灰姑娘的两个姊姊出门了。她们要参加王子的宴会。灰姑娘哭了。她也想去赴宴。突然间,有一位女士出现了。她是个好心的仙女。
"Don't worry," says the fairy. "You can go to the prince's party." "I can't go," cries Cinderella. "I don't have a nice dress."
“别担心,”仙女说。”你可以参加王子的宴会。”“我去不了,”灰姑娘哭道。”我没有象样的衣服。”
"It will be all right," says the fairy. "Go get a pumpkin, six mice and a rat." Cinderella quickly finds them. "What will you do?" Cinderella asks. The fairy waves her wand over the pumpkin.
“没关系,”仙女说。”替我找一个南瓜,六只家鼠及一只田鼠来。”灰姑娘很快就找到这些东西。”您要怎么做?”灰姑娘问道。仙女把魔棒在南瓜上面挥了一下。
The pumpkin is now a beautiful silver coach. The fairy waves her wand over the six mice. She changes them into six strong men. The six men will walk with the coach. Then the fairy changes the rat into a man. He is the driver of the coach.
南瓜现在变成了华丽的银马车。仙女把魔棒在六只老鼠上面挥了一挥。她把他们变成六名壮汉。这六名壮汉会跟着马车一块走。接着,仙女再把田鼠变成一名男子,他成了马车夫。
The coach is beautiful, but Cinderella still looks sad. "I still can't go to the party. My dress is too ugly," she says. "Don't worry," says the fairy. She waves her wand and makes Cinderella's dress beautiful.
马车很华丽,可是灰姑娘仍然一副悲伤的模样。”我还是去不了宴会。我的衣服很丑,”她说。”别担心,”仙女说道。她挥了挥魔棒,便把灰姑娘的衣服变得很漂亮了。

"You must leave the party before twelve o'clock," says the fairy. "At 12:00 the magic will end."
"I will be back before twelve o'clock," says Cinderella. She gets into the coach to go to the party.
“你必须在十二点以前离开宴会,”仙女说。”十二点时,法力就会消失。”
“我会在十二点以前赶回来,”灰姑娘说。她上了马车赴宴去了。
