“Hi！ John.” Mary ran towards me with a rare bright smile on her face， saying， “Im gonna have a dance performance tonight. I hope youll come. Here is the ticket. Dont forget！” She left in a hurry， disappearing in the throngs of people quickly.

“What？！ What performance？ Dance？ Is that credible？” I asked myself. Mary was not that kind of girl. She was a quite ordinary one. I had never seen her put on make-up or wearing attractive clothes， moreover， she always wore her big blackframe glasses， for she did not know how to dress up indeed. What a terrible thing， especially for a plain girl！

“I should go to， I must go to. Thats a miracle！” I thought.

I arrived at the hall with the ticket， and found my seat. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would suffer from a hard time before her turn， for I had no sense of art， but her performance was worthy of watching， no matter how long I would wait for it.

Time went slowly， I struggled with myself not to fall asleep.

“Lets welcome the next exciting dance—Latin！”Applause filled the hall at once.

I opened my eyes as large as possible， fearing to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shining skirt， Mary appeared on the glorious stage. Her dress went well with the brilliant lights. Such a scene seemed to be a mermaiden showing up under the glittering sunshine， meanwhile， I could feel all the audience in the hall focus their eyes on her and it was also hard for me to remove my sights from her. She was so beautiful： her stature was slim; her long golden hair lay back in curls over her delicate ears. Dancing with a charming smile， she was fully absorbed in the Latin music. At this moment， she looked like a pretty butterfly flying on the splendid stage…I could hardly believe my eyes.

After the performance ended， I waited for her at the gate.

“Hi！” She stood in front of me with a bag and her crystal high-heeled shoes in her hands， and dressed as she used to be， but the make-up could still be seen.

“How do you feel？” There was even the slightest tired expression appeared on her face.

“Fantastic！” I answered.

“Haha. I knew it would be.” She could not conceal her excitement， laughing like a child.

“May I lend a hand？”

“Thank you！” She handed her crystal shoes to me which were shining in the wonderful starry night; in the mean time， I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.

“嗨！約翰。”玛丽向我跑来，脸上带着罕见的笑容，对我说：“今晚我有一场舞蹈表演，希望你能来。这是门票。可别忘了啊！”说完她就匆忙离开了，很快消失在人群中。

“什么？！什么表演？舞蹈？这可信吗？”我问我自己。玛丽不是那种女孩。她是一个很普通的女生。我从未见过她化妆或者穿漂亮的衣服，而且她总是戴着那副大大的黑框眼镜，因为她真的不知道该怎么打扮自己。这真是一件糟糕的事情，尤其是对于一个相貌平平的女生来说！

“我应该去，我必须去。这是一个奇迹！”我想。

我拿着票走进演出大厅，找到我的位子坐下来。她的表演排在第七位。我知道在轮到她之前，我得忍受一段艰辛的时光，因为我完全没有艺术细胞。但无论等多久，她的表演都值得一看。

时间过得很慢，我努力不让自己睡着。

“让我们欢迎下一场精彩的舞蹈表演——拉丁舞！”掌声立即响彻全场。

我尽量瞪大双眼，生怕漏掉什么。玛丽穿着一条闪闪发光的金色裙子出现在耀眼的舞台上。她的裙子与明亮的灯光交相辉映。这样的场景就像是美人鱼出现在灿烂的阳光下一样美丽。与此同时，我能感觉到全场观众的目光都聚集在她身上，而我也难以将视线从她身上移开。她是如此美丽：她的身材很苗条，长长的金发卷曲在她小巧的耳朵后面。她带着迷人的笑容舞动起来，完全沉醉在拉丁音乐中。在这一刻，她看起来就像是一只美丽的蝴蝶在这个华丽的舞台上翩翩起舞……我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。

表演结束后，我在门口等她。

“嗨！”她提着一个包包和她的水晶高跟鞋出现在我面前，穿着她平常穿的衣服，但还能看到化妆的痕迹。

“你觉得我的表演怎么样？”她的脸上没有显出一丝疲倦的神情。

“无与伦比！”我回答道。

“哈哈！我就知道是这样。”她掩饰不住兴奋，像个孩子一样笑着。

“我帮你拿吧？”

“谢谢！”她把水晶鞋递给我。它们在这美妙的星空下熠熠闪光。这时，我意识到，每个女孩都拥有一双特殊的鞋子，就像灰姑娘的水晶鞋一样。
