Singing Softly

The next morning Cinderella started her chores. Stepmother barked orders at her. But it didn’t bother Cinderella today.

第二天早上，灰姑娘开始做家务。 继母对她厉声发号施令。 但今天灰姑娘并没有感到困扰。

“ Last night was lovely, ” she thought. “ I wish every night was that wonderful. ”

“昨晚太美好了，”她想。 “我希望每晚都那么美好。”

Cinderella hummed as she swept the floor. “ Quiet down! ” Stepmother snapped. “ You’re giving me a headache! ”

灰姑娘扫地时哼着歌。 “安静下来!”继母厉声说。 “你让我头疼!”

“ Yes, Stepmother, ” Cinderella said. Cinderella worked quietly. But in her head, she was still singing.

“是的，继母，”灰姑娘说。 灰姑娘静静地工作。 但在她的脑海里，她还在唱歌。

“ Grr . . . ” Stepmother stomped around the room. “ Why did that princess appear at the ball last night?” “ She ruined everything, ” Trudy said. “ The prince never noticed me. ”

“呃……”继母在房间里跺着脚。 “那位公主昨晚为什么出现在舞会上?” “她毁了一切，”特鲁迪说。 “王子从来没有注意到我。”

“ The prince didn’t notice me either, ” Gert said. “ I must wear more jewels tonight. ” Stepmother frowned. “ Tonight you both must look your best! ”

“王子也没有注意到我，”格特说。 “今晚我必须戴上更多的珠宝。” 继母皱着眉头。 “今晚你们俩一定要打扮得漂漂亮亮!”
