Readerella

This beautiful girl promises her mother to be good and brave, to exercise every day and read interesting stories about faraway countries.
“Keep healthy in mind and body,” her mother says.
After her mother dies,she exercises every day and reads interesting stories about faraway countries. She has to be healthy in mind and body.

Very soon her father gets married to a plump ugly lady, as plump and ugly as a pig in a bun.She has two skinny ugly daugthers, as skinny and ugly as sticks in silk. The worry about their hair and dresses and they always laugh at the beautiful girl because she reads interesting stories about faraway countries. They are very cruel and they call her Readerella.

Poor beautiful girl!!She cleans the floors, washes the clothes of all the family, removes the ashes from the fireplace, lights the fire, and carrries water from the river.
Her clothes are dirtier and older now, but she is happy because she exercises a lot and reads interesting stories about faraway countries.

The Prince is looking for a healthy intelligent princess.The King organises a marathon and invites all the girls of the kingdom.Readerella’s skinny ugly stepsisters prepare for the competition.
Is Readerella going to run in the marathon?
Of coures, she is!!! Her Fairy Godmother appears and with a touch of her wand, she turns a coat hunger into the fastest bicycle ever. She gives Readerella the nicest outfit and the most modern running shoes, too.
“Come back right after the marathon!” Fairy Godmother says, “Your bicycle is going to turn into a coat hanger again!”

As fast as a hare, Readerella gets to the castle riding the fastest bicycle ever. She is really fit and healthier and more intelligent than her skinny ugly stepsisters.She wins the competition without any effort. Before she comes back, she drops a running shoe! There is no time to pick it up, so Readerella rides back to her house before the fastest bicycle ever turns into a coat hanger again.

The Prince is looking for the healthiest and the most intelligent princess. He has got her running shoe. When he knocks at the door, Readerella’s skinny ugly stepsisters want to put the shoe on, but it does no fit.
Readerella puts it on very easily and shows the prince the other shoe. She is the healthiest and the most intelligent princess in the kingdom.
The Prince and Readerella get marrid and live happily ever after and.... What about her plump ugly stepmother and her skinny ugly stepsisters? They are doing gym now!!!
