As the godmother was a fairy, she could guess what the girl was thinking.
她的教母畢竟是個仙女，她能猜出小女孩想的事情。
So she said to her, "You wish you could go to the ball, do you not?"
于是她對灰姑娘說：“你想參加舞會，是嗎？
Oh, yes, said Cinderella, sadly.
“嗯，是的。”灰姑娘傷心地說道。
Well, said the godmother, "do as I tell you, and you may go.
教母說：“好吧，按我教你的做，你就能去了。
First, run out into the garden and bring me the very largest pumpkin you can find there."
首先跑進花園，把你能找到的最大的南瓜拿給我。”
Cinderella went at once and brought a fine pumpkin to her godmother, but she could not understand how it would help her to go to the ball,
灰姑娘立刻去給她的教母拿來了一個大南瓜，但是她不明白南瓜怎么能幫她參加舞會。
She could not understand any better when she saw her godmother take out all the inside of the pumpkin, and then strike the outside with her magic wand.
當她看到仙女取出南瓜的瓤子并在南瓜外面揮舞魔棒的時候，她還是沒有明白怎么回事。
But at once the pumpkin was turned into the most wonderful coach that Cinderella had ever seen in all her life.
但南瓜立刻變成了灰姑娘一生中從未見過的豪華馬車。
How shall we get horses for such a great coach as this, godmother? asked Cinderella.
“教母大人，我們怎么才能給這樣的豪華馬車找到馬匹呢？”灰姑娘問道。
In the corner of the kitchen, said the fairy, "you will find a mouse-trap; bring it to me."
仙女說：“你會在廚房的角落里找到一個捕鼠器，把它拿來給我。
Cinderella went to look for the mouse-trap, and, when she found it, she saw in it six mice, all alive.
灰姑娘找到了捕鼠器，她看到里面有六只活老鼠。
