As good as Cinderella

学科网（北京）股份有限公司
“How did tryouts (选拔赛) go, Shayna?” Mom asked after school.
“Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!”
“What part did you get?” Mom asked. “None,” I said. I ran to my room and started drawing in my sketchbook.
Drawing always makes me feel better.
The next day, Kristie was excited. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. “I’m nervous. Shayna,” she
said. “Will you come to rehearsal (彩排)?” I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet because I still
thought I’d be in the play.
“All right,” I said. “But only today.”
In the hall, Ms Carson handed out copies of the script (剧本) to the performers. I sat in the third row, wishing
1 were in my room drawing. Ms Carson pulled a cardboard castle onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with
small windows and doors. Ms Carson turned on the music, and Kristie and the Prince started dancing. I had to say,
Kristie was really good.
When the rehearsal was over, Kristie pointed to the cardboard castle and asked, “When will we get the real
sets (布景)?”
“These are the real sets,” Ms Carson said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could
do.” Kristie and I walked outside.
“You were great,” I said. “Everyone will love the play.”
“Thanks,” Kristie said. “But did you see the sets?”
I thought for a moment. “Maybe there’s something we can do.” I spent that evening drawing. The next day, I
stuck my sketchbook into my backpack and went to school. After class, I went to teachers’ office and told Ms
Carson my ideas. To my great pleasure, Ms Carson liked it and so did other teachers.
Over the next week, a corner of the lunchroom was filled with cardboard and paint. And lots of kids were
painting.
Finally, opening night arrived. When the curtain rose, everyone saw a magical land with rolling hills, a fancy
carriage, and a beautiful castle.
Kristie was a wonderful Cinderella, and everyone clapped their hands when the play was over.
Then Ms Carson called me up to the stage. She said, “ 5 .”
Everyone cheered. For me! I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as good as being Cinderella.
