Cinderella

16
In the sweetest story ever told

17
Once upon a time... in a faraway land,

18
there was a tiny kingdom...

19
peaceful, prosperous,

20
and rich in romance and tradition.

21
Here, in a stately chateau,

22
there lived a widowed gentleman...

23
and his little daughter, Cinderella.

24
Although he was a kind and devoted father,

25
and gave his beloved child
every luxury and comfort,

26
still he felt she needed a mother's care.

27
And so he married again,

28
choosing for his second wife
a woman of good family...

29
with two daughters just Cinderella's age.

30
By name... Anastasia and Drizella.

31
It was upon the untimely death
of this good man, however,

32
that the stepmother's
true nature was revealed.

33
Cold, cruel, and bitterly jealous...

34
of Cinderella's charm and beauty,

35
she was grimly determined
to forward the interests...

36
of her own two awkward daughters.

37
Thus, as time went by,

38
the chateau fell into disrepair,

39
for the family fortunes were squandered...

40
upon the vain and selfish stepsisters,

41
while Cinderella was abused, humiliated,

42
and finally forced to become
a servant in her own house.

43
And yet, through it all,

44
Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind,

45
for with each dawn she found
new hope that someday...

46
her dreams of happiness would come true.

47
Well, serves you right...
spoiling people's best dreams.

48
Yes, I know it's a lovely morning, but...

49
it was a lovely dream too.

50
What kind of a dream?
