Summary of "Cinderella"

(This is also a part of the homework.)
Referatet af Askepot- af Li-Yi Chen

Der var en gang en pige hvis mor blev rigtig syg. Før moren død fortalte hun sin datter, at hun skulle plante et lille træ på hendes grav og ryste det hvis hun ønskede noget. Snart giftede pigens far sig igen, og hendes stedmor og stedsøstre var meget onde til den stakkels pige. Hun skulle arbejde hårdt hele dagen og kun fik lov at sov ved siden af ildstedet, derfor blev hun kaldt ”Askepot.”

En dag fik Askepot en gren og plantede den som sin afdøde mor havde sagt. Grenen blev et træt og to hvid duer fløj til hende. På den tid holdt kongen en 3-dage fest og inviterede all smukke piger i landet så hans søn kunne finde en kone. Askepots stedmor og søstre gik til festen, men de forbrugte hende at gå. Askepot bad om fine klæder til festen på sin mors grav, og så fik hun dem af duerne. Hun gik til fest men løbte væk unden at fortælle prinsen hvem hun var. Hun forlod en sko i festen, og senere besøgte prinsen hendes famile og spørgte om ejeren af skoen. De to onde søstre skar en del af deres fødder for at passe skoen, men det fandt prisen ud. Til sidst vidste han, at Askpot var den rigtig ejer og de blev giftes.

Summary of Cinderalla

Once there was a girl whose mom became really sick. Before the mom died, she told her daughter to plant a tree on her grave and shook it if she’d like to have something. Soon the girls’ father remarried, and her step mom and sisters were very evil to the poor girl. She had to work hard all day long and could only sleep by the fireplace, hence the name “Cinderella.”

One day Cinderella got hold of a branch and planted it like her mom told her. The branch became a tree and two white pigeons flew to her. At that time the king hold a 3-day party and invited all the country’s beautiful girls so that his son can find a wife. Cinderella’s step mom and sisters went but didn’t let her go with them. Cinderella begged for fine clothes for the party on her mother’s grave, and then the white pigeons got them for her. She went to the party but ran away without telling the prince who she was. She left a shoe in the party, and later the prince visited her family and asked about the owner of the shoe. The two evil sisters cut off a part of their feet to fit in the shoe, but the prince found that out. In the end he knew that Cinderella was the real owner and they got married.
