- (continued from previous page)mother of the little girl died. About twelve months after this the man got married to a woman that had two daughters. The man did not live long after his second marriage. He died in less than six months. When he died his wife brought her two daughters to live with her. They were very ugly looking while the other man's daughter was very nice looking. The other girls did not like her because of that so one day they took all her clothes off her and made her do all the work of the house. One day a prince that was going to get married asked all the girls that was living around to a ball because he was going to choose his wife from them. He asked the two ugly girls to the dance and the little girl was asked also but she had no clothes so her fairy God mother came and dressed her beautiful. She was the nicest at the ball and she got married to the prince.
