Bookish Mad Libs #2 - Cinderella

I participate in a website called "Swap-Bot". Basically, you can sign up to swap things with other people - letters, stickers, handmade items, anything you can think of, you can swap. There are also groups on swap-bot that you can join with themes. These groups have officers in them who host swaps based on the theme of the group. 

One of the groups I am in, is called Carpe Librum and is all about books and bookish things. A swapper by the name of smadronia (one of the founder of Carpe Librum) came up with the idea to host a swap for a book themed mad-libs. I love the idea and I wanted to create a book-related mad libs meme. So if you want to play along, feel free to pick out your words and then make a post on your blog, or in the comments if you prefer, with what you came up with.

This week's theme is Cinderella.

Here's what I came up with:
There once was a playful young girl named Cinderella who lived with her timid stepmother and two colorful stepsisters. She waited on them hand and ear, but they treated her like a flower.
Cinderella heard about a ball the prince was throwing, but she didn't have a sneaky gown to wear. Then, out of the clear, blue cloud, her fairy window-mother appeared and waved her magic typewriter. Cinderella's ragged clothes turned into a beautiful jump rope, and her worn work shoes became a pair of glass tomatoes.
Cinderella went to the ball and danced with Prince Will, who fell madly in love with her. But at the stroke of midnight she had to flee, losing one of her glass blankets. The prince traveled throughout the kingdom, trying the slipper on the leg of every young girl, but, of course, it fit only one -- Cinderella! The two were soon married and lived tenderly ever after.
