Cinderella Has a Ball!

ONCE UPON a time there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella, who lived with a wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. Her father had died at an early age, having made such unwise decisions as entering upon an unfortunate second marriage and reaching for the bottle too often. He had heard of AA, even tried it once, but, alas, felt he wasn't that bad yet. Thus poor Cinderella faced a life of misery, cooking, washing, and ironing for her stepmother and stepsisters.
