Cinderella stared at her fairy godmother.
"Really? I can go to the ball?"
Godmother nodded. "Yes.
Run to the garden and bring me a pumpkin."
"A pumpkin?" Cinderella went to the garden.
She found a nice pumpkin and ran back.
"Here!" Cinderella set the pumpkin in front of Godmother.
Godmother tapped it with her wand. Zap!
The pumpkin was now a golden coach!
"Next we need some horses," Godmother said.
"I'll find some mice!" Cinderella said.
Godmother counted. "One. Two. Three. Four."
Zap! The mice turned into a team of horses.
"Hmm." Godmother looked around.
"Who will drive the golden coach?"
"There are rats in the cellar," Cinderella said.
"Perfect!" Godmother replied.
"Bring me one!"
Zap!
Soon a jolly driver with whiskers stood there.
Zap! Zap!
Two lizards became handsome servants.
Godmother smiled. "Your coach is ready, my dear!"
"But . . ." Cinderella pointed at her clothes.
The fairy touched her lightly with the wand.
Zap!
Cinderella's ugly rags were gone.
Now she wore a beautiful gown with sparkling jewels.
And on her feet . . .
Cinderella wore the prettiest glass shoes in the world!
She climbed into the coach.
"Good-bye, Godmother! I'm off to the ball!"
