Into the woods
Cinderella at the grave
Narrator
Conderella had planted a branch at the grave of her mother,
And many tears watered it until it had become
A handsome tree.
Cinderella
I've been good and I've been kind, mother,
Doing only what I learned from you.
Why then am I left behind, mother,
Is there somthing more that I should do?
What is wrong with me, mother?
Something must be wrong.
I wish-
Cinderella's mother
Do you know what you wish?
Are you certain what you wish is what you want?
If you know what you want,
Then make a wish,
Ask the tree
And you shall have your wish.
Cinderella
Shiver and quiver, little tree,
Silver and gold throw down on me.
I'm off to get my wish...
