Cinderella's Time and Place
The Ball at the Palace
Long ago, in a small kingdom, Ethan lived with her stepmother and stepsisters. Their home stood near the king’s palace, where a grand ball was planned. The invitation arrived by horseback: the prince would welcome guests that evening in the palace’s great hall. Ethan’s stepmother and stepsisters dressed in silk gowns and hurried away in a carriage pulled by two horses. Ethan stayed behind, wishing she could attend. A kind fairy appeared and used magic to give Ethan a silver-blue gown, sparkling shoes, and a pumpkin carriage. She warned Ethan to return before midnight, when the magic would end. At the palace, candles glowed in tall holders, and musicians played violins. The prince asked Ethan to dance. When the clock began to chime midnight, Ethan rushed down the stone steps. One shoe slipped off, but she had no time to go back. The next morning, the prince searched the kingdom for the person whose foot fit the shoe.
