The story of Cinderella has been told in various forms and versions throughout history, with different authors and cultures contributing to its evolution. The most well-known version of the story is the French fairy tale “Cendrillon” by Charles Perrault, which was first published in 1697. This version introduced the elements of the fairy godmother, the glass slippers, and the pumpkin carriage. Another popular version of the story is the German “Aschenputtel” by the Brothers Grimm, which was first published in 1812. This version includes the magical help of a wishing tree and a golden shoe instead of a glass slipper. Over time, the story has been adapted and reimagined countless times in books, plays, films, and other forms of media.

 STEPSISTERS: You want to go to the ball?  You must be crazy!

CINDERELLA: Yes, I want to go to the ball.

NARRATOR: Cinderella works hard.  She starts making dresses for her Stepmother and her Stepsisters.  She doesn´t have time to make her dress.

STEPSISTERS: We are going to the ball!  We are going to the ball!

STEPMOTHER: If you don´t have a dress, you will not go to the ball.

NARRATOR: Cinderella starts to cry.

CINDERELLA: I don´t have a pretty dress.  I have an ugly dress.  I am not going to the ball.

STEPSISTERS: What a shame!  We have pretty dresses.  Good-bye!

NARRATOR: Suddenly, Cinderella sees a very beautiful woman.  It´s her Fairy Godmother.

FAIRY GODMOTHER: Now you have a pretty dress.

PRINCE: I want to dance with her.

NARRATOR: He walks to where she is, and says.

PRINCE: Do you want to dance with me?

CINDERELLA: Yes, I want to dance with you.

NARRATOR: And they danced all night.  Suddenly, Cinderella hears the clock strike.

CLOCK: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

CINDERELLA: I have to go!

NARRATOR: Cinderella runs and runs outside the palace, but she drops one of her shoes.  The prince runs after her, but he doesn´t see her.

PRINCE: Wait!  Wait!  What is your name?  Where do you live?  Wait!

NARRATOR: Then he picks up the shoe and says.

PRINCE: Where is she?  I don´t even know her name.  I don´t know anything about her.  I am very sad.

NARRATOR:  Next morning, when the prince wakes up, he says.

 PRINCE: I have to find my pretty lady.  I have her shoe!

NARRATOR: He goes to town and looks for her in every house there is.

PRINCE: Is the pretty lady here?

WOMAN 1: No, she is not, and I don´t know where she is.

NARRATOR:  The prince goes to another house, and another one, and another one. He doesn´t find her.  At last, he goes to Cinderella´s house.

PRINCE: Is the pretty lady here?

STEPMOTHER: Yes, she is.  That is my daughter´s shoe.  Daughter, come here.

STEPSISTER 1: Yes, Mother.

STEPMOTHER: Try on the shoe.

NARRATOR: Her very fat daughter tries to put on the shoe.

STEPSISTER 1: I can´t.  This shoe is too small, and my foot is fat.  It hurts!  This is not my shoe.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Cinderella is coming down the stairs and says.

CINDERELLA: That shoe is mine.

STEPSISTERS: Ha, ha, ha.  You’re silly!

CINDERELLA: Yes, that shoe is mine!  And I have the other one.

NARRATOR: Suddenly she appears with her pretty dress and looks very beautiful once again.

 PRINCE: I love you!   I love you!  Do you want to marry me?

CINDERELLA: Yes, I want to marry you.

NARRATOR: And now Cinderella and the Prince live happily in the palace.

Kindness, perseverance and a pure heart can overcome even the most difficult circumstances. Despite the cruelty of her stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella remains kind and gentle to all those around her, including the animals who become her loyal friends. Her inner beauty and goodness are ultimately rewarded when she is allowed to attend the royal ball and capture the heart of the prince. Even though she faces obstacles and setbacks along the way, Cinderella never gives up hope and continues to believe in the power of love and magic. The story teaches us that no matter how difficult our lives may be, we can find happiness and fulfillment by staying true to ourselves, remaining kind to others, and never losing faith in our dreams.
