Cinderella’s Revolting Story

          Well... you probably know me, but you don’t know my story, my damn story. I’m gonna tell you my real story. As all of you may know, my dad has died and I’m living with my two half-sisters and my damn witch stepmother. You also know that they (you can call them “bitches”) are too evil and I am the poor and naive girl who works as a house cleaner for them. So, let me tell what is different...
            Throughout the story, there is a fairy godmother who makes some things turn into other things with magic, like a pumpkin into a carriage. So far so great, but hmm, you don’t think that she would do anything for free, right? Oh, do you? Well, well, fairy tales are always tricking you. How long, Gosh?! So, basically, she does things for free, but have you ever heard that you should always be suspicious when something is too easy to get or someone is giving it to you without asking anything back? If you haven’t, start to think about it.
            Anyway, there is a prince, right? All of the fairy tales bring a prince... bleh, I can’t believe how stupid princes can be. Moreover, I don’t even know what happens in the princesses’ mind to fall in love with them. I think it’s because of the money, of course. Sorry, I’m destroying your childhood, but this is the truth.
            Well, I’m not like those princesses, because they all (or most of them) had a good life compared to mine. Were they cursed? Really? Like sleeping forever or something like that? Hmm, nothing compared to my curse! I didn’t need magic or witchcraft to be cursed. I’d rather sleep for a thousand years or marry a beast than staying up all day and night cleaning the house, the basement, and even parts of the house that I didn’t know! These are the reasons why I’m so angry at my sad life and the good life that the other princesses have got.
            So, I guess you think that my life has changed after my fairy godmother came. YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG! I’ll be very brief: she was wonderful when she came over, she promised me a better life... well, there was a prince in her plans, I didn’t really care but it was free and I couldn’t complain about it, right? Alright, she made me very excited and I had to go to the ball that the king was organising. She said that I was the most beautiful lady in the ballroom and I believed her. But wow, I don’t know how she managed to look so pretty, and OH MY GOD, she made me say things that I DON’T KNOW HOW but I said to the prince about her, things that leave me really confused. Such as how pretty she was, or perhaps, the prettiest lady in the whole world. Well, she was cute indeed, but she seemed a little old, I’m not trying to disrespect anyone, but which prince wants an old woman? But believe me or not, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, I was open-mouthed. But that has passed. Now I’m frustrated and too angry!! Nowadays, the prince lives under a spell that makes him love her and do everything she wants to! Stupid...
          I guess you want to know what happened to my stepmother and my two half-sisters. Well... I ran away from there. There are rumours that they are living very well. And what the hell, my stepmother married the king. Oh Gosh, do you want to know what happened to me? Really? Get prepared because it’s not what you were expecting. I’m living in the forest and the only thing that makes me happy is that my mice friends are always with me. And guess what?! I’m living with Tarzan and Jane!!! They are very nice and kind with us. 
          So, I’m sorry if I ruined what you thought about fairy tales, princes, princesses and fairy godmothers. Well, behind every story, there is a lie, right? And, wow, what a lie my story is, yeah?!
