The
Egyptian Cinderella
Long ago, in the land of Egypt where
the emerald Nile river flows into the azure water of the Mediterrean sea, lived
a young girl named Rhodopis. Rhodopis had been kidnapped from Greece by pirates
and was now a servant for a kind man. But, because she looked so different from
all the other servant girls, they taunted her and spat out demands like, “Go to
the river to wash my clothes!” “Bake the bread!” “Mend my robe!”
One evening, as she danced barefoot
in the illuminating spotlight of the moon; twirling, with her feet barley
touching the ground, her master spotted her and was so overwhelmed by such
unique talent that he ordered her the most exquisite pair of rose-red shoes,
gilded in gold. However, the other servant girls overflowed with jealousy and
hatred for her even more.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Egypt, the Pharoah was holding a magnificent celebration where everyone was invited. Desperately, our heroine pleaded to go, but the evil girls forced her to stay and do their jobs whilst they rowed away down the Nile, cackling like malevolent geese. Blinking away silent tears, Rhodopis washed their clothes in the river. But as she swirled her hands in the water, she splashed her precious shoes. Panicked, she quickly took them off and left them on the bank to dry. Then, swiftly, and without a sound, a ghost-like falcon swooped down, snatching one of them! Strangely, she was in calm awe for she knew it was the god Horus who had taken her shoe.
Meanwhile, at the celebrations, the Pharoah
suddenly saw this same bird gliding down and watched in amazement as it dropped
the slipper in his lap. Knowing it was a sign from Horus, he sent out an order
that all girls in Egypt must try on the slipper and the owner would become his
queen.
Days passed, with no owner uncovered,
until the Pharoah eventually found himself magically drawn to Rhodopis whom the
servant girls had tried to hide. Following his instincts, the King discovered
her trembling in the rushes and gently placed her tiny foot in the shoe. It fit
perfectly! Instantly, bursting with love, the Pharoah asked her if she would be
his queen….
