| Drawing by The Other Emily, age 43/4. |
Once upon a time, in England, lived a girl with two mean, ugly sisters. They would not let her go to the prince's ball. Lucky for Cinderella, her fairy godmother said she could go! As long as she was home by midnight. Cinderella had fun dancing with the prince. When she ran away, her sparkly shoe got lost. The prince wanted to marry the girl that the shoe fitted. It did not fit on the feet of her sisters. It did fit Cinderella! So Cinderella and the prince got married, and were happy forever.
