The stench of the rags seeped into her clothes.
Her stepsisters wore beautiful dresses and went to the ball.
The girl stayed at home and her jealousy festered.
One day, a fairy godmother came, cast a spell on the girl, and said,
"Sew yourself an ash-grew dress. Then, you can go to the ball like
your stepsisters!"
The girl patched together the sooty rags, and that's how she became
the Rag Princess. A very stinky Princess indeed. She stunk up the
whole town, in fact.
No girl who stunk so would be allowed into the ball.
I'll make that girl wear this awful dress myself!
And thus, the Rag Princess and the girl in the rag dress became play pals.
