A Shoe’s Memory of a Tale of a Princess Named Cinderella

by Brandon Rhyram

So you may know the story of Cinderella. But there are some things that were not told. Like how the shoe felt when it was left alone on that stairwell. Well that shoe, even though it couldn't talk, could remember.

One day we were passing through a town with Fairy Godmother looking for people in need of help. When Fairy Godmother started to give up she saw this large house. Even though it was random, she had a feeling that this was where she needed to be. So she shrunk herself in order to not be seen and she saw a young girl. This girl looked miserable; she was dirty and smelly.

Fairy Godmother started to observe the situation the girl was in. She found out she was quite sad. She learned that she was a stepsister to these ugly looking girls who abused her. She learned that they treat her like dirt and force her to do everything. Fairy Godmother was surprised that she didn't stand up for herself. The stepmom was just as bad--never giving her attention of love that a girl would want from a mother. After hearing this, Fairy Godmother knew that this was the person she needed to help out.

The girl knew that there was a ball at the castle in the town. Even after being hurt mentally by her family and told not to go unless she had a dress, this young woman made herself a dress that didn't look that bad. She then went down the stairs and met with the odd family.

The worst happened to her--her sisters attacked her and ripped her dress. They made fun of her and told her to stay home like filth and she cried and cried. Poor girl was devastated to heart for what they did. Fairy Godmother said enough is enough.

She appeared in front of the young girl. Even though I am a shoe I could still remember what was happening. She turned to the girl and started to tell her that it was all ok and that she had a way she could go to the ball. She turned a pumpkin into a coach, a dog into a horse, and the rats into drivers, and even gave her a beautiful dress. This made the girl smile widely and I felt honored that I was chosen to be put on her feet.

We went to the ball and it was huge. There were more than a hundred people at this ball. So she went inside and was met by a handsome prince. After a little talk they started to dance and dance away from the crowd.

They danced into a open room where there were no people and they started to fall in love. I was surprised that they fell for each other this quickly. But then the I heard the clock ring, It was 12:00 midnight and I remembered that Fairy Godmother told her that everything would be gone by midnight. She quickly ran as he shouted for her to come back.

As she was running away she accidentally left me on the stairs. After I saw her leave I knew that I was done for, that I would be stuck there.

But the prince picked me up and looked at me with a concentrated glaze. He then put me in a box in his chambers that night. I thought he was going to keep me there stuck in a box. But the next morning he took me in the box around town and put women’s feet inside me to see if they would fit.

None of them were able to, so he started to give up. Until he came up to the same house the girl lived in. He went inside and asked if there were any young women there. The ugly stepsisters of that girl came down the stairs running to put me on. It was disgusting to be touched by them, but they didn't fit. But that girl decided to come down and asked to try me on. To no surprise she fit in me! The prince was glad that he met the woman he fell in love with.

It only took five months for them to get married. I am honestly happy for them that they had a happy ending.

Cinderella’s Glass Slipper

By Alondra Arredondo

Hi! My name is Savannah and I am a glass slipper born in Paris on June 2, 2004. I lived there for a while until a nice old lady called Fairy Godmother Banana adopted me. She took me with her wherever she went. She loved me so much.

One day she appeared to a young lady with a torn dress and messed-up hair who was crying and said to her, “ Hello my dear, my name is Fairy Godmother Banana, just call me Fairy Godmother, and I am here to make sure you go to that ball!”

That’s when I came in. Godmother Banana gave me to the young lady so she could wear me. She was gentle and light so I didn’t really mind at all. After she put on the gown that Fairy Godmother had given her, she looked beautiful.

When we entered the ballroom, everyone was staring at us. A few minutes after we arrived, a handsome prince asked her to dance. While they were dancing he asked, “What is your name beautiful young lady?” She responded clearly, “My given name is Ella but I prefer Cinderella.”

I was so jolly until the clock rang indicating that it was midnight. Fairy Godmother Banana had told her that she had to be back before then. She was running so fast that I couldn’t keep up and fell off her foot on the stairs. The prince was in love with her and needed to find her to see who she was under the mask. He saw me there laying on the steps and was delighted.

