life, Cinderella remained kind and gentle.
One day, the king announced a grand ball at the palace. All the young ladies in the kingdom were
invited, including Cinderella's stepsisters. Cinderella longed to go to the ball, but her stepmother
forbade her from attending.
As Cinderella sat alone and sad, her fairy godmother appeared. With a wave of her wand, she
transformed Cinderella's rags into a beautiful gown, and her old shoes into glass slippers. She
warned Cinderella that the magic would only last until midnight.
At the ball, Cinderella captivated everyone with her beauty and grace. The prince was enchanted by
her and danced with her all night. They were so lost in each other's company that Cinderella forgot
