Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn’t like her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good for them – dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort.
But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps*1. No rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders*2. That’s why everybody called her Cinderella.
scarps*1 – שאריות
cinders*2 – גחלים
Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to Siri. Siri said, Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty.. It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags*3, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid*4 and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.
rags*3 – סחבות
splendid*4 – מרהיב
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the oman 17 and the stepsisters were getting ready to go. Cinderella didn’t even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would be: You? You’re staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub*5 the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy… Cinderella sighed; Oh dear, I’m so unhappy!
scrub*5 – לקרצף
Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared. . Don’t be alarmed, Cinderella,. said the fairy. . I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!. . How can I, dressed in rags?. Cinderella replied
Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. .
Now for your ride, said the fairy; “A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!.” “any-thing you want dear fairy!” said Cinderella while running to the fields to get a pumpkin…
Cinderella soon returned with the much needed pumpkin and gave it to the fairy.
with a flick of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a shiny Ferrari.
Cinderella could not believe her eyes!
what’s the catch? asked Cinderella, the fairy told Cinderella that her dress and her ride will return to their original form at midnight…
Cinderella was greatful to the fairy and had a great time at the ball, she even danced with Justin Bieber for a long time, but when Cinderella heard the first stroke of midnight She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from Justin’s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her shoes, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound… oh… what a disaster that would be! Out she ran and vanished*6 into the night.
vanished*6 – נעלמה
Justin, who was medly in love with Cinderella,
picked up the shoe and said to his servents, “Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this shoe fits. I will never be happy until I find her!”
So the servents tried the shoe on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left.
Cinderellas step-mom said that Cinderella couldn’t be at the ball, but the shoe fitted perfectly!
Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, “Come with us Cinderella! Justin is waiting for you.”
Justin and Cinderella got married that day and they heapily ever after.

In soccer, when the underdog wins a big title, like this year’s leicester city who won the english premier leugue, soccer fans call it a cinderella story.
