Dana is Not Cinderella

Dana is pretty like Cinderella A busybody who knows nothing said. But I saw Dana, and she was clean Cinderella was always cinder full, right? She reminds me of her, the speaker said. I tried to see it, but could not Dana looked like a Scandinavian princess One who had never gotten her hands dirty This woman’s hands were pristinely clean Her face was scrubbed to perfection Not one streak of coal or calloused finger. She had never slept on a cold hard floor. Dana was a beauty, with many adornments Braids, lace collar, flowers, beads, ribbons Cinderella had been given none of that She slept with mice remember?
