Cinderella - Children's Classic Fairy Tale

Charles Perrault

Summary

Cinderella is a classic tale of resilience, magic, and transformation. In a grand estate, a widowed gentleman dotes on his beautiful and kind daughter, who embodies grace and compassion. However, his second marriage introduces a stark contrast—a proud and haughty woman with two equally vain and selfish daughters. The narrative takes a poignant turn as the once-charmed life of the young girl descends into servitude, burdened with endless chores imposed by her wicked stepmother. Enduring mistreatment with unwavering patience, the girl earns the derogatory moniker "Cinderella" due to the ashes that often cloak her. Despite the cruelty, Cinderella remains silent, shielding her father from the harsh truth. The plot takes a magical twist when the prince announces a royal ball, inviting all in the kingdom. Cinderella's stepsisters mockingly prepare for the grand event, asserting that maids are unworthy of such gatherings. Left behind in despair, Cinderella's fate changes with the arrival of her Fairy Godmother—a benevolent enchantress determined to grant her a night of wonder. The Fairy Godmother, with a wave of her magical wand, transforms a humble pumpkin into a golden carriage, mice into majestic horses, a rat into a coachman, and lizards into elegant footmen. Cinderella's rags morph into a resplendent gown adorned with jewels, complemented by delicate glass slippers. The Fairy Godmother, while encouraging Cinderella to revel in the festivities, issues a crucial warning: the enchantment will dissolve at midnight. As Cinderella graces the royal ball, the narrative explores themes of magic, grace, and the fleeting nature of transformation.
