灰姑娘故事的英文版如下：
Once upon a time in a beautiful kingdom, there was a poor young girl named Cinderella. She had no shoes with which to leave her own mark, but she had a kind heart and a desire for true love.
Every day after a hard day's work in the fields, she would rush home to help her mother with the household chores. Although she was not treated as a princess by her family, Cinderella found joy in helping others and in staying busy.
Cinderella's cruel stepmother treated her badly and ignored her feelings and thoughts. She only cared about pleasing her wealthy and arrogant father. Although Cinderella often felt sad and unwanted, she still found happiness in small moments, such as watching the sunset or feeling the touch of a butterfly on her hand.
One day, the prince held a grand ball to find a wife. Everyone was invited except for Cinderella. But Cinderella was determined to go, so she found a pair of glass shoes, which were a gift from her mother, and polished them until they shone like new.
When she arrived at the palace, she danced all night with the handsome prince, feeling his heart beating next to hers. Although she had no dress to wear to the ball, she put on the borrowed glass slippers and pretended they were her own.
When the sun rose and everyone left, the prince vowed that he would marry the most beautiful girl he had met that night. Although he did not realize it was Cinderella until much later, she had found a new happiness and a dream come true.
And so ended the story of Cinderella, a girl who defied all odds to find love and happiness in a fairy tale world.
