A Fractured Fairy Tale
What is a fairy tale?
A fairy tale is “a story in which improbable
events lead to a happy ending” (“Fairy

What is a fractured fairy tale?
A fractured fairy tale is “a story that uses fairy
tales you know and changes the characters,
setting, points of view, or plots” (“Fractured
fairy tales”, 2006, para 1).
The Original Story
As told by “Short story”
Once upon a time, there was a
beautiful girl named Cinderella. She
lived with her wicked stepmother and
two stepsisters. They treated
Cinderella very badly. One day, they
were invited to a grand ball in the
king’s palace. But Cinderella’s
stepmother would not let her go. She
and her two stepsisters went to the
ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home.
Cinderella felt very sad and began to
cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother
appeared and said, “Don’t cry,
Cinderella! I will send you to the ball!”
The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed
Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful new gown! The
fairy godmother then touched Cinderella’s feet with the
magic wand and she had beautiful glass slippers! “How
will I go to the grand ball?” asked Cinderella. The fairy
godmother found a pumpkin and mice and touched them
with her magic wand and the mice became shiny horses
and coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden
coach. Cinderella was overjoyed and set off for the ball in
the coach. Before leaving, the fairy godmother said,
“Cinderella, this magic will
only last until midnight! You
must be home by then!”
When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck
by her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s stepmother or
stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes
and shoes. The handsome prince also saw her and fell in
love with Cinderella. The prince danced with her all night
and nobody recognized the beautiful dancer.
Cinderella was so happy dancing with
the prince that she almost forgot what
the fairy godmother had said. At the
last moment, Cinderella remembered
her fairy godmother’s words and
cried, “Oh! I must go!” and ran out of
the palace.
One of her glass slippers came off but
Cinderella did not turn back for it. She
reached home just as the clock struck
twelve. Her coach turned back into a
pumpkin, the horses into mice and her
fine ball gown into rags. Then, her
stepmother and stepsisters reached
home shortly after that. They were
talking about the beautiful lady who had
been dancing with the prince. The prince had fallen in love
with Cinderella and wanted to find out who she was, but he
did not even know her name. He found the glass slipper
that had come off Cinderella’s foot as she ran home. The
prince said, “I will find the lady who fits this slipper, and she
will be the one I marry!”
The next day, the prince and his servants took the glass
slipper and went to all the houses in the kingdom. They
wanted to find the lady whose feet would fit in the
slipper. All the women in the kingdom tried the slipper
but it would not fit any of them. Cinderella’s stepsisters
also tried on the little glass slipper but it didn’t fit.
Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her try the slipper
on, but the prince saw her
and said, “Let her try on the
slipper!” The slipper fit her
perfectly and the prince
recognized her from the ball.
He married Cinderella and
together they lived happily
ever after.
