Cinderella lived with her cruel stepmother and ugly stepsisters who made her do chores. She wished to attend the prince's ball but was not allowed. Her fairy godmother helped her get ready and go to the ball, where she danced with the prince all night. As midnight approached, Cinderella fled the ball, losing one of her glass slippers on the steps. The next day, the prince went house to house, finding Cinderella was the one whose foot fit the lost glass slipper perfectly. They married and lived happily ever after.
