CINDERELLA
(Sumber : Disney Princess, Pic.: wikipedia)
1. Once upon a
time, there was a kind girl named Cinderella.
2. All of the
animals loved her, especially two mice named Gus and Jaq. They'd do anything
for the girl they called Cinderelly.
Cinderella
lived with her stepmother and her two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.
They were
very mean to Cinderella, making her work all day cleaning, sewing, and cooking.
She tried her best to make them happy.
3. Cinderella's
stepmother, Lady Tremaine, was cold, cruel, and jealous of Cinderella’s charm
and beauty.
She enjoyed
giving Cinderella extra chores to do, such as bathing her cat, Lucifer.
4. One day, a
messenger arrived with a special invitation. There was going to be a royal ball
at the palace!
The King
wanted his son to find a bride. Every young woman in the kingdom was
invited—including Cinderella!
5. Cinderella
was very excited about the ball. In the attic, she found a dress that had
belonged to her mother.
It was a bit
old-fashioned, but Cinderella could make it beautiful!
6. Lady
Tremaine didn't want Cinderella to go to the ball. She wanted the Prince to
meet Anastasia and Drizella. Maybe he would marry one of them!
Lady
Tremaine kept Cinderella busy with chores that would take her all night to
finish.
7. While
Cinderella was working, the mice and birds fixed her dress. They added ribbons
and beads that the two stepsisters had thrown away.
Working
together, the animals turned a simple dress into a fabulous gown!
8. Cinderella
was overjoyed when she saw the dress. Now she could go to the ball!
"Oh,
thank you so much!" Cinderella said to Gus, Jaq, and the birds.
9. When the
stepsisters saw their old ribbons and beads on Cinderella's dress, they flew
into a rage.
They ripped
the dress and pulled off the beads. Lady Tremaine didn't stop them.
Cinderella's dream of going to the ball was through.
10. Cinderella
ran away to the garden to cry. Suddenly, her fairy godmother appeared.
With a wave
of her wand, she turned a pumpkin into an elegant coach. Cinderella could now
go to the ball, but her dress was still ruined.
11. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"
said the Fairy Godmother, waving her wand again. Cinderella was now wearing a
beautiful gown and sparkling glass slippers.
But all of
this came with a warning: When the clock struck midnight, the magic spell would
wear off!
12. At the ball,
Prince Charming couldn't take his eyes off Cinderella.
The
orchestra played, and the Prince began to dance with the wonderful girl whose
name he still didn't know. For Cinderella, the night was a dream come true.
13. Before too
long, the clock began to strike midnight. "Good-bye!" Cinderella
said, hurrying away.
"Come
back!" called the Prince. "I don't even know your name!" As
Cinderella fled, one of her glass slippers came off.
14. The Prince
sent the Grand Duke to find the girl who fit the glass slipper. Lady Tremaine
locked Cinderella in the attic, but Cinderella's mouse friends freed her.
Then Lady
Tremaine tripped the Grand Duke, and the glass slipper shattered . . . but
Cinderella had the other in her pocket. And it fit!
15. Cinderella
and the Prince were soon married. Everyone rejoiced, including Cinderella's
mouse friends, who wore special outfits to the wedding.
Filled with
joy, Prince Charming and Cinderella lived happily ever after.
