Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said "Meow" which really meant..."Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty."It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy, and ugly and always would be.
