Cerita dongen Cinderella dalam bahasa Inggris

1. Cinderella
Once upon a time, there lived an unhappy young girl with her stepmother and two step
sisters who didn't like her. All the nice things, kind thought and loving touches were for her
own daughters. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. For she had to work
hard all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near
the cinders. That is how she got her nickname, for everybody called her Cinderella.
It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face from the
cinders, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their
clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy, and ugly.
One day, a ball was to be held by the royal family of the kingdom to find the prince's
spouse. Cinderella's stepsisters ordered beautiful new dress for the ball. Cinderella wanted to go
to the ball but her stepmother asked her to stay at home.
"You? My dear girl, you're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floor and turn
down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy." asked her
stepmother.
Cinderella only nodded her head and began to work. Suddenly something amazing
happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by herself, there was a burst of light
and a fairy appeared.
"Don't be afraid Cinderella, I know what you feel, my dear. Do you want to go to ball?"
asked the fairy.
"Yes, I do. But look! How can I go to the ball with this dress? Cinderella replied.
Then the fairy turned Cinderella's dress became the most beautiful dress and with
beautiful slippers, the loveliest ever seen in the realm. The fairy also turned a pumpkin into a
parking coach and turned the mice become six white horses.
"Now, you can go to the Court and go to the ball. But remember my dear Cinderella,
you must leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is when the spell ends. Your
coach will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will become mice and you will be dressed
again in rags with clogs.
At the ballroom, Cinderella amazed everybody there include the prince. When the
prince set eyes on Cinderella, he was stuck by her beauty. Walking over to her, he bowed
deeply and asked her to dance. Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball. But, all of a sudden,
she heard the sound of a clock, the first stroke of midnight.

2. Remembered what the fairy had said, Cinderella ran back to the coach and went home.
But he lost one of her slippers in ballroom. The prince who was now madly in love with her,
picked up her slipper and would search for the girl whose foot fitted with the slipper.
In the next morning, the prince began to search everywhere in the kingdom but no girl
whose foot fitted with the slipper. Until he found Cinderella house and asked Cinderella's
stepsisters to wear the slipper. But none fitted with the slipper. The prince began hopeless.
"Is there any girl else here" Asked the prince.
"Yes, there are. But she is very ugly and I think she is not the girl that you are looking
for." replied Cinderella's stepmother.
"Call her here!" Asked the prince.
Then Cinderella's stepmother called Cinderella to come out who was dressed in rags
and wore clogs like usual. The prince began to wear the slipper into Cinderella foot, and it was
fit.
The prince believed that Cinderella was the girl he met in the ball. Then the prince
asked Cinderella to marry him. And at the end, Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever
after in the kingdom.
