Cinderella (2)

Cinderella (2)

The stepmother gave her a wretched straw pallet for a bed in the garret. Only one chair was her furniture.

While her own daughters had no work and  lay below upon soft new beds in the big room and had full-length mirror in which to admire themselves from head to foot.

The poor girl suffered all in silence with patience and not daring to complain to her father, for she saw that he was entirely ruled by his new wife. 

When her daily tasks was done she used to sit down in the chimney-corner among the ashes.



The two daughters laughed and said, " You look good covered with cinders from head to foot. From now on, we call you Cinder-ella. "

This caused her to be called ' Cinderella '. 

In spite of her poor appearance, however, Cinderella appear a hundred times handsomer than did her sisters in their fine clothes.
