Meeting 3

Once upon a time, there lived a gentleman, who after his beautiful and
kind wife died, married the proudest and meanest woman in all the land. She had
two daughters from a previous marriage who were just as nasty and haughty as
their mother. The gentleman also had a young daughter by another wife named
Cinderella, who was filled with goodness and was one of the sweetest girls the
kingdom had ever seen. Cinderellas stepmother was extremely jealous of her
beauty and made her do the hardest and most dreadful work in the house.
 137

Cinderella did the dishes, scrubbed the floor and made the bed all while her step-
sisters rested on fancy beds had fun playing dress-up.

Now it so happened that the Kings son decided to give a ball, inviting all
the young ladies in the land to attend. Cinderellas step-mother and step-sisters
were delighted, and would talk of nothing but the ball all day long. They sent for
the greatest designers in the kingdom to ensure that they looked their best.
Cinderella offered to help them get ready for the ball for she had excellent taste
and despite how her step-sisters treated her, she always gave them the best advice.

As she helped them, the eldest sister asked, Cinderella, are you not going
to the ball? Cinderella sadly lowered her head and said, No, youre only teasing
me because I have nothing to wear and wouldnt fit in. Perhaps I could borrow
something? Lend our clothes to such a dirty Cinderwench? Were not fools!
they exclaimed. The sisters laughed cruelly and said, You would make everyone
laugh at the sight of you, you Cinderwench! When the big day finally came,
Cinderella accompanied her step-mother and step-sisters to the Court, and
couldnt help but burst into tears as she watched them enter the beautiful ball.

As she wept, Cinderellas fairy godmother appeared. Cinderella, why are

you crying? she asked. You wish to attend the ball, is that not so? Yes, cried
Cinderella, between sobs. The fairy godmother smiled and said, Well, run into
the garden and bring me a pumpkin. Cinderella immediately went to get the
finest pumpkin she could find.
When she brought it, her godmother struck the pumpkin with her wand, instantly
turning it into a fine coach, plated with gold and silver. Next, she had Cinderella
find some mice, and when she brought the furry little creatures back the fairy
godmother tapped them each with her wand, turning them into six fine horses and
a coachman. Well what do you say? Do you still think you are not able to attend
the ball? asked her godmother. Oh yes! cried Cinderella, but should I go
looking like this, in these rags? Her godmother only touched her with her wand
and instantly Cinderellas rags turned into a dress of white and silver, sparkling
with jewels.
 138

To top it off, fairy godmother gave Cinderella a pair of glass slippers, the
prettiest in the whole world. The spell only lasts until midnight, so promise you
will leave the ball before then, warned the Godmother. Cinderella promised to
return before midnight, thanked her again and drove off to the ball.

When Cinderella made her entrance, the dancing and music stopped as
everyone turned to gaze at her beauty. No one recognized her, she was a complete
mystery.
The Prince rushed up to greet her, led her to the most honorable seat by his side
and later took her out for a dance. Cinderella even made time to approach her
step-sisters, who still did not recognize her, and shared some of the oranges the
prince had presented to her as a gift. The Prince never left her side, and Cinderella
was enjoying herself so much that she completely forgot the time!

When the clock struck midnight, Cinderella was shocked and fled
immediately, leaving one of her glass slippers behind in her haste. The Prince ran
to follow her, but only managed to pick up the glass slipper she left behind.
Cinderella managed to get home, but was quite out of breath and in her dirty old
clothes. She was resting in bed when her two step-sisters stumbled into her room.
You stayed really late! cried Cinderella, rubbing her eyes and stretching as if
she had been sleeping. If you had been there you would have seen the most
beautiful princess, exclaimed the eldest sister, she was so nice to us and had the
undivided attention of the Prince. Her background is a mystery and the Prince
would give anything to know who she was, said the youngest.

A few days later the Prince declared that he would marry the woman
whose foot fit in the slipper. His soldiers began to try the slipper on all the
princesses and duchesses in the Court, but it was all in vain. Days later, it was
brought to the two sisters who tried with all their might to make the slipper fit.
Cinderella, who saw this, politely asked to try it. Her sisters burst out laughing at
the idea, but the Prince ordered that everyone in the kingdom should have a try.
When Cinderellas foot slid perfectly into the slipper, her sisters were astonished.

