Cinderello and the golden false-teeth

Inspired by some fairy tale I decided to write my own version of The Cinderella story. This time with comical themes and ideas, but don't worry the idea of the original version is still in existence in my story. So folks feel free to read my own version.

Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young man. His mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two sons. His stepmother didn't like him one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own sons. Nothing was too good for them - beautiful clothes, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort.

But, for the poor unhappy man, there was nothing at all. No beautiful clothes, only his stepbrothers’ hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. He had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was he allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called him Cinderello.

Cinderello used to spend long hours all alone talking to his cat. The cat said, . Roar roar. , which really meant, . Get to back to work you dumb ass! You have something neither of your stepbrothers has and that is your false-teeth.. It was quite true. Cinderello, even dressed in old rags, has the most splendid false-teeth. While his stepbrothers, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, no matter how many times they brush their teeth, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.

One day, beautiful new clothes arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepbrothers were getting ready to go. Cinderello didn't even dare ask if he could go too. He knew very well what the answer would be: . You? You're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepbrothers. They will come home tired and very sleepy. Cinderello sighed, . Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!. and the cat murmured . Miaow..

Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderello was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and the Wizard of Oz appeared. . Don't be alarmed, Cinderello,. said the Wizard. . I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!. . How can I?. Cinderello replied. . The servants will turn me away!.

The Wizard smiled. With a flick of his magic wand Cinderello found himself wearing the most elegant clothes he had ever. Now for your coach, said the Wizard; "A real man would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a Tiger!. . Oh of course,. said Cinderello, rushing away. Then the Wizard turned the tiger to a white horse. Cinderello could hardly believe his eyes. And lastly the Wizard turned Cinderello's false-teeth to gold. “Now, go and enjoy yourself,” said the Wizard. “But be sure to be back before midnight, for when the clock strikes twelve everything will return to what it was before. Cinderello rode his white horse and was whisked through the dark streets until he reached the palace.

When he entered the ballroom, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Cinderello. They had never seen such a handsome man before with a golden false-teeth. The Princess fell in love with him as soon as she saw him, and danced with him all evening. Cinderello thought that she was the most beautiful girl he ever seen and fell in love with her, too. Cinderello was having such a good time and a wonderful evening, he forgot all about the Wizard's warning. All of a sudden, he heard the clock strike twelve. “Oh no,” he thought, “I must leave!” He tore himself from the Princess's arms and rushed out of the ballroom. Before he reached the palace gates at the end of the drive, his elegant clothes had already turned back into the shabby, dirty rag that he always wore. And his horse had already turned back into a tiger.

Back in the ballroom, the Princess couldn't understand why the handsome man had suddenly ran away, "Is he gay?" she thought, but what she really can't understand is why there is a tiger in their garden.

The Princess ordered the guards to look for the handsome man, they found nothing but a golden false-teeth. When the Princess found it she immediately issued a proclamation, saying that she intended to find and marry the man whose mouth fitted the golden false-teeth. She would visit every house in the land, until she found him.

Every man in the land was excited and decided to remove all their teeth. So it happened that every man in the land had no teeth.

The Princess would never be contented until she found that man. So the ministers tried the golden false-teeth on every man's mouth in the land. The ugly stepbrothers became excited too. On the day that the Princess was going to visit their house, they made sure to remove their teeth.

When the Princess arrived, she held out the golden false-teeth and ask who among the two brothers would try it first.

“I will!” cried one of them. But, as much as he tried to push the golden false-teeth wouldn't just fit. His mouth was far too small.

“Give it to me!” said the other brother and, grabbing the false-teeth, tried to put it in. But his mouth was far too big that every time he smiled the false-teeth would fall. Just then, Cinderello stepped forward. He had been standing quietly in the shadows and no one had noticed him. “May I try?” he asked.

“You!” cried the stepmother. “Of course you can't! Now go back to the kitchen where you belong!”

“Be quiet!” ordered the Princess. “Of course you may,” she said, turning to Cinderello, not recognizing him. Cinderello sat down and put the false-teeth into his mouth. There was no pushing nor pulling. It glided on perfectly and he smiled. Every one in the house gasped in amazement including the ugly brothers.

“I recognize you now,” said the Princess, smiling. “You are the man I fell in love with at the ball, and you are the man I am going to marry.”

“I can't believe this is happening,” cried Cinderello. “I loved you the moment I met you, and I thought I'd never see you again.”

Cinderello and the Princess had a glorious wedding. Everyone was present, all the characters in the fairy tale land was there. His best friend Show Brown with seven warts, his gay cousin Raffy who intend to call himself Rapunzel, his childhood friend Little Red Robinhood, Jack with his weed stalk, the Ginger bearded man, Paladdin with his lamp, and of course the Wizard of Oz was there.

Cinderello was so happy. He forgave his brothers, their cruelty, he never had to wash up dirty dish ever again. And ever since the golden false-teeth became the emblem of the kingdom.

And they lived happily ever after.
