Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a kind and gentle girl named [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4). She loved watching birds sing and dreaming of a better life.

[Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4)’s stepmother and stepsisters were jealous of her beauty and forced her to do all the housework, while they dressed in finery and went to parties.

One day, the king announced a royal ball to find a bride for the prince. [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4)’s stepsisters excitedly prepared for the event while [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4) could only dream of attending.

As the stepsisters left for the ball, [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4) sat alone in the garden, tears streaming down her face, wishing she could go too.

Suddenly, a shimmering light appeared, and [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4)’s [Fairy Godmother](ZDR9BYGQ) stood before her, ready to grant her wish.

With a wave of her wand, the [Fairy Godmother](ZDR9BYGQ) transformed a pumpkin into a carriage, mice into horses, and [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4)’s rags into a dazzling gown.

At the royal ball, [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4) captivated everyone, including the prince, who asked her to dance. They talked and laughed all night.

When the clock struck midnight, [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4) fled, leaving behind a single glass slipper as the magic began to fade.

The prince searched the kingdom with the glass slipper, and when it fit [Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4) perfectly, he asked her to marry him.

[Cinderella](PHQ4XWY4) forgave her stepmother and stepsisters and married the prince, living happily ever after as a kind and beloved queen.
