i like the chinese version of cinderella better because it originated from china. i have heard this type of story a long time ago. it has some sort of traditional chinese culture values and elements inside the story as well. in addition, it was illustrated by ed.young whom i have very strong respect for. to conclude, no matter whether they are western or eastern versions of cinderella, they all tell the great fairy tales that we like. one thing i have learned from these fairy tales is that we need to be optimistic when we encounter problems in our life. the final outcome will turn out great if we try very hard towards our goals and make it happen.
cinderella is a beautiful girl. she has two ugly stepsisters. they are not kind to cinderella. cinderella does all of the work. she must cook, clean and do everything.
one day, a letter comes to the house. it is a letter from the prince. he will have a big party. he would like the three girls to come. the prince wants to find a wife. cinderella can't go to the party because she doesn't have beautiful clothes. her stepsisters have beautiful clothes. they look very happy. cinderella is very sad. cinderella's stepsisters leave the house. they are going to the prince's party. cinderella cries. she also wants to go to the party. suddenly, a woman shows up. she is a kind fairy.
"don't worry," says the fairy. "you can go to the prince's party." "i can't go," cries cinderella. "i don't have a nice dress."
it will be all right," says the fairy. "go get a pumpkin, six mice and a rat." cinderella quickly finds them. "what will you do?" cinderella asks. the fairy waves her wand over the pumpkin.
the pumpkin is now a beautiful silver coach. the fairy waves her wand over the six mice. she changes them into six strong men. the six men will walk with the coach. then the fairy changes the rat into a man. he is the driver of the coach.
the coach is beautiful, but cinderella still looks sad. "i still can't go to the party. my dress is too ugly," she says. "don't worry," says the fairy. she waves her wand and makes cinderella's dress beautiful.
now cinderella has a nice dress. it is gold and very pretty. her shoes are made of glass. cinderella is so beautiful. she can go to the party.
"you must leave the party before twelve o'clock," says the fairy. "at 12:00 the magic will end."
"i will be back before twelve o'clock," says cinderella. she gets into the coach to go to the party.
the prince's palace is full of people. they are all happy to be at the big party. all the girls want to marry the prince. then cinderella walks into the palace. "who is she?" everyone asks. "she's so beautiful," they say.
