Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella. She was a kind, honest, and sweet person. She was beautiful on the inside, which made her beautiful on the outside too.

Cinderella’s mother died when she was a very small girl, and so her father had remarried. Cinderella’s stepmother was a horrible, mean person. Cinderella and her father had to go and live with her in her old, dusty house.
