Cinderellas
Story

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She
lived with her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. They treated
Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for a grand ball in
the kings palace. But Cinderellas stepmother would not let her go.
Cinderella was made to sew new party gowns for her stepmother
and stepsisters, and curl their hair. They then went to the ball,
leaving Cinderella alone at home.
Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy
godmother appeared and said, Dont cry, Cinderella! I will send you
to the ball! But Cinderella was sad. She said, I dont have a gown
to wear for the ball! The fairy godmother waved her magic wand
and changed Cinderellas old clothes into a beautiful new gown! The
fairy godmother then touched Cinderellas feet with the magic
wand. And lo! She had beautiful glass slippers! How will I go to the
grand ball? asked Cinderella. The fairy godmother found six mice
playing near a pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched them with her
magic wand and the mice became four shiny black horses and two
coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach. Cinderella
was overjoyed and set off for the ball in the coach drawn by the six
black horses. Before leaving. the fairy godmother said, Cinderella,
this magic will only last until midnight! You must reach home by
then!

When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck by her

beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderellas stepmother or stepsisters,
knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and shoes. The
handsome prince also saw her and fell in love with Cinderella. He
went to her and asked, Do you want to dance? And Cinderella said,
Yes! The prince danced with her all night and nobody recognized
the beautiful dancer. Cinderella was so happy dancing with the prince
that she almost forgot what the fairy godmother had said. At the last
moment, Cinderella remembered her fairy godmothers words and
she rushed to go home. Oh! I must go! she cried and ran out of the
palace. One of her glass slippers came off but Cinderella did not turn
back for it. She reached home just as the clock struck twelve. Her
coach turned back into a pumpkin, the horses into mice and her fine
ball gown into rags. Her stepmother and stepsisters reached home
shortly after that. They were talking about the beautiful lady who had
been dancing with the prince.

Monorails are often provided as a solution to traffic
congestions. The government of Jakarta has been
discussing this transportation system as another solution.
The attractiveness to many developers seems to lie on the
fact that monorails are elevated and removed from the
ground. The roadway space is not exclusively reserved for
monorails. Therefore, this transportation system does not
have to succumb to the flooding of the streets in Jakarta.
Although the cost of building the concrete platforms and
tracks necessary for this project is similar to the cost of
highway or toll road construction, it is worthy. However,
this system has a weakness because forcing commuters to
climb the elevated platforms possesses an inconvenience.

 In conclusion, the imbalance between the number of

cars and motorcycles and the number of streets in
Jakarta is the number one cause of traffic congestions.
Therefore, we must come to realize that cars and
motorcycles are inefficient means of transportation in
Jakarta. In addition, according to accident statistics,
cars and motorcycles are highly unsafe. Finally, cars
and motorcycles are a major contributor to wasted fuel
and Carbon Monoxide pollution. Responsible
government should come to realize that the best
interest of the general public should be taken into
consideration and private vehicle use should be highly
restricted, if not limited altogether.
