CINDERELLA – BEAUTIFUL GIRL

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella.

She lived with her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. They
treated Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for a
grand ball in the king’s palace. But Cinderella’s stepmother
would not let her go. Cinderella was made to sew new party
gowns for her stepmother and stepsisters, and curl their hair.
They then went to the ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home.
Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy
godmother appeared and said, “Don’t cry, Cinderella! I will send
you to the ball!” But Cinderella was sad. She said, “I don’t have
a gown to wear for the ball!” The fairy godmother waved her
magic wand and changed Cinderella’s old clothes into a
beautiful new gown! The fairy godmother then touched
Cinderella’s feet with the magic wand. And lo! She had beautiful
glass slippers! “How will I go to the grand ball?” asked
Cinderella. The fairy godmother found six mice playing near a
pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched them with her magic wand
and the mice became four shiny black horses and two
coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach.
Cinderella was overjoyed and set off for the ball in the coach
drawn by the six black horses. Before leaving. the fairy
godmother said, “Cinderella, this magic will only last until
midnight! You must reach home by then!”
When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck by
her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s stepmother or
stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and
shoes. The handsome prince also saw her and fell in love with
Cinderella. He went to her and asked, “Do you want to dance?”
And Cinderella said, “Yes!” The prince danced with her all night
and nobody recognized the beautiful dancer. Cinderella was so
happy dancing with the prince that she almost forgot what the
fairy godmother had said. At the last moment, Cinderella
remembered her fairy godmother’s words and she rushed to go
home. “Oh! I must go!” she cried and ran out of the palace. One
of her glass slippers came off but Cinderella did not turn back
for it. She reached home just as the clock struck twelve. Her
coach turned back into a pumpkin, the horses into mice and her
fine ball gown into rags. Her stepmother and stepsisters
reached home shortly after that. They were talking about the
beautiful lady who had been dancing with the prince.
The prince had fallen in love with Cinderella and wanted to find
out who the beautiful girl was, but he did not even know her
name. He found the glass slipper that had come off Cinderella’s
foot as she ran home. The prince said, “I will find her. The lady
whose foot fits this slipper will be the one I marry!” The next
day, the prince and his servants took the glass slipper and went
to all the houses in the kingdom. They wanted to find the lady
whose feet would fit in the slipper. All the women in the kingdom
tried the slipper but it would not fit any of them. Cinderella’s
stepsisters also tried on the little glass slipper. They tried to
squeeze their feet and push hard into the slipper, but the
servant was afraid the slipper would break. Cinderella’s
stepmother would not let her try the slipper on, but the prince
saw her and said, “Let her also try on the slipper!” The slipper fit
her perfectly. The prince recognized her from the ball. He
married Cinderella and together they lived happily ever after.

Lyrics
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
And did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers?
The future's in the air, I can feel it everywhere
I'm blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Mh-mmh
Walking down the street
And distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva and down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their
dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of
mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say (say)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their
dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
