Cinderella

Once upon a time there

lived an unhappy young

girl. Her mother was

dead and her father

had married a widow

with two daughters.

Her stepmother didn't

like her one little

bit. All her kind

thoughts and loving

touches were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good

5

for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and

every home comfort. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there

was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’

hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No

rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only

when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by

the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called

her Cinderella.

Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to

the cat. The cat said, “Miaow“, which really meant,

“Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters

has and that is beauty.” It was quite true. Cinderella,

even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her

stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their

clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always

would be.

One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A

ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters

were getting ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask

if she could go too. She 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

stepsisters.” They will come home tired and very sleepy.

Cinderella sighed, “Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!” and the cat

murmured “Miaow.”

Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was

sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy

appeared. “Don't be alarmed, Cinderella,” said the fairy.

“I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you

shall!” “How can I, dressed in rags?” Cinderella replied.

“The servants will turn me away!”

6

The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand

Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress

she had ever seen. “Now for your coach,” said the fairy;

"A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get

me a pumpkin!” “Oh of course,” said Cinderella, rushing

away. Then the fairy turned to the cat. “You, bring me

seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!”

Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat

with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick

of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling

coach and the mice became six white horses, while the

seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform

and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her

eyes.

“You shall go to the ball Cinderella. But remember! You

must leave at midnight. That is when my spell ends. Your

coach will turn back into a pumpkin and the horses will

become mice again. You will be dressed in rags and

wearing clogs instead of these glass slippers! Do you

understand?” Cinderella smiled and said, “Yes, I

understand!”

Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she

heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what

the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she

slipped from the Prince’s arms and ran down the steps. As

she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a

moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the

last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a

disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into

the night.

7

The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up

the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search

everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I

will never be content until I find her!” So the ministers

tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land

until only Cinderella was left.

“That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the

ball,” snapped the stepmother. “Tell the Prince he ought

to marry one of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly

Cinderella is?”

But, to everyone’s amazement, the shoe fitted perfectly.

Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In

a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining

with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters

gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, “Come

with us Cinderella! The Prince is waiting for you.“

So Cinderella married the Prince and lived happily ever.

As for the cat, he just said “Miaow!”

The advantage of Gold Coin Investment

Gold has become a precious metal to mankind since it was the dawn of civilization. The nature of gold is soft and malleable which people can make and easily change to any forms, even it is done just by a simple technology. The beautiful golden and shiny color does not easily fade out. The form of gold can be as jewelry, bar, or coin. Now days gold coin, such as gold IRA, becomes an advantageous investment.

Gold is safe and profitable for investment. In uncertain situations, many people are turning to gold because gold has a more stable value and regarded as currency without limitation assets. It is secure and can be cashed out at any time we need. The Gold values tend to be stable; take a look an IRA gold discussion. It is zero inflation effect. It is very rare that the gold prices fell. Even every year, the gold price tends to increase.

Investments in the form of coins, it is famous as gold coin, is more profitable if it is compared with the investment gold in the form of jewelry. Gold Coin, for example gold 401k which some people call 401k gold, is very good when used as an alternative investment, whether it is for the medium-term investment and long-term investment. Besides that gold coins need less cost in production and manufacturing sot it is more lucrative than investing gold in the form of jewelry.

Moreover, some people do not just think gold as an investment, but also as collections. Because the character is a collection so the uniqueness and rareness are the point. There might be coins that cost up to more than a million because of the history variables, ownership, and perhaps an important event when the coin is launched.

From the reason above, if we decide to make an investment, it could be useful to consider investing gold coin or think about gold IRA transfer. It is really recommended.
