__A summary of Cinderella__

Once there was a poor girl who was living with her step-mother and her two step-sisters. They were mean to her. One day a message came from the castle asking for all unmarried women to come to a ball. Cinderella's sisters and mother planned to go. When Cinderella asked to go she was told no. After everyone left, Cinderella was visited by her fairy godmother. Her fairy godmother made her look great, gave her a ride, and sent her off to the ball. Her only caution was that she had to be home by midnight. At the ball, Cinderella and the prince danced for hours. However, as the clock struck midnight Cinderella realized it was time to go and swiftly left, leaving only her shoe. The prince never found out her name. He did find her shoe and spent quite sometime looking for the girl that fit the glass slipper. When he finally found Cinderella, he married her. They lived happily ever after!
