灰姑娘

Long ago，there was a little girl. Her father was a businessman. He was too busy to look after her. Then one day, the little girl's mother died. She buried her mother under a tree in the garden. The little girl cried before the tomb every day. Even the birds in the tree became her friends.

从前，有一个小姑娘，她的爸爸是商人，常年在外经商，没办法照顾她。 有一天，小女孩的母亲去世了。她把母亲埋在花园的一棵树下。 小女孩天天都去坟前哭泣。就连树上的小鸟也成了她的朋友。

Before long, her father remarried. Her stepmother had two daughters. They had beautiful faces but evil hearts. They lived in her room, wore her clothes and forced her to do a lot of housework. The little girl did not have a room, so she had to sleep beside the stove and got very dusty. So her stepmother and stepsisters called her Cinderella.

没过多久，小姑娘的爸爸再婚了。继母带来了两个女儿。她们外表很美丽，内心却十分丑陋。 她们霸占了她的房间，将她漂亮的衣服据为己有，还逼迫她去做最苦、最累的活儿。 她没有自己的房间，只能睡在炉灶旁，弄得浑身都是尘土。 于是，继母和两个姐姐就叫她“灰姑娘”。

One day, the king decided to hold a ball to choose a wife for the prince. Cinderella's stepsisters were invited to the ball. They were very excited. " Hurry up! Comb my hair! ” one stepsister ordered Cinderella. " Cinderella, tie my belt, polish my shoes! " the other one commanded. Cinderella also wanted to go to the ball. “ How could you go to the ball in such dusty clothes？” her stepmother sneered.

有一天，国王决定举行一个盛大的舞会，为王子挑选一位新娘。 灰姑娘的姐姐们拿到了舞会的请束。她们激动坏了。 “快，快给我梳头发！”大姐对灰姑娘说。 “灰姑娘，快来给我系腰带！鞋子一定要擦亮！“二姐也命令道。 灰姑娘也想去参加舞会。“你怎么能穿着这么脏的衣服去参加舞会？”她的继母冷笑了一声。

Her stepmother and sisters left. Cinderella was very upset. She went to her mother's grave and cried. Suddenly, an old woman appeared. Cinderella was surprised. She greeted the old woman politely, " Good evening, Granny! ” “ Little girl, don't cry. I'm a fairy. I will help you! ” the old woman said.

继母和姐姐们离开了。灰姑娘很是沮丧。 她来到妈妈的坟前，伤心地哭了起来。突然，出现了一位慈祥的老婆婆。 灰姑娘惊呆了。但她还是很有礼貌地说：“老婆婆，晚上好。” “小姑娘，别哭。我是仙女，我会帮助你的。”老婆婆说道。

Cinderella was puzzled. The fairy took out a magic wand from her robe. She pointed it at Cinderella. Suddenly, Cinderella's ragged clothes turned into a beautiful dress! And her hair was done up, too! “ What a beautiful dress! I can go to the ball now! Thank you very much! " Cinderella said happily.

灰姑娘很困惑。仙女从长袍拿里出一根魔杖。对着灰姑娘轻轻一挥。 神奇的事情发生了，灰姑娘身上的破衣服不见了，取而代之的是无比美丽的礼服。甚至连她的头发都已经盘好了! “多么漂亮的礼服啊！我终于能去参加舞会啦！谢谢您!" 灰姑娘惊喜地叫道.

Cinderella could hardly wait to attend the ball. Then the fairy told her, " Wait a moment. You should take a carriage. " The fairy thought for a while and then she pointed her magic wand at the big pumpkin in the corner of the house. The pumpkin became a large carriage! " We need four horses, " the fairy said to herself. Just then she saw four mice running by. So she waved her magic wand and turned the mice into four white horses!

灰姑娘转身就跑，但仙女却对她说：“别着急，你得坐马车去。” 仙女想了想，拿起魔棒对着墙角的大南瓜一挥。 南瓜变成了一辆华丽的马车! "我们还得找四匹白马。”仙女自言自语地说。 刚好有四只小老鼠从她身边跑过。所以她挥动魔棒，小老鼠就变成了四匹高大的白马！
