the bride. Invitations were sent to every well-to-do household in the land. When an invitation arrived at Cinderella’s house the ugly sisters would hardly contain their delight. They immediately rushed out to buy new dresses and talked of nothing else but the ball. Those ugly sisters spent hours looking at themselves in the mirror. One said, “The Prince will fall in love with me for sure”. But the other ugly sister pushed her aside and gazing at herself adoringly said, “Don’t be silly. It’s me the Prince will fall madly in love with. Imagine, I shall soon be queen”. The only time they spoke to Cinderella was when they ordered her to fetch things for them.
