Cinderella Once upon a time there lived a sweet little girl called Ella. Her mother had died when she was a child. And soon her father too died. She lived with her mean stepmother and her two proud step-sisters. They made Ella do all the housework. "Clean the chimneys! Dust the cupboards!" "And my clothes!" they cried. The young girl was always covered in soot and dust. Hence, she was called Cinderella. One day the Prince invited all the girls in the kingdom for a Ball in the castle. Everyone including the two step-sisters were very excited. Cinderella too wanted to go to the Ball but her sisters laughed at her. "Stay at home and scrub the floors!", screamed her stepmother. The day of the Ball finally came. Her stepmother and step-sisters left Cinderella alone at home. She was so disappointed that she began to cry. Suddenly, she saw a shimmering light in the room. A woman with the kind smile and a wand stood in front of her. "Who are you?" as Cinderella surprised. The woman replied, " I'm your fairy godmother. I'll help you go to the Ball. Now, do stop crying!" "But I have nothing to wear" sobbed Cinderella, I can't go to the Ball."

I have read many interesting fairy tales. But the story that impressed me the most, was still the story of the hundred-burnt bamboo tree. The story is about a hardworking and honest farmer. Because he fell in love with the rich man's daughter, he worked wholeheartedly for him, without any wages. But when the girl was about to get married, the rich man forced him to find a hundred-burnt bamboo. Although he knew it was difficult, he still had to agree to go find it. After many days of hard work and difficulty wading through the bamboo forest, the poor farmer still could not find a single bamboo tree with enough hundreds of candles. Helpless, sad, he sat down on the ground and cried. Seeing that, buddhist appeared and asked him. Knowing the source of the matter, the Buddha told him to go and cut a hundred pieces of bamboo here, and then he would teach him the mantra. Hearing that, he was very happy, hurried to cut bamboo immediately. Enough bamboo and mallow taught him the two mantras "carving in, entering and leaving" and "carving out, carving out" to put together the bamboo segments. Overjoyed, he thanked him and hurried home. Unexpectedly, at home, the rich man was getting married for his daughter and another rich man. So angry, he immediately recited the spell, stuck the landlord's name and the rich man's name on the bamboo, unable to remove it. It was not until he was willing to fulfill his promise that he released him. Finally, after many hardships, the farmer also married the person he loved.
