Cinderella

Narrative Fairy Tales Cinderella Story

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived
with her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They
treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the
hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the
pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step
sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother
gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the
kings son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about
this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At
last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it.
Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.
Why are crying, Cinderella? a voice asked. She looked up and saw
her fairy godmother standing beside her, because I want so much to

go to the ball said Cinderella. Well said the godmother,youve

been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going
to see that you do go to the ball.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach
and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped
Cinderellas raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball
gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. Now,
Cinderella, she said; You must leave before midnight. Then away
she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the kings son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve,
she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of
her glass slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king son proclaimed that he would marry the girl
whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper
but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their
toes into it. In the end, the kings page let Cinderella try on the slipper.
She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted
perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The kings son was overjoyed to
see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

The Goose and The Golden Eggs

Once a farmer went to the nest of his goose and found there an egg,
all yellow and shiny. When he picked it up, it was heavy as a rock. 1
He was about to throw it away because he thought that someone was
playing a trick on him. 2 But on second thought, he took it home, and
discovered to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold!
He sold the egg for a lot of money. Every morning the goose laid
another golden egg, and the farmer soon became rich by selling the
eggs.
As he grew rich, he also grew greedy. 6 Why should I have to wait to

get only one egg a day? he thought. I will cut open the goose and
take all the eggs out of her at once.
When the goose heard the farmers plan, she fl ew away to a nearby
farm. So when the farmer came out the next day, do you know what
he found in the gooses nest? 8 Nothing.
Moral: Someone who wants more often loses all. When you want
something, be patient. If you are greedy, you might lose what you
already have.

A Fox and A Cat

One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was
a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at
least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the
dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should
teach me some of yours!'

'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few
of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The
barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their
direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its
branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you
about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred
tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should
use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell
upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
Moral : A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful
plans.
