Cinderella felt awful
Her stepsisters were at the fancy ball
But she was home alone
I wish I could go to the ball
Cinderella wiped away her tears
I must not feel sorry for myself she said
I have lots of work to do
Cinderella got a rag and a bucket
She got down on her hands and knees
And she began to scrub
Cinderella heard something
What was that she thought
She went outside
There was a small woman at the foundation
She had sparkling wings
Oops she said I'm all wet
Cinderella gasped W‐who are you
I'm your fairy godmother the woman said
She stood up and flapped her wings
The fairy flew over to Cinderella
I'm here to check on you she said
I wanted to make sure you're okay
Cinderella stared in surprise
Suddenly she burst into tears
My dear the fairy said
What's wrong tell me
I'm not okay Cinderella said
My life is terrible
I work and work and work
And tonight
You want to go to the ball the fairy said
Cinderella sniffed Yes but
The fairy smiled brightly then you will go
