Tale Summary
An abusive stepmother and two stepdaughters are invited to a royal ball, leaving behind their daughter and sister whom they call Cinderella. Her fairy godmother appears and grants Cinderella’s wish to go to the ball, magically providing a coach, servants, a dress, and perfectly fitted glass slippers. The first night, Cinderella returns before the spell is broken at midnight. On the second night, she leaves in haste as the bell chimes at midnight, dropping one of her glass slippers and having to run all the way home. The prince sends a herald to every house with the slipper to find its owner, and Cinderella is finally discovered. She marries the prince and lives happily ever after.
