CINDERELLA MARRIES PRINCE CHARMING!

Kitchen maid says goodbye to life of cooking and cleaning.

On Saturday, the town came to cheer as our own Prince Charming led his bride out of Storyville Castle. Princess Cinderella dazzled in a golden wedding gown and her lucky glass slippers, which she managed not to lose this time!

The day was almost spoilt when her stepsisters threw tomatoes at the happy couple. They were quickly seen off by all the king’s horses and all the king’s men …

“Where’s my dinner, Cinders?” bellowed Hilda, storming into the kitchen.

“Cinderella isn’t here,” said Lettice, as she tried to open a tin of beans with a toothbrush.

“I’m hungry,” whined Hilda, peering into the empty fridge. “My stomach thinks my mouth’s on strike.”

“These beans are all we’ve got,” grumbled Lettice.

“We shouldn’t have wasted our tomatoes on that wretched girl,” said Hilda.

“Or spent every penny on ballgowns so the prince would marry one of us,” said Lettice.

“Everyone hates us because we’re storybook villains,” moaned Hilda. “All we did was make Cinderella clean the house.”

“And tear up her invitation to the ball,” said Lettice.

“And hide her when the prince arrived,” added Hilda.

“There’s only one thing to do.” Lettice gritted her teeth. “Earn money.”

“We have to work?” gasped Hilda.

“Don’t be silly,” said Lettice. “We’ll find storybook villains to work for us.”

She scribbled on some paper.

“Where do we get the villains?” asked Hilda.

“Look outside,” said Lettice. “There are plenty of unemployed villains whose stories have finished.”

“Brilliant,” said Hilda.

“They’ll work, live in the shed and we’ll keep the money,” added Lettice.
