Cinderella
Residents of a fairy-tale kingdom, ah, residents of a fairy-tale kingdom! This is me speaking, the royal herald. Do you hear me? Oh, what good news I was told to convey to you! Everything is ready for the ball in the royal palace! Invited to the ball, oh, invited to the ball! Don't forget that you are invited! Something amazing will definitely happen at the ball! It’s not for nothing that our kingdom is fabulous. Come, don’t forget, honestly, you won’t regret it! The king got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, personally wiped the dust on the main staircase... Then he visited the kitchen, quarreled with the chief cook, was angry with the throne, but then changed his anger to mercy and is now running along the royal road, checking if everything is in order . Look, see? - Hello, Mr. Forester. -Hello, Your Royal Majesty! Listen, forester, I have long wanted to ask you, why have you been shuddering lately?.. In.. And looking around. Has a monster appeared in the forest threatening you with death? -No, Your Majesty, I would have stabbed the monster right away. -So, maybe robbers appeared in the forest? - What are you talking about, sir, I would immediately kick them out! Maybe some evil wizard is chasing you? -No, Your Majesty, I would have dealt with him long ago. -Well then, what brought you to this state? -My wife. -Well, yes? - I swear to you, I married a very pretty but stern woman and they are twisting ropes out of me. They are the wife and her two daughters from her first marriage. It's been the third day they've been dressing for the royal ball and they've completely driven us away. We are me and my own tiny daughter. -Became a stepdaughter because of my weakness. -I'm leaving, leaving, immediately! To the monastery! If such heartbreaking events are possible in my kingdom. Live as you please. -Shame, shame, forester. -Hush, hush, sir, my estate is nearby! If my wife hears, I’m dead! Don’t judge me. My wife is a special woman. Her own sister, exactly like her, was eaten by a cannibal. He got poisoned and died. -Do you see how poisonous the characters are in this family?! -Okay, okay.. Okay, so be it, I remain on the throne, give me the crown. Forget everything, forester, and come to my ball and take your own daughter with you. Cinderella? Why, sir, she’s still just a baby. Well, as you know, but just keep in mind that I will have a holiday that will make you forget all your troubles and sorrows. Farewell. Everyone is here. Watch. Panicle. Frying pans. Poker. Fire, hearth. Let's have a heart-to-heart talk, friends. Cuckoo. Do you know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking about this... Mother and sisters were invited to the ball. I am not here, I am out. It's not fair. Right? They will dance with the prince. And he had never even heard of me. They will eat ice cream. But not me. Although no one in the world loves him as much as I do. While scrubbing the floor, I learned to dance.

I hate the old forester woman, and her daughters too. I would have punished them long ago, but they have such great connections! They don’t love anyone, don’t think about anything, don’t know how to do anything, don’t do anything, but manage to live better even than some real fairies. - (Fairy)
It's good for boys to fall hopelessly in love. Then they start writing poetry, and I love it. - (Fairy)
