- A Different Cinderella
- by JIPsoft 27. February 1992
-
- Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Cinderella. Unlike most
- princesses, she wasn't a slave of a handsome prince nor chained forever into a
- dungeon. She lived in a cottage with her step-mother and two step-sisters. They
- treated her almost like a slave, but not exactly like a slave, which she would
- rather want.
- One day, an envoy of the king came and said that the prince wants to have
- slaves. Every beautiful maiden was to come to the palace where there would be a
- contest of selecting the best slave material. Of course, the step-sisters
- wanted to be the prince's slaves, so they dressed in their most beautiful
- dresses and the step-mother chained, gagged and harnessed them to a carriage in
- which they pulled her to the palace.
-
- Poor Cinderella was left alone in her room, with her housework to do. She began
- to sob, because she was true of heart and more suitable for a slave. Just that
- moment, her fairy godmother appeared. She summoned a lovely dress, which was
- made of rubber and had cloth stripes all over and an area of transparent
- plastic which showed through her breasts. While she put it on, the godmother
- summoned the strongest chains and gag, and used them on Cinderella.
- "Ah, and now for the transport.", said the godmother as she summoned a fine
- carriage and an envoy. He harnessed Cinderella to the carriage and got in.
- Cinderella began to pull it into the palace.
- When they got there palace, the envoy stepped out. Unharnessing Cinderella, he
- said "the girl's codenamed Ashie." and left. Cinderella walked inside the
- palace to be greeted by several other young girls also chained and gagged. The
- prince said "I will hold four tests for you. The winner will be my personal
- slave, and the runner-ups will do the housework of the palace. The rest of you
- will be thrown to special dungeons at the bottom of the sea."
-
- The first test began. The prince's assistent opened the girls' leg chains and
- they were ordered to dance. While her step-sisters were clumsy and fell over
- time after time, Cinderella herself danced light and fast as a feather. The
- prince said, "'Ashie' is the winner."
- Then came the second test. The girls were leg chained again and were ordered
- to clean the floor which was dirtied before. In the time the step-sisters had
- cleaned a quarter of their area, 'Ashie' had cleaned her whole area and a half
- of her neighbour's. She won again.
-
- The third test was the most surprising. Firstly, the prince ordered some armed
- guards to stand on the balcony surrounding the ball-room. Then, his assistant
- opened the girls' leg and arm chains. "Ladies," the prince spoke, "perhaps you
- have wondered why I have freed you from your chains. The reason is simple: You
- now have to strip yourselves naked. The one who strips the most temptingly and
- looks the prettiest naked wins."
- At that instant, every girl was mumbling, chaning her position and undressing
- herself. The step-sisters simply took all their clothes off while standing
- still. They were not even looked upon by the prince. But when Cinderella's turn
- came, she undressed herself with such lure that the prince almost drooled as he
- claimed 'Ashie' the winner.
-
- The girls put their clothes back on and were chained. The fourth test was about
- to begin. The prince said that it was a test of intelligence. Each girl was
- given a pen and had her arm chains opened for writing purposes. An assistant
- wrote several riddles on a blackboard. At the prince's command, every girl
- turned away, revealed her breasts, and wrote the answers on them. Then, they
- put their shirts back on.
- At the sound of a bell, the girls turned to face the prince, and each was in
- turn to re-reveal her breasts so the prince could see the answers. The
- step-sisters had got all the answers wrong, but Cinderella had them all right.
-
- Just when the prince was about to enslave her, the clock began to strike
- midnight. To everybody's amazement, Cinderella opened her leg chains and ran
- away. She only left a shoe which was made of fur. Back home, her beautiful
- dress vanished with her chains and gag, and she was left with her ordinary work
- clothes. She thought that now she would never be a slave.
- The prince found the shoe and commenced a search for the girl to whom it
- would fit. He had tried every single pretty girl in town, including the
- step-sisters, who in fact were the most certainly not the shoe's owner, when
- his eyes met Cinderella.
- Her step-mother and step-sisters began to laugh, but it was cut short when
- the shoe fit Cinderella perfectly. At that instant, Cinderella stood in front
- of the prince in her beatiful dress, chained and gagged.
- The prince was most delighted and walked to his palace with her. There she
- would be his slave eternally.
- And they all lived happily ever after.
-
- Nota bene: The shoe was indeed made of fur instead of glass. In the original
- French story (without slavery) it was of vair, which means fur. It was later
- confused with verre, which meant glass. They both sound the same (English
- pronouncation veh-are).
