Cinderella
 
Cinderella sees beautiful things in her daydreams, and tries to
live her little, starved life in a way to deserve them. Her stepmother
and sisters catch her idling, and tear up the dress she has made
from their discarded ones. After they have departed for the Prince's
ball, the Fairy Godmother appears, provides Cinderella with a
dress which puts her sisters' glamourous gowns to shame, and sends
her off to the ball in a golden coach. At the ball she captivates
the Prince, but stays too long, loses her slipper, and escapes
pursuit only after a breathless chase. Next day, when the Prince
comes looking for his lost Princess, he tries the slipper on both
step-sisters, each trying vainly to get it on, and is ready to
leave before he discovers his Princess.
