L’histoire de Cendrillon
Il était une fois une jeune fille qui s’appelait
Cendrillon. Elle habitait avec ses deux demi-sœurs
et sa belle-mère. Dans le même pays, il y avait un
prince. Il avait 19 ans, et il était célibataire. Il
voulait se marier.
There was once upon a time a young
girl named Cinderella. She lived with her two
step-sisters and her step-mother. In the same
country, there was a prince. He was 19, and he
was single. He wanted to get married.
Donc, il a décidé de préparer un grand bal
à son palais et d’inviter toutes les femmes de son
royaume. Les deux demi-sœurs et la belle-mère de
Cendrillon ont mis leurs robes élégantes, mais
quand Cendrillon a demandé si elle pouvait aller,
les mauvaises femmes ont dit que non.
So, he decided to organize a dance at
his palace and invite all the women in the
kingdom. Cinderella’s two step-sisters and
step-mother put on elegant dresses, but when
Cinderella asked if she could go, the evil
women said no.
Les trois femmes sont parties pour le bal.
Cendrillon pleurait quand, tout à coup, la pauvre
fille a vu une fée qui lui a demandé pourquoi elle
pleurait. Cendrillon lui a expliqué ses larmes.
The three women left for the dance.
Cinderalla was crying when, suddenly, the poor
girl saw a fairy who asked her why she was
crying. Cinderella explained her tears.
La fée a agité son bâton magique. Les
haillons de Cendrillon sont devenus une robe
superbe. Elle a regardé ses pieds. Elle portait des
souliers de verre ! Le seul problème était qu’elle
avait besoin de rentrer avant minuit ; autrement
elle risquait d’avoir de grands problèmes.
The fairy waved her magic wand.
Cinderella’s rags became a beautiful dress. She
looked at her feet. She was wearing glass
slippers! The only problem was that she
needed to get home before midnight; if not,
she was in danger of having big problems.
Elle est allée au bal, et elle a dansé avec le
prince pendant trois heures. À onze heures
quarante, elle a remarqué qu’il était presque
minuit ! Si elle ne voulait pas de problèmes, elle
avait besoin de partir immédiatement !
She went to the ball, and she danced
with the prince for three hours. At 11:40, she
noticed that it was almost midnight! If she
didn’t want any problems, she needed to leave
immediately!
Pendant qu’elle quittait le palais…
As she was leaving the palace…
