Welcome to The land of Make Believe. Perhaps I should tell you this fine town. There are a lot of funny-looking people in the Land of Make Believe, some people have long noses, some people have short arms but once upon a time a girl named Cinderella was the funniest.

　　Scene 1

　　Cinderella:   (Cinderella enters.  She has enormous feet.  She practices a ballet dance. She is a bad dancer.) I have such enormous feet.  I look like a seaplane.  I will never be a dancer.  I always lose at hopscotch (she tries to hopscotch but falls down), and I have to buy a sock for every toe (She holds up her socks).  I hate my feet.  (The 2 Stepsisters enter.  They are dancing.  They are good dancers)

　　Stepsister 1:   HA HA… It’s

　　Stepsister 1&2: Cinderella BIGFOOT!

　　Stepsister 2: Are you still trying to be a ballet dancer like us?

　　Stepsister 1: With those feet you look more like a clown than a dancer.

　　Stepsister 1: Cinderella, bring me my coat!  (Cinderella brings her coat.  Her feet are so big that she trips.)

　　Stepsister 2: Cinderella, I am thirsty bring me some water.  (Cinderella brings her water; she trips and spills the water.  The two stepsisters laugh!!!)  You are so clumsy!  (They exit)

　　Cinderella: (Crying) It’s not fair…. Why do I have to have these terrible feet?  Why can’t I be beautiful and graceful like my stupid stepsisters!

　　Mother: (Enters carrying an enormous shoe) Cinderella!  You left you shoe in the middle of the street. I have told you many times… You cannot go around barefoot.  Your shoe nearly caused a traffic accident.

　　Cinderella: But Mother those shoes don’t fit my feet.  They hurt!  I want to wear sneakers!

　　Mother: Nonsense.  You are a young woman.  And young women do not wear sneakers!  These used to be your sister’s shoes.

　　Cinderella: But they are too small!

　　Mother: You should be happy that she gave them to you after I bought her a new pair.

　　Stepsister 1: (The two stepsisters rush in holding an invitation.  They are excited) Whew!  What is that smell?

　　Stepsister 2: It’s Cinderella again! (Both sisters hold their noses)

　　Stepsister 1: I almost forgot, the ball is today…

　　Stepsister2:  (Interrupting) In the Kings Palace!

　　Stepsister 1: We will meet the prince!  Have you ever seen his nose?  It looks like a skyscraper.

　　Stepsister 2: Well he may not be handsome.

　　Stepsister 1 &2: but he is rich!  (They laugh together)

　　Cinderella: I heard that the prince can smell a pizza from a mile away.

　　Mother: Let me look at that. (She grabs the invitation) Oh my goodness.  It is today.  We have a lot of work to do.  Cinderella will help you get ready.

　　Cinderella:  But, why can’t I go to the ball?  I want to dance.

　　Mother: What with those feet?  You have trouble enough walking. You might kill someone while you are dancing.  It is not safe.  Now girls please get ready.  (Mother exits)

　　Stepsister 1: Hurry Cinderella…  Where is my dress…?

　　Stepsister 2: And my dress?  Bring me my shoes…!

　　Cinderella: Yes Yes… (She runs around while the stepsisters order her around… she has difficulty keeping her balance)  It is not a difficult task.  Your dresses are here!

　　Stepsister 1: Be careful Cinderella.

　　Stepsister 2: Your BIG feet are stepping on our dresses!  (Cinderella dresses the 2 girls)

　　Mother: Now are you ready girls?  Let’s go!

　　Stepsister 1: This is going to be so much fun!

　　Stepsister 2: We shall dance all night!  (They exit)

　　Scene 2

　　Cinderella: (Looks depressed) Uhhhhh….  Now what should I do.  I can’t dance… I can barely even walk.  I wish my feet would disappear  (She places a blanket over her feet and she starts to cry.  Fairy appears)

　　Fairy: Why are you crying dear child?  Please don’t cry!

