She got home but quite out of breath , and in her nasty old clothes , having nothing left her of all her finery but one of the little slippers , fellow to that she dropped . The guards at the palace gate were asked : If they had not seen a princess go out . Who said : They had seen nobody go out but a young girl , very meanly dressed , and who had more the air of a poor country wench than a gentlewoman . When the two sisters returned from the ball Cinderella asked them : If they had been well diverted , and if the fine lady had been there . They told her : Yes , but that she hurried away immediately when it struck twelve , and with so much haste that she dropped one of her little glass slippers , the prettiest in the world , which the King 's son had taken up ; that he had done nothing but look at her all the time at the ball , and that most certainly he was very much in love with the beautiful person who owned the glass slipper . What they said was very true ; for a few days after the King 's son caused it to be proclaimed , by sound of trumpet , that he would marry her whose foot the slipper would just fit . They whom he employed began to try it upon the princesses , then the duchesses and all the Court , but in vain ; it was brought to the two sisters , who did all they possibly could to thrust their foot into the slipper , but they could not effect it . Cinderella , who saw all this , and knew her slipper , said to them , laughing : `` Let me see if it will not fit me . '' Her sisters burst out a-laughing , and began to banter her . The gentleman who was sent to try the slipper looked earnestly at Cinderella , and , finding her very handsome , said : It was but just that she should try , and that he had orders to let everyone make trial . He obliged Cinderella to sit down , and , putting the slipper to her foot , he found it went on very easily , and fitted her as if it had been made of wax . The astonishment her two sisters were in was excessively great , but still abundantly greater when Cinderella pulled out of her pocket the other slipper , and put it on her foot . Thereupon , in came her godmother , who , having touched with her wand Cinderella 's clothes , made them richer and more magnificent than any of those she had before . And now her two sisters found her to be that fine , beautiful lady whom they had seen at the ball . They threw themselves at her feet to beg pardon for all the ill-treatment they had made her undergo . Cinderella took them up , and , as she embraced them , cried : That she forgave them with all her heart , and desired them always to love her . She was conducted to the young prince , dressed as she was ; he thought her more charming than ever , and , a few days after , married her . Cinderella , who was no less good than beautiful , gave her two sisters lodgings in the palace , and that very same day matched them with two great lords of the Court . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- Charles Perrault . ALADDIN AND THE WONDERFUL LAMP There once lived a poor tailor , who had a son called Aladdin , a careless , idle boy who would do nothing but play ball all day long in the streets with little idle boys like himself .
This so grieved the father XXXXX he died ; yet , in spite of his mother 's tears and prayers , Aladdin did not mend his ways .
