An old story tells of a rich merchant in a beautiful country who had a beautiful daughter named Cinderella.

Father and daughter lived alone in a splendid house because the merchant had been widowed. Cinderella's mother had been as beautiful as her daughter, but a regrettable illness had taken her life.

They lived alone for a few years until the father decided that his daughter deserved the attention and care of a new mother. Therefore, he married a respectable lady, who also had two daughters about the same age as Cinderella, although both of them were completely outdone by Cinderella's beauty.

Therefore, from the beginning, the new stepmother and her daughters looked at the tender Cinderella with deep envy.

A few more years passed, and misfortune would overtake the beautiful girl. Her father also died unexpectedly, so control of the house and the family fortune fell to her stepmother, who squandered it indulging her whims and those of her daughters.

Under their despotic regime, Cinderella ended up as a servant in the house of her birth, and by rights she deserved more than these.

Her days became torturous, as she had to do everything around the house, while her stepsisters and stepmother lived rampantly, doing nothing but exploit her.

One day, news reached the house that the king was holding a ball where a girl would be chosen for the prince's marriage.

Cinderella, who had seen the prince on several occasions and liked him, asked her stepmother if she could go.

Mockingly, the stepmother told her that if she did all her homework by that date and found a decent dress, she would allow her and her daughters to attend.

However, during those days, she overloaded the girl with so much work that if it hadn't been for the help of the house animals, Cinderella's only friends, she certainly wouldn't have finished on time, much less had a beautiful dress to wear.

So, the appointed day arrived, and Cinderella, with everything finished, went down to the hall in a beautiful dress that had belonged to her mother and that her friends had helped her prepare for the occasion.

Enraged, the stepsisters threw themselves at her and destroyed her dress, leaving Cinderella with no choice but to burst into tears of helplessness while her stepmother and her envious, unprepossessing daughters went to the ball.

Cinderella cried so much that her sobs reached the ears of the Fairy Godmother of Impossible Causes, who went to the former home of a rich merchant and his beautiful daughter.

Seeing the girl and learning the cause of her crying, the Fairy Godmother told her she would make it possible for her to go to the ball, provided she returned before the end of the 12 chimes that announced midnight.

Cinderella agreed, and with just a few flicks of the fairy's wand, she was divinely dressed for the occasion.

He also had at his disposal a beautiful carriage made from a pumpkin and service staff, who were his animal friends transformed by magic.
