Introduction Cinderella is a fairytale for children that displayed love, loss and miracles; however, when it is further analyzed, it has a deeper meaning. Cinderella is a story about a young girl who became a servant in her own home after her father remarried a malicious woman with two spoiled daughters. She was humiliated and abused yet she remained gentle and kind. She received help from her fairy godmother to go to the prince’s ball after her stepmother rejected her proposal. Cinderella and the Prince fell madly in love but she had to leave at twelve o’clock and forgot to tell him her name but she left her glass slipper behind.

The tale is a about a pretty young girl Cinderella who lives with her step mother and step sisters. They make Cinderella’s life miserable by making her do all the housework but Cinderella never complained. She did everything happily believing that one day her someone (a man) will come and rescue her. Indeed it whatever is dreamt of came to be true. A prince came along and married her but this was only possible through fairy godmother who gave Cinderella the magical appearance (nice dress and shoes and etc ).

In his version Cinderella’s name is Zezolla, her father, the Prince, remarries a woman who hates Zezolla. In the story, Zezolla has a governess who cared for her and instructed Zezolla to kill her stepmother and convince her father to remarry her. She then turns on her and then surprises Zezolla with six of her own daughters who tease and call her “Cat Cinderella” (hence the name Cinderella). Her father then leaves for a trip taking gift requests for each of his seven daughters, remembering to get all but Zezolla’s. When ready to leave, the Prince’s boat would not leave the harbor because the captain had dreamed that the Prince has broken his promise to Zezella.

Once upon a time there was a young maiden named Cinderella who lived with her wicked stepmother and two ugly stepsisters. There was a ball where the Prince danced with a beautiful maiden.
