Cinderella
It is about a young woman who is
bullied
by her stepmother and stepsisters. Using magic, her fairy godmother gives her a beautiful dress and a carriage to attend a ball at the palace, but she must return home by midnight before the magic ends. Cinderella meets a handsome prince but has to leave the ball in a hurry and she loses a crystal slipper. The prince finds it and tells everyone he will marry the person to whom the slipper belongs. The stepsisters each try on the slipper but it does fit them. Cinderella tries on the slipper and it fits. She marries the prince and they live happily ever after.
Good may triumph over evil if one is willing to overcome adversity.
