Egyptian+Cinderella



**There was a girl named Rhodopis that was kidnapped from Greece. She was kidnapped by pirates that brought her across the Nile River and sold as a slave in Egypt. She felt different from the other servants because she had pale skin, rosy cheeks, golden hair, while their hair was black, and green eyes. They teased her and made fun of her and made her do all the work. Rhodopis made friends with animals and one day her master saw her dancing and he got her a pair of red-rose gold slippers and when the other servant girls saw them they were jealous.**

**One afternoon the master heard the pharaoh was having a court and they told Rhopopis that she couldn't go because she has to do chores. So when they left for the court they were wearing nice jewelry. When Rhodopis sang to her hippopotamus friend he usually enjoyed it and when they left she sang to him and soon he got tired of her singing the same song so he splashed her slippers and scolded them.**

**After she cleaned the shoe, she put it aside and finished her chores. The god Horus came and took her shoe and she started to cry. Then her brought it to the pharaoh and said that whoevers foot fit in the shoe will be the perfect wife for him. All the girls wanted to try on the slipper but none of their feet fit. He went along to the Nile and found the last little house and when they raised the slipper they servant girls knew that it was Rhodopis' but they tried it on anyway and it didnt fit any of their feet. Then the pharaoh saw Rhodopis and asked her to try on the slipper and she did and it fit. She then became the queen.**
