Prince Cinders was not much of a prince.

He was small， spotty， scruffy and skinny.

They made poor Prince Cinders stay behind and clean up after them.

One Saturday night， when he was washing the socks， a dirty fairy fell down the chimney.

“Ziz Ziz Boom， Tic Tac Ta， This empty can shall be a car.”

“Biff Bang Bong， Bo Bo Bo， To the disco you shall go！”

Prince Cinders got big and hairy， all right.

Prince Cinders didn’t know he was a big hairy monkey.

He thought he looked pretty good.

So off he went to the disco.

But he was too big to fit through the door！

He decided to take the bus home.

A pretty princess was waiting at the stop.

Midnight！ Prince Cinders changed back into himself.

The princess thought he had saved her！

“Wait！” she shouted. But Prince Cinders was too shy.

He lost his trousers in the rush！

The Princess wanted to find the owner of the trousers.

Every prince tried to force the trousers on.

“Let him try！” commanded the princess.

They did fit！

So Prince Cinders married Princess Lovelypenny and lived in luxury， happily ever after ...

His big hairy brothers were turned to do the housework for ever and ever.
