- Narrator: Cinderella lives in a house with her Stepmother and her two Stepsisters. Her Stepmother never works around the house. Everyday she says:

Stepmother: Cinderella, wash the dishes. .. Cinderella, clean the house. .. Cinderella, work, work, work!

- Narrator: Clearly Cinderella is behind the eight ball (Its means that she is in a difficult position) Her Stepmother is not good, she add insult to injury her (when someone say or do something to upset you a second time) She is bad.  One of Cinderella’s Stepsisters is fat with a big nose.  The other one is thin, with big ears, and they don’t like to work either, they are completely behind the times. (it means they are old fashioned and their ideas are out of date)

Stepsister 1: Cinderella, come here!

Stepsister 2: Cinderella sweep the floor!

Stepsister 1: Cinderella clean my shoes!

Stepsister 2: Cinderella pull your socks up (it means you should improve what you are doing)… comb my hair, make it look beautiful!

- Narrator: Cinderella is very beautiful, and hardworker.  She is good to her Stepmother and to her Stepsisters.  One day they receive an invitation.

Stepsister 1: Mother, read it!

Stepsister 2: What does it say?

Stepmother: It says…  Every woman is invited to a ball.

Cinderella: Oh, I want to go to the ball. The ball is a shot in my arm (its means that something give you enthusiasm). I like to dance. And I’ll be glad to join you.

Stepsisters: You want to go to the ball? You have nothing to write home about (its means what the person says is not very important) you must be crazy!

Cinderella: Yes, I want to go to the ball.

- Narrator: Cinderella works hard.  She starts making the dresses for her Stepmother and her Stepsisters.  She doesn’t have time to make her own dress.

Stepsisters: We are going to the ball!  We are going to the ball!

Stepmother: If you don’t have a dress, you will not go to the ball.

- Narrator: Cinderella starts to cry.

Cinderella: I don’t have a pretty dress. BUT I have to leave no stone unturned (its means try everything in order to achieve something) How? I have an ugly dress. I think I am not going to the ball, then. :(

Stepsisters: What a shame!  We have pretty dresses.  Good-bye!

- Narrator: Suddenly, Cinderella sees a very beautiful woman.  It’s her Fairy Godmother.

Fairy Godmother: Now you have a pretty dress.

- Narrator: Cinderella looks at her dress, make up her mind (its means she make a decision) and says.

Cinderella: Yes, I have a pretty dress now! It does my world of good (its means that something makes you feel better) I am going to the ball.  I am happy!

Fairy Godmother: Just remember that you have to come back at twelve o’clock.  Don’t forget!

Cinderella: No, I won’t forget!  Good-bye.

- Narrator: Cinderella goes to the ball, and when she enters the palace everybody look at her.

Girl 1: What a pretty girl!

Girl 2: Who is she?

- Narrator: The handsome prince looks at her and says.

Prince: I want to dance with her.

- Narrator: She walks to where she is, and says.

Prince: Do you want to dance with me?

Cinderella: Yes, I want to dance with you.

- Narrator: And they danced all night.  Suddenly, Cinderella hears the clock strike and she puts the brakes on (its means you stop of doing something)

Clock: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

Cinderella: I have to go!

- Narrator: Cinderella runs and runs outside the palace, but she drops one of her shoes.  The Prince runs after her, but he doesn’t see her.

Prince: Wait! Wait! What is your name? Where do you live? Wait!

- Narrator: Then he picks up the shoe and says.

Prince: Where is she? I don’t even know her name. I don’t know anything about her. I am very sad, but I have a gut feeling (its means you sense something about a person or a situation)

- Narrator: Next morning, when the prince wakes up, he says.

Prince: I must take the plunge (its means you decide to do something you really want to do even though it is risky) I have to find my pretty lady. I have her shoe! It is question of time to find her (its means that you think that something will happen)
