灰姑娘.10 | Cinderella Chapter 10

英语 经典儿童童话故事 灰姑娘 第10章 After a time, the search reached the home of Cinderella and her step-sisters. The sisters sent Cinderella upstairs to clean the drapes, then each tried every possible way of getting her foot into the slipper, but without success. The official in charge of the search then asked the sisters to fetch the servant girl. The sisters immediately began to laugh, and to ridicule Cinderella, at the very thought that it could be she who had captured the prince’s heart. But the official was insistent. “My orders are to try the slipper on every maiden in the kingdom,” he declared. The sisters relented and, with great amusement, called for Cinderella.   The official invited Cinderella to sit down, and at once found that the slipper slid effortlessly onto her foot, and fitted her perfectly. The astonishment of the sisters was very great, but still greater when Cinderella drew from her pocket the other slipper, and, to the delight of the official, placed it upon her other foot.
