He had loved his wife dearly, and so he was very unhappy. He resolved to marry again, for he hoped thus to find a mother for his little girl, and to be happy once more. But the second wife was proud and haughty, and she had two daughters by a former husband who were just like her. She hated her husbands child, because his daughter was so sweet and good that she made her own daughters seem very unpleasant and disagreeable. 　　So this wicked stepmother made the poor little girl live and work with the servants. She had to sleep in the garret , on a miserable straw bed, while her stepsisters had fine rooms, with handsome curtains at the windows, large comfortable beds, and long mirrors, in which to admire themselves. After her work was done, she sat in the kitchen among the cinders, and so she was called Cinderella. 　　It happened that the kings son gave a ball , and invited all persons of fashion in the country. He invited the two wicked sisters, but of course the kings son had never even heard of Cinderella. The sisters began at once to prepare for the ball and to plan their dresses. On the evening of the ball, Cinderella had to help them dress and arrange their hair. When they had departed in their carriage, Cinderella sat down in a corner, and began to cry. 　　Just then her godmother , who was a fairy, appeared. What is the matter, Cinderella? she asked. 　　I wish-I wish, sobbed poor Cinderella, and could not say another word. You wish to go to the ball, dont you? said the godmother. Well, be a good girl, and you shall go. She then ordered Cinderella to bring a pumpkin from the garden. Her godmother took out all the insides of the pumpkin, and left only the rind. Then she touched it with her wand , and the pumpkin instantly became a fine, gilded coach. She then looked into the mousetrap, and saw six lively mice in it. She told Cinderella to lift the door of the trap very gently, and as each mouse came out, she touched it with her wand. Instantly they became six handsome gray horses. Then Cinderella ran to the rat trap, and found three large rats. The godmother changed the largest of these into a position to ride on one of the horses. 　　Next, the fairy sent Cinderella into the garden to find six lizard . A touch of the magic wand turned them all into finely dressed footmen. Everything was ready, then, except Cinderellas dress. The poor child looked down at godmother a thousand times, and begged to go again to the ball the next night. As she talked, her sisters returned, and told her of the wonderful princess whose name nobody knew. The next day, the two sisters appeared again at the ball, and so did Cinderella. But she enjoyed herself so much that she forgot her godmothers warning. She was frightened when she counted twelve strokes of the clock, and she ran out of the room as fast as she could. The kings son tried to overtake her, and could not. But in her haste, Cinderella dropped one of the glass slippers. The kings son carefully picked it up. 　　Of course she had to run home in her rags. All that was left of her elegance was one glass slipper. Meantime, the prince tried in every way to find out the princesss name, and which way she went. But all in vain, for the guards at the gate had only seen a ragged girl run away. The kings son sat and looked at the slipper while the ball lasted, for he had fallen deeply in love with the unknown and beautiful princess. 　　A few days afterwards, people heard messengers proclaiming, The kings son will marry the lady whose foot exactly fits the glass slipper. First the messengers went to all the princesses, then to the lesser ladies of the court, but without success. When they came to the home of Cinderella, the two sisters tried to squeeze their feet into the slipper. Some say that one sister cut off her big toe, and that the other sister cut off her heel, so eager were they to wear the slipper, but it was all in vain. 　　Cinderella could not help smiling. Finally she said, Please let me try on the slipper. 　　The sisters said, That is foolish, but the messenger knelt down before her with the slipper. Everybody saw at once that it fitted her exactly. The two sisters were amazed, but their amazement was still greater when Cinderella drew the other slipper from her pocket, and put it on, too. Just at this moment, the fairy godmother arrived, touched Cinderellas clothes with her wand, and there she stood, more magnificently dressed than ever. 　　Then the sisters, of course, recognized her, and they threw themselves at her feet, and begged forgiveness for all their unkindness. Cinderella helped them to rise, kissed them, and forgave them. The messengers then led Cinderella to the prince, who f。
