Cinderella lived with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters who treated her badly and made her work all day. She found an old dress that she and her mice and bird friends fixed up so she could go to the ball, but her stepfamily ruined it. Her fairy godmother appeared and used magic to transform a pumpkin into a carriage and Cinderella's dress so she could go to the ball, where she met and fell in love with the prince. She had to hurriedly leave at midnight, losing one of her glass slippers. The prince searched for the girl whose foot fit the slipper, and found Cinderella, and they lived happily ever after.
