v Cinderella

Once upon a time, there was a rich man's wife who was seriously ill. Before she died, she called her only daughter to her side and said, "Dear daughter, mom will protect you and bless you in the grave after she goes." Then she closed her eyes and died.

She was buried in the garden. The little girl is a pious and kind girl. She goes to her mother's grave every day to cry

. Winter came, and the heavy snow covered her mother's grave with a white blanket. When the spring breeze blows, the sun removes the silver < P > from the grave. When winter went and spring came, people changed, and his father married another wife.

The new wife came to settle down with her two former daughters. They are beautiful in appearance, but very ugly and evil inside. When they arrived, it was the beginning of the poor little girl's suffering. They said, "Why do you want such a useless

git in the hall? Whoever wants to eat bread has to earn it himself and go to the kitchen to be a kitchen maid

! " Then he took off her beautiful clothes, put on her old gray coat, laughed at her like a prank and drove her to the kitchen. She was forced to do hard work. Get up before dawn every day to fetch water, make a fire, cook and wash clothes, and < P > endure their sisters' indifference and torture. At night, when she was exhausted, she didn't even have a bed to sleep in, so she had to sleep in the ashes beside the stove. As a result, she was covered with ashes, dirty and ugly. For this reason, she was called Cinderella.

once, my father was going to the market. He asked his wife's two daughters what he wanted to bring them back. The first one said,

"I want beautiful clothes." The second one cried, "I want pearls and diamonds." He said to his daughter, "Son, < P > what do you want?" Cinderella said, "Dear Dad, just give me the first branch that touched your hat on your way home." When my father came back, he brought back beautiful clothes and pearls and diamonds for his first two daughters. On the way, when he was walking through a dense undergrowth, a hazel branch touched him and almost swept off his hat, so he

broke it off and took it with him. When he got home, he gave the branch to his daughter. She took the branch to her mother's grave and planted it at the grave. She goes to the grave to cry three times a day. Every time she cries sadly, tears will keep dripping on the branch and watering it, making the branch grow into a beautiful tree quickly. Soon, a bird came to build a nest in the tree.

She talked with the bird. Later, whatever she wanted, birds would bring it to her.

In order to choose a fiancee for his son, the king is going to hold a grand banquet for three days, and invited many beautiful girls to attend. The prince is going to choose one of these girls to be his bride. Cinderella's two

sisters were also invited to attend. They called her and said, "Now let's comb our hair, polish our shoes and fasten our belts. We are going to the king's ball." After dressing them up as they asked, she couldn't help crying

because she wanted to go to the dance herself. She begged her stepmother to let her go, but her stepmother said, "ouch!" Miss Grey, do you want to go? What are you wearing? You don't even have a dress, and you can't even dance. What kind of dance do you want to go to? " Cinderella kept begging, and in order to get rid of her entanglement, her stepmother finally said, "I'll pour this bowl of peas into the ashes. If you pick them all out in two hours, you can go to the party." Say that finish, she will be a

bowl of peas into the ashes, and roared off. Cinderella had no choice but to run out of the back door and come to the garden and shout:

"Pigeons and turtledoves flying across the sky,

come on! Fly here!

Happy birds friends,

Come on! Fly here quickly!

Come and help me, everyone.

Pick out the peas in the ash quickly! "

Two white doves came in from the kitchen window first, followed by two turtledoves, and then all the little birds in the sky fluttered their wings and flew to the ashes. The little white dove lowered her head and began to pick it up among the ashes, one by one

, and kept picking it up! Other birds began to pick, one by one, and kept picking! They picked all the good beans seeds

out of the ashes and put them on a plate, which took only one hour to finish. After she thanked them, the birds flew away from the window. With excitement, she went to her stepmother with a plate, thinking that she could go to the dance banquet. But she

said, "No, no! You sloppy girl, you don't have a dress, you can't dance, you can't go. " Cinderella begged her to let her go. The stepmother said this time, "If you can

sort out these two dishes of peas from the ashes within an hour, you can go." She thought she could get rid of Cinderella this time, and then poured two dishes of peas into the ash pile, stirred them for a while, and then left triumphantly. But the little girl ran to the garden behind the house and shouted as before:

"Pigeons and turtledoves flying across the sky,

come on! Fly here!

Happy birds friends,

Come on! Fly here quickly!

Come and help me, everyone.

Pick out the peas in the ash quickly! "

Two white doves came in from the kitchen window first, followed by two turtledoves, and then all the little birds in the sky fluttered their wings and flew to the ashes. The little white dove lowered her head and began to pick it up among the ashes, one by one

, and kept picking it up! Other birds began to pick, one by one, and kept picking! They

picked all the good beans seeds out of the ashes and put them on the plate. This time, it only took half an hour to pick them up. After the birds flew away, Cinderella went to her stepmother with a

plate. She was so excited that she thought she could go to the dance. But the stepmother said, "Forget it!"! Don't waste your time, you can't go. You don't have a dress, you can't dance, you will only embarrass us. " Then

The couple and her own two daughters set off for a party.

Now, everyone in the family has left, leaving Cinderella sitting under the hazel tree and crying sadly:

"Hazel tree! Please help me,

please shake it,

shake off a whole set of gold and silver dresses for me. "

Her friend Bird flew out of the tree and brought her a dress made of gold and silver and a pair of shiny silk dancing shoes. After dressing up and putting on the dress, Cinderella came to the ballroom after her two sisters. After putting on the luxurious dress, she looks so elegant, beautiful and touching. They didn't recognize her and thought that she must be a strange princess.

They didn't think that she was Cinderella at all. They thought that Cinderella was still honestly staying in the ashes at home.

