There was once a maid that lived in the kingdom of 

Evida . Her name was Cinderbella. When Cinderbella 

was young, her mother died of a heart attack. That 

summer, her father got married again. On their one 

year anniversary, the father died of an unknown cancer. 

Cinderbella’s Step-mother made Cinderbella do all the 

chores that you couldn’t even imagine.   She had to 

clean the Chimney, clean the horse stalls, pick the 

weeds, clean every room in the home every single day. 

She would clean them spotless and all of the sudden; it 

was filthy the next morning. Her step-mother and her 

three step-sisters, Lottie, Dotty and Kim, kept her busy. 

“Oh, Cinderbella! Would you be a dear and give 

the cat a bath?” the Step-mother called as 

Cinderbella was cleaning the chimney. 

    “Mother,” Cinderbella called back, “the cat is 

going to bite and scratch me!”

    “That is why you are doing it, my dear! And while 

you’re in there, you may as well take a bath too, 

you smell like a horse!” When Cinderella heard 

that she could get a bath she was ecstatic! She is 

never able to get a bath. It was rare occasions 

that she could get herself clean, like when she 

washes the pigs when they are about to be sold.

“Yes mother! Right away mother!” She ran up two 

flights of stairs to get the cat, Sylvester, in his 

normal spot. “It is pretty upsetting that a cat gets 

a better bed than me,” Cinderbella said to herself 

as she picked up the cat, only leaving seven 

scratches this time. She fled to the bathroom, set 

down the cat and shut the door so Sylvester 

couldn’t escape. She filled the bath with warm 

water and washed the cat quickly and effectively. 

She grabbed a towel and dried the cat clean. After 

the cat left the bath room, she used the same 

towel to wipe up the blood on her arms from the 

scratch and bite marks from Sylvester. 

After the blood was all dry, Cinderbella took off 

her rags that her step-mother gave to her, and 

stepped into the bath. The water was warm 

and she never wanted to get out. After ten 

minutes of sitting in the bath and getting 

clean, the step-mother called out “Cinderbella! 

You have been in their way too long! Dry up 

and get on your clothing, you have lots of work 

to do!” Cinderella stepped out and dried 

herself off with the same towel, put on her 

dirty clothes and walked out. 

“What now, mother?”

    “Help your sisters; they need help with their hair and 

clothing. Don’t leave any dirt in their room. Even better, 

after you help them, you will to clean their rooms!” 

    “Yes mother,” Cinderbella grunted as she walked up 

another flight of stairs. She went into Lottie’s room first. 

She was the brattiest of the sisters. She had to have 

everything right and her way. 

    “It’s about time you got here, Cinderbella! Who raised 

you, slugs?!” Lottie complained. Lottie’s complaints get on 

just about everybody’s nerves

    “Calm down, Lottie. I’m here now and now we can get 

you ready,” Cinderbella sighed as she brushed through 

Lottie’s thick curly hair. 

After she was done, she went to Dottie’s room. Dottie is very 

quiet, but when something isn’t right, she yells and needs to 

have it fixed. 

    “Good morning, Dottie,” Cinderella whispered, scared of getting 

on Dottie’s nerves. 

    “I would like my hair up today,” Dottie said, completely ignoring 

Cinderbella’s greeting.    Cinderbella got to work. Since Dottie’s 

hair is so straight, Cinderbella thought she would curl it for her 

too, make her look very nice for were ever she’s going. 

    “All done. Take a look!” Dottie looked in the mirror and her jaw 

dropped in shock. 

    “What did you do to my hair?”

    “Oh, you don’t like it?” Cinderbella asked, getting ready for the 

yelling and the screaming. 

    “I love it!” Dottie thanked her and Cinderbella went on her way 

to the third and final sister, Kim. 

“Can I come in, Kim?” Cinderbella asked as she knocked on the door. Kim was so 

nice to Cinderbella. She acted like an actual sister to her. 

    “Come on in Bella!” Kim chimed. Right away, Cinderbella got to work on her 

hair. Her hair was beautiful! It was dark brown and had the perfect waves. 

    “So what’s the occasion? Why is everyone so dressed up?”

    “Oh, you didn’t hear? The king is holding a ball, hoping the prince would fall in 

love with one special girl. All the girls in the kingdom were invited, weren’t you?”

    “No, I didn’t even know there was something going on in the castle or even the 

whole kingdom!” Cinderbella was in shock. Not because of that she wasn’t told, 

but that Kim didn’t tell her. After all, they meet each other every day, why 

wouldn’t she tell her?

    “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I should have! It’s just that I didn’t want mother 

getting mad at me or you. Will you ever forgive me?”

    “Yes,” Cinderbella sighed as she finished her sister’s hair. 

    “Now, I must go! We leaving in five minutes! Sorry again Bella!” Kim said as she 

rushed out of the door, leaving Cinderbella on the bed, silently weeping. 

As Cinderbella heard the door shut and the click-clack of the 

horse’s hooves, Cinderbella ran outside. She went to the 

garden and wept. She wept for what felt like hours. Until, 

beautiful light blue smoke just came out of nowhere. All of the 

sudden, there stood a strange woman with a stick. 

    “Tell me, dear Cinderbella, why are you weeping? I am your 

Fairy Godmother, I can help you, and you can trust me, dear 

child.”

    Cinderbella dried her tears and spoke to the strange 

woman, “I wish I could be anyone or anything else! I don’t 

want to be any old maid! I want to be acknowledged!”

    “Are you sure, my dear?” Cinderbella nodded her head yes. 

“Be careful what you wish for, child.” She suddenly waved her 

stick, hit Cinderbella on her head, and all Cinderbella could 

see, for a split second, was a flash of white light.
