Sinopse

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.

    "Hey Diddle Diddle, the Cat and the Fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon! The little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran off with the spoon." Perhaps you think this verse is all nonsense, and that the things it mentions could never have happened; but they did happen, as you will understand when Frank Baum has explained them all to you clearly. 
    Little Bobby was the only son of a small farmer who lived out of town upon a country road. Bobby's mother looked after the house and Bobby's father took care of the farm, and Bobby himself, who was not very big, helped them both as much as he was able. 
    It was lonely upon the farm, especially when his father and mother were both busy at work, but the boy had one way to amuse himself that served to pass many an hour when he would not otherwise have known what to do. He was very fond of music, and his father one day brought him from the town a small fiddle, or violin, which he soon learned to play upon. I don't suppose he was a very fine musician, but the tunes he played pleased himself, as well as his father and mother, and Bobby's fiddle soon became his constant companion. To find out how the cow and the cat and the moon became involved, you will need to listen to this delightful talk and be much the wiser.