　　Cinderella: I cannot go to the Prince’s ball.

　　Fairy: But why not?  You are not that ugly.  Stand up.

　　Cinderella: No.

　　Fairy: Please stand up. I want to help you.  (Cinderella stands.  The Fairy is shocked by her feet) Oh My God!

　　Cinderella: (Starts to cry again)

　　Fairy: Oh, Don’t cry my dear.  I want to help you.

　　Cinderella: But I don’t have an invitation.

　　Fairy: Well I can solve that!  Zip Zap Zoo…  (She waves her magic wand and Cinderella is suddenly wearing a beautiful dress)

　　Cinderella: It’s beautiful…  (She is very happy… she looks down at her feet and becomes upset)  But what about these?

　　Fairy: Hmmmm…  I don’t think that I have any shoes that big…  wait a moment…  (She waves her wand and giant sneakers appear)

　　Cinderella: Sneakers… made of glass!  (She does a quick dance… and falls down)  Oops… Now, how will I get to the ball?  I don’t have a carriage.

　　Fairy: Of course…  (She waves her wand and nothing happens.  She tries again and still nothing appears) Ahhh…Take the bus. (She hands Cinderella some change)

　　Cinderella: Thank you fairy godmother.

　　Fairy: One more thing.  You must be home before midnight.

　　Cinderella: Sure, sure, bye  (They exit)

　　Scene 3

　　Stepsister 1: Who is that funny looking girl?

　　Stepsister 2: She looks so familiar.  (She approached Cinderella)  Do we know each other?

　　Cinderella: (Becomes very nervous.  She looks away and changes her voice) Ah, no I don’t think so.  Please excuse me I have to go.

　　Stepsister 1: What a strange girl…

　　Prince: (Suddenly the prince, who has been standing alone picking his large nose, approaches the stepsisters) Wow… what a beautiful girl.  Who is she?  (The sisters shrug their shoulders.  The Prince walks to Cinderella) Hello sexy… (He smells her.)  You smell great!  Wanna dance?

　　Cinderella: I would love to!

　　Prince: Ouch you stepped on my foot!

　　Cinderella: (The prince can barely walk) Maybe we better sit down for a moment.  (Just then the clock strikes 12.)  Oh my… I’ve got to go!

　　Prince: But who are you? (The prince shouts as he rubs his feet.  Cinderella runs away.  But she leaves behind one giant glass sneaker.  He picks it up and smells it) I am going to find that girl!

　　Scene 4

　　Stepsister 1: (The two girls are doing their make-up as they look in the mirror, Cinderella is painting her toenails eavesdropping on their conversation) Have you heard the news?  Remember that strange looking girl at the ball?

　　Stepsister 2: Yes…

　　Stepsister 1: Well the prince wants to marry her, but he doesn’t know who she is.

　　Stepsister 2: Then how can he marry her?

　　Stepsister 1: Well she left her shoe behind.

　　Stepsister 2: So the Prince will marry whatever woman the shoe fits?  (Suddenly there is a knock at the door.  It is the Prince.  The girls bow as they meet him.  Cinderella of course falls down because of her feet.)

　　Prince: (He walks in the room and gives a gigantic sniff.) Please ladies sit down.  (He smells each of their feet before he tries to put the shoe on their foot.  Cinderella watches from the corner)

　　Stepsister 1: It fits!

　　Prince: Not quite.

　　Stepsister 2: It’s mine!

　　Prince: Too big!  (He puts his nose in the air and stats to smell.  He sniffs all the way over to Cinderella’s feet)

　　Stepsister 1: But she wasn’t at the ball…

　　Stepsister 2: Yeah she wasn’t at the ball…

　　Prince: Please!  (She slips it on)

　　Stepsister 1&2: It fits!

　　Prince: Will you marry me?

　　Cinderella: Only if you will marry me.

　　Prince: I will (He leans in a tries to give Cinderella a kiss, but his nose is too big.  Finally he kisses her hand)

　　THE END
