Cinderella Episode 1: A Kind Girl.

Once upon a time, there was a very kind girl. Her name was Ella. She lived happily with her father. Ella had fine clothes and jewelry. She had a big room with a warm cozy bed. And there was always plenty of food.

One day, Ella and her father were walking in town. Wonderful smells came from the bakery. "Let's get a treat" father said. Ella saw a young beggar sitting in the town square. "That poor boy" Ella said. "Father, can we please get something for him?" Father smiled warmly. "You are very kind, Ella." Father bought some bread. 🍞. Ella gave it to the boy. "Thank you Miss," the boy said. 

A few days later, Ella saw father in the garden. "You look happy, father," she said. Father laughed 😂😂 "I have exciting news!" "I met a lovely lady," father said. "We're going to get married!" Ella gasped, "Father, I'm so happy for you!"

A week later, father got married. Ella's new stepmother had two daughters. The older daughter was tall and thin. The younger one was short and plump. "It's nice to meet you!" Ella said. The two daughters smiled. So did their mother. But there was a nasty look in her eyes.

Ella's father was on a hunting trip. One morning stepmother woke Ella.

"Get up, lazy girl" she snapped. "I have some news! Your father is dead!" Ella gasped ! Tears filled her eyes. "Oh, no! She cried in pain" "Father, my poor father..."

After that, nothing was the same. Ella was still kind and polite. But, stepmother was now mean. Stepmother gave fancy dresses to her daughters.

Ella wore ugly old rags. The stepsisters slept in soft feathers beds. Ella slept on a hard bed made of straw. Gert napped all day long. Trudy ate all day long. But stepmother made Ella work. She scrubbed, swept and mopped.

"Pretty, little Ella," stepmother said. "You think you're better than we are. You think you're prettier too." "No, I don't" Ella said, "You're, my family now. I love all of you." "Ugh," stepmother sneered. "You're too nice. Go and make my lunch! And tend the fire again! I don't want my daughters to catch a cold.

Ella liked to sit near the fire. She remembered her days with father. "I miss him so much," she thought. The stepsisters saw Ella by the fire. Trudy giggled🤭. "You covered in ashes!" "Ella likes ashes and cinders" Gert said. "Let's call her... Cinderella!" hahaha 🤣 🤣  🤣.

Trudy's eyes 👁️ lit up. "This is so exciting!" She said. "Maybe the prince will ask me to marry him. Gert snorted, "No way, Trudy" The prince will fall in love with me! "I'm beautiful and tall" Trudy put her hands on her hips. "Well, I'm beautiful and....plump!" "Girls, girls! Stepmother said. "You're both beautiful"
