Once upon a time there was a kind and beautiful girl, whose name was Cindrella. She lived with her cruel stepmother and stepsister where she was treated as a servant and spent her days cleaning.

Despite their cruelty, Cindrella would always remember her mother's words: Havecourage and be kind!

One day an invitation to a royal ball arrived. The prince was looking for a bride and everyone in the kingdom was invited.

Her stepmother immediately ordered new gowns to be made for herself and her daughters. Cinderella worked day and night to prepare the new dresses in time.

On the day of the ball, as they were preparing to leave Cinderella came down the stairs in a dress she had made for herself. Her stepmother and stepsister were so angry to see her looking so beautiful they tore up the dress and left without her.

Left alone, Cinderella began to cry. Suddenly her fairy Godmother appeared. "Don't cry my child, you shall go to the ball." she said