When the prince saw her, he quickly came up to her, put his arm around her and asked her to dance. He never dances with other girls again, and his hand never lets go of her. Whenever someone asks her to dance, the prince always says, "This lady is dancing with me." They danced late together, and she remembered to go home. The prince wanted to know where the beautiful girl lived, so he said, "Let me take you home." Cinderella apparently agreed, but when he wasn't looking, she slipped away quietly and ran home. The prince ran after her, so she had to jump into the pigeon house and close the door. The prince waited outside

and refused to leave. It was not until her father came home that the prince came forward and told him that the girl whose name he met at the dance was hidden in the pigeon house. When they broke down the pigeon's door, it was empty, so he had to go back to the palace in disappointment. When her parents came into the house, Cinderella was already lying on the edge of the ash heap in untidy clothes, as if she had been lying there all the time. The dim little oil lamp was shaking in the hole in the wall on the chimney post. In fact, Cinderella just passed through the pigeon house and came to the hazel

tree, took off her beautiful dresses, put them back on the tree and let the birds take them away. She went back to the house and sat on the ashes

and put on her gray coat.

The next day, when the dance was about to start again, her father, stepmother and two sisters all went. Cinderella came to the tree and said,

"Hazelnut tree! Please help me,

please shake it,

shake off a whole set of gold and silver dresses for me. "

Here comes the little bird. It brings a more beautiful dress than the one she wore the day before. When she came to the dance hall, her beauty surprised everyone. The prince, who had been waiting for her arrival, immediately stepped forward and took her hand and asked her to dance. Whenever someone asks her to dance, he always says the same as the day before, "This lady is dancing with me." At midnight, when she wanted to go home, the prince followed her like the day before, thinking that he could see which house she had entered. But she dumped him and immediately jumped into the garden behind her father's house. There is a beautiful big pear tree in the garden, which is full of ripe pears. Cinderella didn't know where she should hide, so she had to climb the tree. The prince didn't

see her. He didn't know where she had gone, so he had to wait until her father came back, and then he went up to him and said, "The unknown girl who danced with me has slipped away. I think she must have jumped into a pear tree." Father thought to himself, "Is it the grey girl?" So he sent for an axe and cut down the tree. There was no one on the tree. Cinderella was lying in the ashes as usual when her father and stepmother came to the kitchen to look at it. It turned out that after she jumped into the pear tree, she slipped down from the other side of the tree, took off her beautiful dress, let the birds on the hazel tree take it back, and then put on her own little gray coat.

On the third day, when her father, stepmother and two sisters left, she came to the garden again and said,

"Hazelnut tree! Please help me,

please shake it,

shake off a whole set of gold and silver dresses for me. "

Her kind friend brought a more beautiful dress and a pair of pure gold dancing shoes than the next day. When she

arrived at the dance, everyone was stunned by her beauty beyond words. The prince only dances with her. Every time

someone asks her to dance, he always says, "This lady is my partner." When midnight came, she was going back to

' s house, and the prince wanted to send her back again, and secretly said, "I can't let her run away this time." However, Cinderella managed to slip away from him. Because she left in such a hurry, she left her left golden dancing shoes on the stairs.

The prince picked up his dancing shoes and came to his king's father the next day and said, "I want to marry the girl who can just wear these golden dancing shoes." Cinderella's two sisters were very happy after hearing the news, because they both had beautiful feet, and they thought there was no doubt that they would wear that dancing shoe. My sister, accompanied by her mother, went to the house to try on the < P > dancing shoes, but her big toe couldn't fit in. The shoes were too small for her. So her mother brought her a knife and said,

"Never mind, cut off your big toe! As long as you're queen, you don't care what this toe does. You don't need your feet to go anywhere. " When the eldest daughter heard this, she felt that it was reasonable. The silly girl endured the pain and cut off her big toe, and reluctantly < P > put it on her feet and came to the prince's face. Seeing that she had put on her shoes, the prince took her as a bride, rode side by side with her and took her away.

But on their way back to the palace, when they passed the hazel tree planted by Cinderella in the back garden, a small

pigeon stopped on the branch and sang:

"Go back again! Go back!

look at that shoe!

The shoes are too small to be made for her!

prince! Prince!

Find your bride again,

It's not your bride sitting next to you! "

When the prince heard this, he dismounted and stared at her feet. He found that blood was flowing out of her shoes. He knew that he had been cheated.

He immediately turned his horse's head and took the fake bride home and said, "This is not a real bride. Let another sister try this shoe.

" So my sister tried to put the shoes on her feet and went in front of them, but the heels were too big to fit in. Her

mother asked her to cut off her heel and put it on, and then dragged her to the prince. Seeing that she had put on her shoes, the prince took her as the bride, helped her onto the horse, and sat side by side and left.

But when they passed the hazel tree, the little pigeon still perched on the head of the branch and sang,

"Go back again! Go back!

look at that shoe!

The shoes are too small to be made for her!

prince! Prince!

Find your bride again,

It's not your bride sitting next to you! "

The prince looked down and found that blood was flowing from her dancing shoes, even her white stockings were red. He turned the horse's head and sent her back as usual, saying to her father, "This is not the real bride. Do you have a daughter?" "My father replied," There is no < P >, only a little sloppy daughter named Cinderella born by my ex-wife. She can't be the bride's. " However, the prince must

bring her to have a try. Cinderella washed her face and hands first, and then came in and bowed to the prince politely. Wang

gave her dancing shoes to wear, and the shoes were worn on her feet as if they were specially made for her. He went up to see her face carefully, recognized her, and immediately said excitedly, "This is my real bride." Stepmother and her two sisters were surprised. When the prince helped Cinderella onto the horse, they turned pale with anger and watched the prince take her away. When they

came to the hazel tree, the little white dove sang,

"Go home! Go home!

look at that shoe!

princess! These shoes are made for you!

prince! Prince!

hurry.
