Cinderella lived with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, where she was made to work all day doing chores. One day, she was not allowed to go to the prince's ball, but her animal friends helped make her an outfit to wear. At the ball, the fairy godmother magically transformed Cinderella's outfit, but she had to return by midnight. She lost her glass slipper as she fled the ball. The prince declared he would marry whoever fit the slipper. Though her stepsisters tried, only Cinderella's foot fit the slipper perfectly, and she married the prince.
