Cinderalla
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step
mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very
badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing
the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters,
on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome
dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the kings son was
going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the
dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it.
Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.
Why are crying, Cinderella? a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother
standing beside her, because I want so much to go to the ball said Cinderella. Well said
the godmother,youve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am
going to see that you do go to the ball.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a
coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderellas raged dress with her wand,
and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. Now,
Cinderella, she said; You must leave before midnight. Then away she drove in her
beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the kings
son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she
could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted
the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter
how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the kings page let Cinderella try on the
slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The kings son was overjoyed to see her again. They
were married and live happily ever after.
1. Orientation: it means to introduce the participants or the characters of the story with the
time and place set. Orientation actually exists in every text type though it has different term.

Story. They were Cinderella her self as the main character of the story, her step mother which
treated Cinderella badly, and her steps sister which supported her mother to make Cinderella
was treated very badly. Cinderella was introduced as a hero in this story. She struggled
against the bad treatment from her step mother and sisters.
2. Complication: it is such the crisis of the story. If there is not the crisis, the story is not a
narrative text. In a long story, the complication appears in several situations. It means that
some time there is more then one complication. In this Cinderella story, we can see clearly
that there are Major Complication and Minor Complication.
The second paragraph is the major complication of this Cinderella story. Cinderella got bad
treatment from her stepmother. It is the bad crisis which drives into several minor
complications which Cinderella has to overcome.
3. Resolution: it is the final series of the events which happen in the story. The resolution can
be good or bad. The point is that it has been accomplished by the characters. Like

In the last paragraph, it is said that finally Cinderella lived happily. It is the happy resolution
of the bad treatment.
