Q

Il Principe aveva promesso un ballo a tutte le ragazze presenti, ma quando finalmente fu il turno di Cenerentola, non volle più ballare con nessun’altra.

A

The Prince had promised a dance to all the girls present, but when it was finally Cinderella’s turn, he no longer wanted to dance with anyone else.

26
Q

Tutte le altre ragazze diventarono verdi d’invidia, comprese la matrigna e le sorellastre di Cenerentola.

A

All the other girls turned green with envy, including Cinderella’s stepmother and half-sisters.

27
Q

Così il Principe e Cenerentola continuarono a ballare per tutta la serata, tanto che lei si scordò del del tempo che passava…

A

So the Prince and Cinderella continued to dance throughout the evening, so much so that she forgot the time that passed …

28
Q

Ma ci pensò il campanile a ricordarle che ormai era giunta la mezzanotte, e la campana iniziò a fare i primi rintocchi.

A

But the bell tower thought about it to remind her that it was now midnight, and the bell began to toll.

29
Q

Cenerentola fu presa dal panico.

A

Cinderella panicked.

30
Q

Mi scusi sua maestà, ma io ora devo proprio andare… –

A

Excuse me your majesty, but now I really have to go …

31
Q

si congedò frettolosamente dal Principe che non capiva il perché di una fuga così improvvisa, così decise di rincorrerla.

A

she hastily took leave of the Prince who did not understand the reason for such a sudden escape, so he decided to chase her.

Cenerentola correva veloce, ma mentre scendeva la scalinata che portava alla carrozza perse una delle scarpette di cristallo.

Q

38
Q

mentre scendeva la scalinata

A

as he went down the steps

39
Q

Fece per voltarsi a riprenderla, ma mancava ancora un solo rintocco di campana e tutta la magia sarebbe svanita,

A

He started to turn to take it back, but there was still a single toll of the bell and all the magic would be gone,

40
Q

Così saltò sulla carrozza e gridò ai cavalli di correre al galoppo verso casa.

A

So he jumped into the carriage and shouted for the horses to gallop home.

46
Q

47
Q

Al Principe non rimase altro da fare che raccogliere la scarpetta di cristallo,

A

There was nothing left for the Prince to do but collect the crystal slipper,

48
Q

e vedere la carrozza di quella fanciulla senza nome che si allontanava a tutta velocità.

A

and see the carriage of that nameless girl moving away at full speed.

49
Q

Non appena dal campanile arrivò il dodicesimo rintocco, la carrozza svanì, i cavalli ritornarono ad essere topolini e Cenerentola tornò ad essere vestita di stracci.

A

As soon as the twelfth stroke came from the bell tower, the carriage vanished, the horses returned to being mice and Cinderella returned to being dressed in rags.

50
Q

Per fortuna erano ormai abbastanza lontani dal castello e nessuno vide nulla, così a Cenerentola toccò fare l’ultimo tratto di strada a piedi, in compagnia dei topolini.

A

Fortunately, they were now quite far from the castle and no one saw anything, so Cinderella had to make the last stretch of road on foot, in the company of the mice.

A

Cinderella had to make the last stretch

Q

Il giorno dopo la matrigna e le sorellastre erano furenti,

A

The next day the stepmother and the stepsisters were furious,

54
Q

avevano saputo che il Principe aveva ordinato alle sue guardie di cercare la splendida fanciulla senza nome.

A

they had learned that the Prince had ordered his guards to seek out the beautiful, nameless girl.

55
Q

Per essere certi che la fanciulla fosse quella giusta,

A

To make sure the girl was the right one,

56
Q

avrebbero fatto calzare la scarpetta di cristallo per scoprire quella al cui piede avrebbe calzato alla perfezione.

A

they would put on the crystal slipper to discover the one on whose foot it would fit perfectly.

57
Q

Così Cenerentola si mise a fare lavori nell’orto, mentre intanto cercava di origliare cosa stesse succedendo in casa.

A

So Cinderella began to work in the garden, while in the meantime she tried to overhear what was happening in the house.

58
Q

Ovviamente a nessuna delle due sorellastre, per quanto provassero e riprovassero, la scarpetta di cristallo andava bene.

A

Obviously neither of the stepsisters, no matter how they tried and tried, the crystal slipper fit.
