There is a beautiful girl. Her name is Ella. She lives with a wicked stepmother. And she lives with two ugly stepsisters, too. Every day they yell, "Ella, clean the house! Make us breakfast!"

Ella is cleaning the house. She is cleaning the fireplace. "Look at her," laughs one of her sisters. "She is very dirty from the cinders." “Right, Let's call her Cinderella." says the other sister.

One day a letter arrives from the Prince. There will be a big party at the palace. Everyone wants to go. "Can I go?" asks Cinderella. "No! You're too ugly and dirty!" says her mother.

"We need new dresses, Cinderella!" her sisters yell.

Cinderella's sisters are at the party. They are wearing new dresses. Cinderella is not at the party. She is wearing an old dirty dress.
