Everyone likes the beautifulCinderella, but I like theugly stepsister.The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store, I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown-ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. "Look,Mother," I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, "Cinderella." Before my eyes was the most beautifuldollI had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal(水晶)shoes. The tiny tiara(冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
"If only she were mine," I dreamed. "We'd have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince." But to mydisappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. "But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you onChristmasmorning, Madge," she said. "I promise." Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. "Bet you don't know what this is!" she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see.
"My Christmas doll!" Iyelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. "So much to my surprise!" Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at theball. It wouldn't be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
