Crystal Shoes of Cinderella
“Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a rare bright smile on her face, saying, “I’m gonna have a dance performance tonight. I hope you’ll come. Here is the ticket. Don’t forget!” She left in a hurry, disappearing in the 1)throngs of people quickly.
“What?! What performance? Dance? Is that credible?” I asked myself. Mary was not that kind of girl. She was a quite ordinary one. I had never seen her put on make-up or wearing attractive clothes, moreover, she always wore her big blackframe glasses, for she did not know how to dress up indeed. What a terrible thing, especially for a plain girl!
“I should go to, I must go to. That’s a miracle!” I thought.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, and found my seat. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would 2)suffer from a hard time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, but her performance was worthy of watching, no matter how long I would wait for it.
Time went slowly, I struggled with myself not to fall asleep.
“Let’s welcome the next exciting dance—Latin!”Applause filled the hall at once.
I opened my eyes as large as possible, fearing to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shining skirt, Mary appeared on the 3)glorious stage. Her dress went well with the brilliant lights. Such a scene seemed to be a 4)mermaiden showing up under the 5)glittering sunshine, meanwhile, I could feel all the audience in the hall focus their eyes on her and it was also hard for me to remove my sights from her. She was so beautiful: her 6)stature was slim; her long golden hair lay back in curls over her 7)delicate ears. Dancing with a charming smile, she was fully absorbed in the Latin music. At this moment, she looked like a pretty butterfly flying on the 8)splendid stage…I could hardly believe my eyes.
After the performance ended, I waited for her at the gate.
“Hi!” She stood in front of me with a bag and her crystal high-heeled shoes in her hands, and dressed as she used to be, but the make-up could still be seen.
“How do you feel?” There was even the slightest tired expression appeared on her face.
“Fantastic!” I answered.
“Haha. I knew it would be.” She could not 9)conceal her excitement, laughing like a child.
“May I lend a hand?”
“Thank you!” She handed her crystal shoes to me which were shining in the wonderful starry night; in the mean time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.
“嗨!约翰。”玛丽向我跑来,脸上带着罕见的笑容,对我说:“今晚我有一场舞蹈表演,希望你能来。这是门票。可别忘了啊!”说完她就匆忙离开了,很快消失在人群中。
“什么?!什么表演?舞蹈?这可信吗?”我问我自己。玛丽不是那种女孩。她是一个很普通的女生。我从未见过她化妆或者穿漂亮的衣服,而且她总是戴着那副大大的黑框眼镜,因为她真的不知道该怎么打扮自己。这真是一件糟糕的事情,尤其是对于一个相貌平平的女生来说!
“我应该去,我必须去。这是一个奇迹!”我想。
我拿着票走进演出大厅,找到我的位子坐下来。她的表演排在第七位。我知道在轮到她之前,我得忍受一段艰辛的时光,因为我完全没有艺术细胞。但无论等多久,她的表演都值得一看。
时间过得很慢,我努力不让自己睡着。
“让我们欢迎下一场精彩的舞蹈表演—拉丁舞!”掌声立即响彻全场。
我尽量瞪大双眼,生怕漏掉什么。玛丽穿着一条闪闪发光的金色裙子出现在耀眼的舞台上。她的裙子与明亮的灯光交相辉映。这样的场景就像是美人鱼出现在灿烂的阳光下一样美丽。与此同时,我能感觉到全场观众的目光都聚集在她身上,而我也难以将视线从她身上移开。她是如此美丽:她的身材很苗条,长长的金发卷曲在她小巧的耳朵后面。她带着迷人的笑容舞动起来,完全沉醉在拉丁音乐中。在这一刻,她看起来就像是一只美丽的蝴蝶在这个华丽的舞台上翩翩起舞……我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。
表演结束后,我在门口等她。
“嗨!”她提着一个包包和她的水晶高跟鞋出现在我面前,穿着她平常穿的衣服,但还能看到化妆的痕迹。
“你觉得我的表演怎么样?”她的脸上没有显出一丝疲倦的神情。
“无与伦比!”我回答道。
“哈哈!我就知道是这样。”她掩饰不住兴奋,像个孩子一样笑着。
“我帮你拿吧?”
“谢谢!”她把水晶鞋递给我。它们在这美妙的星空下熠熠闪光。这时,我意识到,每个女孩都拥有一双特殊的鞋子,就像灰姑娘的水晶鞋一样。
