The stepmother had two kittens, Petunia and Rose. Cinderella was treated badly by her step mother and sisters, they always make her do chores and boss her around.

One day, her dad was coming home. Usually, he would bring everyone a gift, including some for the kittens. Petunia wanted beautiful dresses, Rose wanted expensive jewelry. When Cinderella’s father asked her what she wanted, “ the branch from a tree that catches your hat”, was her reply. Her father went and bought what her two daughters wanted. When he was almost home, a branch of a nearby tree caught his hat. He broke it off and gave it to her daughter. Cinderella planted it in her garden, and it grew into a beautiful tree with white flowers. Each night, two white pigeons roost until morning.

One day, the prince opened a grand ball, and invited all the lady cats. Cinderela’s stepsisters all dressed up, but won’t let Cinderella come to the ball. After her stepsisters left, the two white pigeons brought her a beautiful gown and glass slippers. But the dresses will disappear after midnight.
