Cinderella is so poor. Cinderella ’s stepmother has very comfortable and gorgeous room.
This story is very modern age. Because their fashion is new. For example, petticoat, nail,gold flower's gown, and so on. But I think they are blatant fashion.
On the way, stepmother and stepsister went on a diet, but the way is not "eating". Oh, my god!!
This story's differences to orginal.  This is the jocular part. Cinderella is expressive and charming, crying and yelling. very very funny.

"Because Prince's are brave and fearless."said Bertie. "And some of us can even do double back-flips on our skate boards."

Now, there is a very famous fairry tale about a girl's wish that did come true, and I expect you know already that the story is called Cinderella, and it's time for me to tell it to you.


( だって、王子は勇敢で恐れ知らずよ)とベティは言った。(そしてスケートボードで後ろに宙返りが二回できるとさえ思う人もいるわ)

さて、ここに少女がそれが実現すると願っている、とても有名なおとぎ話があります。そしてそれがシンデレラと呼ばれている物語であることを既にあなたは知っているでしょう。さて、そろそろあなたにお話しする時間です。