For weeks he went from door to door throughout the entire village trying to find his true love. Every time I felt a foot in me, I knew that it wasn't her and I hoped and hoped that we would find her soon because many of the ladies’ feet didn’t feel or smell very pleasant. I saw that the prince wouldn't give up so I stayed strong.

After a long time of searching, he was at the only house he hadn’t checked and he tried the slipper on every lady’s foot until he tried it on the maid’s and it was a perfect fit. I knew it was her right away by how her eyes shined and how gentle and light she was.

The prince had found his true love and so had Cinderella. I was so joyful and wanted her to keep me forever.

A few years later they got married and I had the honor of being the shoe she wore. I saw that she was extremely happy and got excited myself. Their lives together were happy for the rest of their lives.

Cinderella’s Boot

By Kevin Mottram

Once upon a time there lived an old boot. “That’s me, I’m the old boot, and this is my story. I was happy being an old boot, mostly because I didn’t have to help anyone. Everything was perfect, until a fairy godmother ruined my life. She took me to some house near the prince’s castle where apparently a girl was living with her evil step sisters. Her name was Cinderella.

And I’m pretty sure that’s not a real name. One look at this I knew how this was going to go. The same thing happened to my cousins when they got into the feet of a girl with a dog named “Toto”. Cinderella wanted to go to the ball, but she was filthy. To be honest I felt bad for her, so I decided to stay and see what happens. But now I regret my decision.

With a wave of her hand, the fairy godmother turned me and one of Cinderella’s shoes into a pair of glass slippers. The next thing I knew I was in a carriage going to the ball. As soon as we got to the castle the prince fall in love with Cinderella. And when I thought I was going to be miserable the whole night, I fell in love too. The other glass slipper was beautiful, and I thought she was kind even to me.

As Cinderella and the prince danced, we danced as well. For the first time in my life, I was happier than I was being alone. But then the clock struck midnight and when Cinderella ran away I was left behind. I thought my life was really over, but luckily the prince found me. So the prince searched all over the kingdom until finally we reached Cinderella’s house.

Of course foul play was afoot, the evil stepsisters tried to put me on before Cinderella could. But no matter how hard they tried they couldn’t put me on, plus their feet were stinky. Finally Cinderella came and put me on and I fit on her foot. I soon realized why the fairy godmother brought me here. She wanted me to help for once and it felt good. And they lived happily ever after.

A Cinderella Story

By:Savannah Shadburn

Hi,my name is Alondra. My parents are Leo and Scarlet. I was made June 11, 2005. I was a size 1 when I was a baby. As you probably guessed I am a shoe--not any kind of shoe, though; we are high heels. I also have a twin sister. Her name is Savannah. My sister and I get along not like most sisters.

As the years went by we became a pair. You see, you don't have a choice when you have a twin. You have to be their pair, but if you have a sibling, not a twin, you can get married to the perfect shoe and then you are a pair with that person. Also most girls are lefts, and most guys are rights. You have to have a right and a left shoe to be a pair. Lucky for me and my twin we are a pair. I am right and Savannah is left. I am worth more than her because most girls are lefts and I am a right. Also when shoes turn 20 they turn into glass.

Savannah and I have been with many people before because we are 19. We are very excited for tomorrow is our birthday!! We have been in this box for so long. Savannah and I are sick and tired for not being used in forever!! There is one good thing there is this beautiful dress with us.

Today there was a woman cleaning … us!! We have not been touched and felt in forever, It is amazing. The warmth of her hand is like the sun beaming now on us.

It is our birthday!! So that means we are 20!! Remember when you turn 20 we turn into glass!! We are a beautiful blue glass. Blue glass means we are the highest type of glass. You could say we are princesses!! It is about 6:00 and Cinderella has put us on.

We can’t tell where we are. There is lots of shoes and music. Oh, I know--we are at a ball. There are so many shoes to talk to!!! It is 11:45pm and I am so tired. We have been dancing all night.

