One day, a fairy disguised as an ugly, old woman came to the house where Cinderella, her step-mother and two step-sisters lived. Please, may I beg you for a piece of bread? I am so hungry. If we gave food to every beggar we met, we would have nothing left for ourselves. Yes! And we would starve to death. Now go away! The old woman turned and walked away, but Cinderella felt sorry for her and decided to give her what little food she had . Just where do you think you are going? Uh, I am just going outside to get some fresh air for a minute. You have only half a minute. You have all these dishes to wash! Cinderella knew her evil step-sisters must not see her giving food to the poor old lady, or she would be punished. She had to hurry. She quickly ran to the gate before the woman left. Please, kind lady, don't go away hungry. Take my dinner. Is that all you have to eat, my child? Yes, but I am not hungry. I am young, and you are old. You need it more than I. Thank you, my child. What is your name? My name is Cinderella. Well, Cinderella. You are a very kind girl and will surely be rewarded for this.
