his son would meet anyone he wanted to marry.
Then Cinderella walked in. The Prince was enchanted by her beauty. He walked over to her, and they began to waltz. It was as if Cinderella was the only maiden in the room. The two danced all night. They even waltzed out to the moonlit balcony. Cinderella felt as if she were dreaming. I must be in love, she thought.
As the other guests watched the happy couple dance, they wondered who this beautiful young girl could be. No one had ever seen her before, but it was obvious she had stolen the Princeâs heart.
As the clock struck midnight, Cinderella remembered what the Fairy Godmother had said. She quickly ran from the palace before the spell was broken. She was in such a hurry that one of her glass slippers came off as she rushed down the steps. The Prince ran after her, but it was too late. Cinderella was gone, and he hadnât even asked her name.
And Cinderella didnât know that the handsome man she had been dancing with was actually the Prince!
The next day, Cinderella was busy doing her chores when she overheard Lady Tremaine talking to her daughters. It seemed the Grand Duke had been looking all night for the girl who had lost her slipper at the ball. The Prince was madly in love with her.
âThe Prince!â Cinderella exclaimed. She dropped the tray she was carrying. The man sheâd been dancing with all night was the Prince? And he was madly in love with her? Could it be true?
âNot even the Prince knows who that girl is,â Lady Tremaine said. âThe glass slipper is their only clue. The Duke has been ordered to try it on every girl in the kingdom. And if one can be found whom the slipper fits, then by the Kingâs command, that girl shall be the Princeâs bride.â
Cinderella was in shock. âHis bride!â she whispered.
Her stepsisters began to fight over who would marry the Prince.
Cinderella started toward her room. She wanted to be wearing something prettier than work clothes when the Grand Duke arrived with the glass slipper. She walked down the hall, happier than she had ever been. Remembering her magical evening, she began to sing and waltz.
Lady Tremaineâs eyes narrowed. She realized that Cinderella was the mysterious girl from the ball. She followed Cinderella upstairs and locked her in her attic room. She wanted one of her daughters to marry the Prince, not her stepdaughter!
When the Grand Duke arrived, Anastasia and Drizella both tried on the glass slipper, but their feet were much too big.
The Grand Duke was just about to leave when Cinderella rushed down the stairs. âWait!â she called.
Gus and Jaq had stolen the key to Cinderellaâs room from her stepmotherâs pocket and freed their friend just in time.
Lady Tremaine was furious. She tripped the footman, and the glass slipper fell to the floor and shattered into many pieces.
Luckily, Cinderella had the matching slipper. She reached into her apron pocket and pulled it out. The slipper was a perfect fit!
The Grand Duke took Cinderella to the castle, where she married the Prince. And they lived happily ever after.