Cinderellas fairy godmother appeared and with the flick of her wand
 139

turned Cinderella into the beautiful girl from the ball. The step-sisters dropped to
their knees and begged for forgiveness for the awful way they treated her over the
years. Cinderella lifted them up and embraced them, saying she forgave them with
all her heart. Cinderella was then escorted to the Prince, dressed as beautiful as
she was at the ball. A few days later they were married.

Long time ago in a house that overlooked a beautiful garden lived a

childless couple. They prayed to God every day to bless them with a child. One
day they found that God had answered their prayer. They were at long last going
to have a baby!

Their days passed in happiness but alas! the wife fell ill. She would eat
nothing and the husband was worried that she would waste away. He tried to
tempt her with many good things but she refused everything. But you must eat
something, my dear, he begged her. There is a herb called Rapunzel in the
 140

garden next door. I will feel better if I can eat that, she said. The husbands heart
sank when he heard her. This garden was owned by a wicked witch who would let
no one enter. But he loved his wife very much and so with a pounding heart, he
decided to go into the garden at a time when the witch was away. One day,
finding an appropriate time he went into the gar den. He had managed to pluck the
herb but as he was about to leave, the wicked witch came back. You thief! How
dare you enter my garden? she screamed. She threatened to put a curse on him.
He fell at her feet and begged, Please dont curse me. If my wife doesnt eat this
herb, she will die. She is going to have a baby and is very ill. The witch stopped
to think awhile. I will let you go on one condition. You will give me the baby
after its born. The poor man had no other way out but to agree.

He took the herb to his wife and miraculously she soon recovered and
gave birth to a beautiful girl. But as per the agreement the witch came to take the
baby away. She took Rapunzel for thats what she named her far away and locked
her in a high tower. The tower had no doors or stairs. There was only a window
on top. The only person whom Rapunzel ever saw was the wicked witch.
Rapunzel grew up to become beautiful with pretty eyes, a beautiful voice, and her
golden hair grew very, very long. All day long, when Rapunzel was alone, she
would sing and weep. Every day, the wicked witch came to the tower with food.
She stood at the bottom of the tower and shouted. Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let your
hair down! Rapunzel would drop her long, braided hair through the window. The
witch used the hair as a rope to climb into the tower.

One day, a handsome prince was passing by and heard her sing. He fell in
love with her voice and unknown to all came to the tower every day to hear her
sing. One day, the prince saw the witch climbing up the tower using Rapunzels
hair. The next day, the prince too called out to Rapunzel. Let down your hair, he
said. The prince climbed to the top of the tower. After that, the prince came to
meet Rapunzel every night. The witch soon discovered the prince with Rapunzel.
She pushed him from the tower in to a thorny bush, making him blind. She
banished Rapunzel into the desert far away.
 141

Many years passed. The blind prince wandered alone and finally reached
the same desert. One day, he heard familiar voice singing. Following the sound he
found her. They hugged each other in joy. Tears of happiness rolled down
Rapuzels cheek. As the tears fell on the princes eyes, he regained his vision. The
prince took Rapunzel to his kingdom and they lived happily ever after.

old woman. She said that she kept the clothes and would give them back to
Bawang Putih if she helped the old woman do the household chores. Bawang
 142

Putih helped her happily. After everything was finished, the old woman returned
the clothes. She also gave Bawang Putih a gift. The old woman had two
pumpkins, one pumpkin was small and the other one was bigger. Bawang Putih
had to choose one.

Bawang Putih was not a greedy girl. So she took the small one. After
thanking the old woman, Bawang Putih then went home. When she arrived home,
her stepmother and Bawang Merah were angry. They had been waiting for her all
day long. Bawang Putih then told about the clothes, the old woman, and the
pumpkin. Her mother was really angry so she grabbed the pumpkin and smashed
it to the floor. Suddenly they all were surprised. Inside the pumpkin they found
jewelries.

Bawang Merah, hurry up. Go to the river and throw my clothes into the
water. After that, find the old woman. Remember, you have to take the big
pumpkin, the stepmother asked Bawang Merah to do exactly the same as
Bawang Putihs experience. Bawang Merah immediately went to the river. She
threw the clothes and pretended to search them. Not long after that, she met the
old woman. Again she asked Bawang Merah to do household chores. She refused
and asked the old woman to give her a big pumpkin.

She ran very fast. When she arrived home, her mother was impatient. She directly
smashed the pumpkin to the floor. They were screaming. There were a lot of
snakes inside the pumpkin! They were really scared. They were afraid the snakes
would bite them. Mom, I think God just punished us. We had done bad things to
Bawang Putih. And God didnt like that. We have to apologize to Bawang Putih,
