The other verses
Bet you didn't know there were other verses
"The Star" by Jane Taylor
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are.Up above the world so high,Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,When he nothing shines upon,Then you show your little light,Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,Thanks you for your tiny spark,He could not see which way to go,If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,And often through my curtains peep,For you never shut your eye,Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,Lights the traveller in the dark.Though I know not what you are,Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.How I wonder what you are.Up above the world so high,Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.How I wonder what you are.How I wonder what you are.
[More verses (27/3/2022):
Tis' your bright and tiny spark,
Lights a traveller in the dark.
Tho' I know not what you are,
Twinkle, Twinkle, little star.
When the glorious Sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet.
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
When the Golden Sun doth rise,
Fills with shining light the skies.
Then you fade away from sight,
Shine no more till comes the night.

Confused Fairy Tales: Cinderella and the Bean Stalk
[Mar 18 2nd Edition]
Cinderella lost her mother some years ago, and now she lives with her stepmother, and two step-sisters.
Her step-sisters had the best clothes, the best food, and did not need to do any housework at all because Cinderella's father was wealthy and could afford servants.
However, when her father's wealth was spent away, they lost their servants one by one and Cinderella took over the cleaning (when the housekeeper was let go), and then laundry (when the washerwoman was let go), and finally the cooking (when the cook was let go).
All the while her step-sisters continued to live the life of pampered rich girls, leaving Cinderella to do the household chores.
