My New Story of Cinderella
5D Katy Li


        Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl, Cinderella, whose mother died at a young age. Her father loved her very much. He married another woman but she was bad. She had two daughters and they were much worse than their mother. They treated Cinderella like their servant.

        One day, the prince held a ball. All young girls in the town were invited. Cinderella wanted to go so much but her stepmother did not let her go. Instead, Cinderella had to rush upstairs and downstairs to help the two sisters to fix their hair, put on their expensive dresses and arrange their jewels. Cinderella's mean stepsisters who did not want to let Cinderella go to the ball made her work all day. Cinderella was so sad that she ran to the garden and said, "Wishes never come true." Her tears dropped on a flower. Suddenly, a flower fairy appeared. She wanted to help Cinderella to go to the ball. With a wave of her wand, she made Cinderella look like a princess. Before leaving, the flower fairy said, "Never judge a book by its cover!"

        When all the girls entered the palace, Prince Harry casted a spell on himself. Now, he became an ugly beast. While the beast was standing on the stage to decide who he should dance with, all the girls were scared and ran away. "He's the ugliest person I have ever seen in the world! I don't want to dance with him!" yelled Cinderella's stepsisters. They didn't want to dance with the prince anymore except Cinderella. She remembered what the fairy said. She walked towards the stage and looked closely at the beast. However, she tripped over a cable and lost her balance. The beast ran towards her and held her up at once. Initially, she was scared of the beast but in a few seconds, she realized that the beast was kind and gentle. They were dancing happily. "Are you scared of my ugly face?" the beast asked. "You are beautiful to me. I don't care what others think. They're idiots for not seeing your character. I like you," she whispered. Suddenly, the ugly beast changed back into a handsome prince. Cinderella was extremely surprised. Prince Harry explained patiently that her sweet and gentle words had broken the spell that was casted on him.

        Prince Harry and Cinderella knew that they had found true love. They continued to dance happily. At last, they got married and lived happily ever after.
