Cinderella (2 page)
Cinderella started toward her room. She wanted to be wearing something prettier than work clothes when the Grand Duke arrived with the glass slipper. She walked down the hall, happier than she had ever been. Remembering her magical evening, she began to sing and waltz.
Lady Tremaine's eyes narrowed. She realized that Cinderella was the mysterious girl from the ball. She followed Cinderella upstairs and locked her in her attic room. She wanted one of her daughters to marry the Prince, not her stepdaughter!
When the Grand Duke arrived, Anastasia and Drizella both tried on the glass slipper, but their feet were much too big.
The Grand Duke was just about to leave when Cinderella rushed down the stairs. “Wait!” she called.
Gus and Jaq had stolen the key to Cinderella's room from her stepmother's pocket and freed their friend just in time.
Lady Tremaine was furious. She tripped the footman, and the glass slipper fell to the floor and shattered into many pieces.
Luckily, Cinderella had the matching slipper. She reached into her apron pocket and pulled it out. The slipper was a perfect fit!
The Grand Duke took Cinderella to the castle, where she married the Prince. And they lived happily ever after.
