(f01) The Cinderella Story

(fs01) Once upon a time there was a girl called Cinderella.
(fs02) But everyone called her Cinders.
(fs03) Cinders lived with her mother and two stepsisters called Lily and Rosa.
(fs04) Lily and Rosa were very unfriendly and they were lazy girls.
(fs05) They spent all their time buying new clothes and going to parties.
(fs06) Poor Cinders had to wear all their old hand-me-downs!
(fs07) And she had to do the cleaning!
(fs08) One day, a royal messenger came to announce a ball.
(fs09) The ball would be held at the Royal Palace, in honour of the Queen's only son, Prince William.
(fs10) Lily and Rosa thought this was divine.
(fs11) Prince William was gorgeous, and he was looking for a bride!
(fs12) They dreamed of wedding bells!
(fs13) When the evening of the ball arrived, Cinders had to help her sisters get ready.
(fs14) They were in a bad mood.
(fs15) They'd wanted to buy some new gowns, but their mother said that they had enough gowns.
(fs16) So they started shouting at Cinders.
(fs17) "Find my jewels!" yelled one.
(fs18) "Find my hat!" howled the other.
(fs19) They wanted hairbrushes, hairpins and hair spray.
