Past simple

Cinderella Once there lived a rich man, whose wife was sick.

To-infinitive

And when she felt her end drawing near, she called her only daughter, Cinderella, to come close to her bed.

Adverbs of frequency

Dear child, when I'm gone, be good and pious, and God will always be with you.

I will take care of you, and I will look down upon you from heaven, and will be with you.

The maiden went every day to her mother's grave and cried.

Cinderella's father used to travel a lot for work.

He decided to remarry so that he could get someone to take care of Cinderella.

He got married to a widow who had two young daughters.

Cinderella lived with her wicked stepmother and two unkind stepsisters.

She grew up being their servant, doing all the house chores.

One day, Cinderella was sweeping the floor.

Her two sisters were sitting on the sofa and greedily eating fruits.

After eating, one of the sisters threw the peels on the floor.

The stepmother came into the drawing room and saw the unclean floor.

Cinderella was made to cook and do the dishes.

You can eat the leftovers after we finish.

Cinderella picked up all the dishes and cleaned them.

Every night she cried and slept in hunger.

Looking at Cinderella, the little rats and the bird felt bad for her and became friends with her.

One day the king decided to have a big party and called everyone from the town.

The king wanted his son to choose one of the pretty girls to marry.

The king sent an invite to all the young maidens for a grand ball at his palace.

The people of the kingdom, I have a message for you from the king.

Everyone is invited to the grand ball on Saturday of the coming week.

He will choose a princess for the prince on the occasion.

Cinderella was also very happy and excited as she always wanted to see the palace.

Cinderella's sisters started preparing themselves for the ball with a great hustle and bustle.

Come on girls, start preparing for the ball.

I want the prince to marry either of you.

And you, Cinderella, help both of them to prepare.

One of them is going to marry the prince soon.

Cinderella, fix my hair and help me get dressed.

I really want to see the palace and attend the ball.

Everyone will just laugh at you and will have to face embarrassment.

The sisters and mother left for the grand ball.

She remembered that she had had her mother's wedding gown.

Her little friends, the birds and the rats, started helping her too.

This will take lots of time, and by that time the party will be over.

This dress is all torn, and I don't have a gown to wear to the ball.

Cinderella's old clothes changed into a beautiful new gown, and pointing at her feet appeared glass shoes.

Her mice friends and bird jumping on a pumpkin.

She turned the pumpkin into a beautiful carriage.

The mice became horses to drag the carriage, and the bird became her coachman.

But godmother, my stepsisters and stepmother will be there too.

They will get angry if they see me there.

Don't worry, I won't let them recognize you.

But remember, my child, the magic will only last until midnight.

She waved goodbye and set off for the ball.

When she entered the ballroom, all the heads turned towards her.

The stepsisters and the stepmother couldn't recognize her.

The handsome prince saw her and fell in love with her at the very first sight.

Hey beautiful lady, may I have the pleasure of dancing with you?
