Everyone would only laugh at you."Cinderella began to cry, and then I said, "You may go if you are able to pick two bowls of lentils out of the ashes for me in one hour," thinking to myself "She will never be able to do that.” I felt bad for what I was doing I just simply couldn’t let her go to such a big festival for I knew she would feel bad having people laugh at her.She ran off to the garden off thinking that she would be able to pick out the lentils. She came back ,after only half an hour, with 2 bowls filled.The festival was growing closer and I couldn't let her come. I told her “"It's no use. You are not coming with us, for you have no clothes, and you don't know how to dance.”, I told her people would be ashamed.I then left with my 2 daughters and my husband; leaving Cinderella
