Cinderella was left home, very sad. After a time, her fairy godmother appeared and told Cinderella that she could go to the ball — but to return home by midnight.

     So she went to the ball in a beautiful dress in a wonderful coach. She danced with the prince but at midnight she ran back home, leaving one of her shoes on her dancing floor.
