In a small cottage there lived a beautiful girl with her father. Her mother had died many years ago, so her father married another woman. She was a widow from the neighbouring village who then moved into his house with her two daughters.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, her father also died shortly after the wedding. The poor girl now lived with her stepmother and her lazy sisters, who would only dress up, look at themselves in the mirror all day long and try on new dresses.

Meanwhile, the orphan worked hard. Dressed in an old shirt, she washed, cooked and lit the fire. Her sisters made fun of her. And because her face was always covered in cinder so they called her Cinderella.

One day a royal messenger announced the hosting of a palace ball, at which time the young prince would choose his future wife. All the young women in the kingdom were invited.
