Cinderela, sebuah cerita klasik dari negara barat yang sudah lama dikenal di seluruh jagat raya, termasuk di Indonesia. Namun kebanyakan yang saya temukan di Indonesia terutama di internet adalah cerita yang sudah diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia, dan agak kesulitan untuk menemukan cerita Cinderela dalam bahasa Inggris. Ini adalah kendala yang ditemui anak-anak sekolah yang datang ke warnet saya dalam rangka mencari cerita Cinderela dalam bahasa Inggris sebagai tugas pelajaran bahasa Inggris. Berikut ini saya tampilkan sebuah cerita Cinderela yang aslinya sudah disadur ke dalam bahasa Indonesia, tapi kemudian saya ubah lagi dengan bantuan Google Translate ke dalam bahasa Inggris dan dengan sedikit pembenahan. Jika anda menemukan kekurangan atau kesalahan dalam cerita berikut, terutama dalam hal grammar atau lainnya, harap anda tulis koreksinya dalam comment sebagai koreksi bagi saya juga. Terima kasih.
