Day One
Daddy got married. New mum needs facelift.
Suggested Botox, she threw dishes at me.
Don't like new mum v. much.
Day Two
Met new sisters. Just as ugly as Mum, but less wrinkles.
They probably have already gotten Botox injections.
New Mum must have hard time conforming to technology.
Day Three
Sisters found diary.
Sentenced to one hundred years of chore duty.
Daddy died.
Bad day.
Day Four
Looked in mirror.
Am v. pretty, besides the layers and layers of dirt and the fact that only my dust-irritated eyes are visible above the dust rag tied around face.
Yes, v. pretty.
Day Five
Found out I have gift of talking to animals.
Birds told me they hated me.
Am v. hurt.
Day Six
Hurt feeling worn off.
I love everything.
Day Seven
Sister told me that mice left presents in my bed.
V. touched.
Ooh! Candy!
Day Eight
Wasn't candy.
Don't feel very well.
Day Nine
Feel better.
I love everything!
Day Ten
Ugly guy came announcing ball.
Shiny vest, though.
Shiiiny…
Day Eleven
Asked ugly mum if I could go to ball.
She said I could if I got own dress.
Must make dress.
Found rags in bucket.
Day Twelve
Jealous sisters ruined dress.
V. sad.
Day Thirteen
Shiny lady gave me dress, shoes, and turned my prize pumpkin into carriage. Slightly upset about pumpkin, but shoes pretty. Dress not as good as last one, but it's thought that counts.
Better rush off to ball now. Have to be back at midnight.
Day Fourteen
Met guy. Fell in love.
…Don't know what his name is.
For reference sake, I'll just call him Fran.
That's a guy's name, right?
Day Fifteen
Forgot to mention that I forgot the time and ran away from ball. Yup…shoe gone. Dress gone too. Before I knew it, I was standing naked on side of road clutching pumpkin. Shiny lady forgot to give me dress back.
Not fun. Couldn't hitchhike.
Day Sixteen
Ugly guy with shiny vest showed up on doorstep, holding my shoe. Thought it disappeared, v. surprised.
Guess I'm getting married to Fran. Who knew he was prince?
Must talk him into painting castle brown. Gold very drab color.
