Cinderella and Cinder Edna lived neXt
door to each other. Edna is strong, spunky and tells some good jokes,
like the one about the kangaroo from kalamaZoo. Cinder Edna and Cinderella
did chores and housework around the house. Edna mowed the yard to keep
herself warm, while Cinderella sat in the cinders. Cinder Edna cleaned
parrot cages for her neighbors to earn some money.
The king sent an
invitation to all the ladies of the kingdom to come to the ball. Cinderella
had a fairy godmother, although Cinder Edna was not a believer of fairy
tales or fairy godmothers. So she used her cage cleaning money to buy
a dress for the ball. Cinder Edna arrived to the ball by bus. Cinderella
took the horse and carriage to the ball.
Randolph, the king’s son was
very boring. Rupert is Randolph’s younger brother who lives in a cottage,
runs a recycling plant and takes care of orphaned kittens. Rupert fell
in love with Cinder Edna. Rupert and Edna danced all night long at
the ball. Cinderella just swayed to the music because she didn’t want
to mess her hair or break her glass slippers.
Edna and Cinderella left
the ball at midnight. That’s when the buses quit running and the carriage
turned back into a pumpkin. Cinder Edna lost her loafer at the ball.
Rupert found it and knew that the girl from the ball was named Edna.
Rupert looked up all the Ednas in the palace directory.
All the girls
were visited by Rupert to name 16 different kinds of tuna casserole
so he could find Cinder Edna. Rupert found Cinder Edna because he said, “the
girl that I was dancing with could make sixteen kinds of tuna casserole.
Rupert and Edna had a double wedding
with Cinderella and Randolph, but Edna and Rupert lived happily ever
after.
