They sent for the best tire-woman they could get to make up their head-dresses and adjust their double pinners , and they had their red brushes and patches from Mademoiselle de la Poche . Cinderella was likewise called up to them to be consulted in all these matters , for she had excellent notions , and advised them always for the best , nay , and offered her services to dress their heads , which they were very willing she should do . As she was doing this , they said to her : `` Cinderella , would you not be glad to go to the ball ? '' `` Alas ! '' said she , `` you only jeer me ; it is not for such as I am to go thither . '' `` Thou art in the right of it , '' replied they ; `` it would make the people laugh to see a Cinderwench at a ball . '' Anyone but Cinderella would have dressed their heads awry , but she was very good , and dressed them perfectly well They were almost two days without eating , so much were they transported with joy . They broke above a dozen laces in trying to be laced up close , that they might have a fine slender shape , and they were continually at their looking-glass . At last the happy day came ; they went to Court , and Cinderella followed them with her eyes as long as she could , and when she had lost sight of them , she fell a-crying . Her godmother , who saw her all in tears , asked her what was the matter . `` I wish I could -- I wish I could -- '' ; she was not able to speak the rest , being interrupted by her tears and sobbing . This godmother of hers , who was a fairy , said to her , `` Thou wishest thou couldst go to the ball ; is it not so ? '' `` Y -- es , '' cried Cinderella , with a great sigh . `` Well , '' said her godmother , `` be but a good girl , and I will contrive that thou shalt go . '' Then she took her into her chamber , and said to her , `` Run into the garden , and bring me a pumpkin . '' Cinderella went immediately to gather the finest she could get , and brought it to her godmother , not being able to imagine how this pumpkin could make her go to the ball . Her godmother scooped out all the inside of it , having left nothing but the rind ; which done , she struck it with her wand , and the pumpkin was instantly turned into a fine coach , gilded all over with gold . She then went to look into her mouse-trap , where she found six mice , all alive , and ordered Cinderella to lift up a little the trapdoor , when , giving each mouse , as it went out , a little tap with her wand , the mouse was that moment turned into a fine horse , which altogether made a very fine set of six horses of a beautiful mouse-colored dapple-gray . Being at a loss for a coachman , `` I will go and see , '' says Cinderella , `` if there is never a rat in the rat-trap -- we may make a coachman of him . '' `` Thou art in the right , '' replied her godmother ; `` go and look . ''
Cinderella brought the trap XXXXX her , and in it there were three huge rats .
