Cinderella

Charles Perrault

Cinderella, a kind-hearted girl forced into servitude by her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, dreams of a better life despite her harsh circumstances. When the royal ball is announced, Cinderella's hopes of attending are dashed, but her fairy godmother appears and transforms her into a stunning princess for the night. At the ball, she captivates the prince, but as midnight approaches, she flees, leaving behind a glass slipper. The prince, determined to find her, searches the kingdom and eventually discovers that the slipper fits Cinderella perfectly. Her goodness and resilience are rewarded as she marries the prince, leaving her life of hardship behind and finding the happiness she always dreamed of.
