Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella who,lived with her wicked stepmother and two ugly stepsisters. These steprelatives were not only wicked and ugly--they also made Cinderella clean the house every day.
Once the local prince announced that he was holding a fabulous ball at his castle. Everyone was invited.
The stepmother and stepsisters got all dressed up to go. But, as usual, they made Cinderella clean the house, so she didn't have enough time to get ready. After the stepmother and stepsisters left for the ball, Cinderella sat down and began to slowly cry.
Just then a little man appeared.
"Please don't cry," he said. "I can help you spin straw into gold."
"I don't think that will do me much good," said Cinderella. "I need a fancy dress, glass slippers, and a coach."
"Would you like to try to guess my name?" said the clever little man.
Cinderella looked at him, "No. Not really."
"Come on. Do you think it's 'Chester'?"
"If you don't have a dress, it doesn't really matter."
"Oh, just guess a name, any name."
"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers,"said Cinderella. Then she closed the door and left the little man standing outside screaming, "RUMPELSTILTSKIN! RUMPELSTILTSKIN!"
When the stepmother and stepsisters got home from the ball, Cinderella told them about the strange little man. They still made her clean the house. And meaner still, they changed her name to Cinderrumpelstiltskin. The End.