Wait why are we running!!! I am so scared I am holding on for my life!!! Savannah said “HANG ON!!”

I am on a step. It is cold and rainy. The worst part is I am alone I have no one. I feel as if someone had taken a hammer and crushed me into lots of pieces. I feel my heart pounding as my heart is saying NO don’t set here and do nothing there is always another way. My mind though knows all is lost, but my eyes are looking for someone anyone.

There is no one.

Finally there is someone. It has been like eternity. Well it has only been five minutes but an eternity is what it felt like. The man picks me up and carries me inside. The man is dressed up very nice. He’s very—I mean very--handsome. He is so handsome Idon’t feel cold anymore or is it because I am inside now. Oh well it doesn’t matter.

I overhear the man saying he is looking for Cinderella. I say, “I KNOW CINDERELLA,I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!,” but he can’t hear me. It is like I am the T.V when you turn it on mute. I feel so small in the world. It is like screaming at someone but they can’t hear you. Like my tongue was chopped off. It sucks when no one can hear you!

The next day we went to lots of houses. No one was wearing their right shoe. I wonder why. Then i remember I am a right shoe! Then the man bent over and said to the woman TRY ME ON!! Why me--I only like Cinderella!! There were lots ladies who tried me on. So where big, some were tiny, some were long or wide, some had hair and others didn’t. Oh my bad if you thought I was talking about the lady's size. I wasn’t I was talking about the foot.

It was dark we when we arrived to the last house. There was an old lady and her two daughters. The older lady didn't fit me. The two daughters tried as hard as they could but they didn't fit me either. Then there was CINDERELLA!! Cinderella tried me on and of course I fit her. I love Cinderella's foot. It smells like flowers.

The man was so happy, but the older woman and her two daughters weren't. I wonder why? The next day Cinderella and the man got married. Everyone was at the wedding. It was a pretty wedding, but my twin and I were not on her feet! Does she remember I am the reason she is getting married!!

Well, to her I am a silly old shoe.

Cinderella’s Right Shoe

By Jacob Zuniga

Foreverland police station 18:06.

Alright bring the shoe in.

Hey get your hands off me I'm a royal shoe. I don’t have to be here.

If you’re a “royal” shoe why is your text in comic sans?

No it’s no- oh so you’re right.

Just tell us the story and you can leave.

Ok I’ll tell you if the writer gives me a new font.

Ok writer you heard him.

Ahhbetter.Ok now I’ll tell you. This is the story of how I became that blond girl Benderella.

About a year ago I was at a different girl’s house--Snow White was her name and she lived with seven dwarfs. My brother Lefty and I were chosen to be worn and we were excited. She put us on one at a time and went outside and played. It was snowing but she was wearing a blouse. But during a snow ball fight we started to levitate off her feet and in second we were in the air and we started to glow.

The next second we teleported to the blond girl and we were in a swamp with a floating elderly lady singing and a pumpkin and a horse. Apparently we were going to a castle. We arrived at the castle and we go in and she started to dance with a prince. His boots were nice.

We asked what was going on and they said it was a ball. She danced with the prince and I talked to the boot but when the grand clock on the wall said it was 11:55 she ran out of there faster than the horse that brought them there.

She ran and ran and made it to the house. The next day the prince went to all the houses in the town and made all the girls try me on. Some fit me but he still said no but we came to a big house an old lady let us in and I saw Cinderella. She had bad clothes and was cleaning the floor.

The old lady said “Why are you here?” and the prince asked “May the girls in the house meet me and try on the shoe?”

The old lady said “Of course” and yelled for Cinderella’s sisters to come to the living room. They all tried me on and none of them fit me. But asked Cinderella to try me on she fitted me just right.

He then looked at her and asked “Will you marry me?” and she said “yes” and so they got married and lived happily ever after.

Thanks for the story sir. You can go now. NEXT! Hello mr … Mr. Left shoe at your service.
