My prince is waiting for me! But Cinderella didn’t mind. Everyday, she would wake up and look out her bedroom window and see the royal castle where the prince lived. She knew the day would arrive soon when the prince would come and claim her from her dreaded house.

Suddenly, a bright light emerged from the darkness and a magic fairy appeared. She was Cinderella’s fairy godmother, and would grant Cinderella any wish her heart desired. Cinderella said, “Please help me get to the ball. The prince is awaiting my arrival. I would hate to break his heart by not attending.” The fairy godmother waved her wand and Cinderella was suddenly wearing an elegant gown. The fairy then turned a giant pumpkin and four field mice into a carriage and horses. “Just be careful, the spell will end at midnight,” the fairy godmother said as she sent Cinderella on her way.

When Cinderella got to the ball, she immediately sought out the prince When Cinderella got to the ball, she immediately sought out the prince. After finding him, she continued to follow him throughout the night. The prince tried to politely excuse himself, but Cinderella assumed that it was because he didn’t want anyone to know about their forbidden romance. As midnight drew closer, Cinderella finally took off one of her glass slippers and gave it to the prince, saying “Keep this as a reminder of our love.

After finding out that Cinderella had attended the ball and harassed the poor prince, her stepmother decided it was finally time for Cinderella to get some help.
