As she was doing this, they said to her:— "Cinderella, would you not be glad to go to the ball?" "Young ladies," she said, "you only jeer at me; it is not for such as I am to go there." "You are right," they replied; "people would laugh to see a Cinderwench at a ball."

When Cinderella heard midnight sounding, she left immediately.

The fire which seems extinguished is often dormant under the cinders; whoever wants to revive it may be in for a surprize.

The fairy then said to Cinderella, "Well, you see here a carriage fit to go to the ball in; are you not pleased with it?" "Oh, yes!" she cried; "but must I go as I am in these rags?"

It was a spacious harbour, sheltered deep / from access of the winds, but looming vast / with awful ravage, AEtna's neighbouring steep / thundered aloud, and, dark with clouds, upcast / smoke and red cinders in a whirlwind's blast. / Live balls of flame, with showers of sparks, upflew / and licked the stars, and in combustion massed, / torn rocks, her ragged entrails, molten new, / the rumbling mount belched forth from out the boiling stew.

As she was eagerly telling her godmother all that happened at the ball, her two sisters knocked at the door; Cinderella opened it.

Cinderella had two wicked stepsisters.

If Cinderella's shoe fits perfectly, then why did it fall off?

My grandmother told me the story of Cinderella.

Why didn't Cinderella's shoe disappear after midnight?
