5B Channing Leung


        Long time ago, a girl named Cinderella was born in a perfect family. Her mother told her about fairy godmothers, fairies, genies etc.. One day, while Cinderella's mother was going to work, she got into a car crash. Cinderella and her father felt really gloomy. As Cinderella's father didn't want her daughter to be that upset, so he married a woman who had two daughters. However, the woman and her daughters were really evil, so it didn't bring Cinderella a joyful family. One day, Cinderella's father found out that he had cancer. Even worse was that, the doctors didn't know how to cure him, so soon Cinderella's father died too, leaving Cinderella to the stepmother and the stepsisters. Her stepmother and stepsisters were over the moon as they could finally make Cinderella their servant! After being their servant, Cinderella prayed every day for help.

        One day, a poolside party was held for the prince as it was his birthday. He invited all the young girls in town to join his party. The stepsisters were really excited and so did Cinderella. It was almost the day of the party, Cinderella made herself a swimsuit. After that, Cinderella dashed to the kitchen to make dinner. While Cinderella was busy making dinner, her stepmother stole her swimsuit. When Cinderella came back, she could not find her swimsuit. She was very nervous. Then she thought, "Am I going to have enough time to make a new swimsuit? "Luckily, the next day, which was the party day, she managed to make a new one for herself! Cinderella wore her swimsuit and went downstairs to go to the party with her stepmother and stepsisters. However, her stepmother did not let her go. Her stepsisters also made her work all day. Cinderella felt really upset.

        While Cinderella was working, she cried and cried. At ten o'clock, while she was cleaning the backyard, a tiny fairy came. The fairy was all in blue, and she had a ponytail with flowers on top. When Cinderella saw the fairy, she couldn't believe her eyes, a fairy in the legends was in front of her. She was very shocked, she thought that she was in a dream, so she punched herself to make sure she was not asleep! The fairy comforted her, "Don't be sad, Cinderella. Let me help you make a beautiful and sexy swimsuit." The fairy took out a blue wand which was made of ice. She waved her wand from side to side. Then Cinderella was wearing a gorgeous swimming gear. Cinderella was over the moon! The fairy reminded Cinderella, "Remember, you must not faint or else the spell will break." Cinderella knew that there was no way she would faint, so she wandered merrily to the castle to join the poolside party.

        When Cinderella got to the castle, she quickly jumped into the pool. When Prince Jake saw Cinderella, he quickly fell in love with her. Prince Jake hopped into the pool and played with Cinderella.

        Out of the blue, a bolt of lightning shot towards the pool. Everyone except Cinderella jumped out of the pool just in time. Cinderella got an electrical shot and fainted. Cinderella turned back to ragged clothes. Prince Jake was very shocked and hated Cinderella.

        The fairy who helped Cinderella was very angry and punished Prince Jake. The fairy took away all his money and now Prince Jake became poor. Another prince, Prince John, fell in love with Cinderella. Cinderella was very nice to Prince John and they became the king and queen in that country. Prince Jake regretted what he did. Queen Cinderella and King John lived happily ever after.

        The moral of the story is that we should not judge a person by her or his appearance.
