THE LOST SHOE
Once a poor farmer had a daughter named Little Pea. After his wife died, the
farmer married again. His new wife had a daughter, Stout Nut. Unfortunately, the
new wife was very cruel to Little Pea. Little Pea had to do chores all day. This made
Little Pea’s father very upset. He soon died of a broken heart.
Summer came and went. In the fall, the village held its harvest festival. That
year, everyone was excited as the prince wanted to choose his wife from the village.
Stout Nut’s mother made new clothes for her, but poor Little Pea had none.
However, before the festival started, a fairy appeared and magically changed
Little Pea ‘s rags into beautiful clothes.
As Little Pea ran to the festival, she dropped one of her shoes and lost it.
When the prince found the shoe, he decided to marry the girl who owned it. Of
course the shoe fitted Little Pea, and the prince immediately fell in love with her.
