Her stepsisters and her stepmother did not recognize her. They thought she must be a foreign princess, for she looked so beautiful in the golden dress. They never once thought it was Cinderella, for they thought that she was sitting at home in the dirt,looking for lentils in the ashes.
The prince approached her, took her by the hand, and danced with her. Fur-thermore, he would dance with no one else. He never let go of her hand, and when-ever anyone else came and asked her to dance, he would say, She is my dance partner.
She danced until evening, and then she wanted to go home. But the prince said, I will go along and escort you, for he wanted to see to whom the beautiful girl be-longed. However, she eluded him and jumped into the pigeon coop. The prince waited until her father came, and then he told him that the unknown girl had jumped into the pigeon coop.
The old man thought, Could it be Cinderella?
He had them bring him an ax and a pick so that he could break the pigeon coop apart, but no one was inside. When they got home Cinderella was lying in the ashes,dressed in her dirty clothes. A dim little oil lamp was burning in the fireplace. Cin-derella had quickly jumped down from the back of the pigeon coop and had run to the hazel tree. There she had taken off her beautiful clothes and laid them on the grave,and the bird had taken them away again. Then, dressed in her gray smock, she had returned to the ashes in the kitchen. The next day when the festival began anew, and her parents and her stepsisters had gone again, Cinderella went to the hazel tree and said, Shake and quiver, little tree, throw gold and silver down to me. Then the bird threw down an even more magnificent dress than on the preceding day. When Cinderella appeared at the festival in this dress, everyone was astonished at her beauty. The prince had waited until she came, then immediately took her by the hand, and danced only with her. When others came and asked her to dance with them, he said, She is my dance partner.When evening came she wanted to leave, and the prince followed her, wanting to see into which house she went. But she ran away from him and into the garden be-hind the house. A beautiful tall tree stood there, on which hung the most magnificent pears. She climbed as nimbly as a squirrel into the branches, and the prince did not know where she had gone. He waited until her father came, then said to him, The unknown girl has eluded me, and I believe she has climbed up the pear tree. The father thought, Could it be Cinderella? He had an ax brought to him and cut down the tree, but no one was in it. When they came to the kitchen, Cinderella was lying there in the ashes as usual, for she had jumped down from the other side of the tree, had taken the beautiful dress back to the bird in the hazel tree, and had put on her gray smock.
