The story is about a beautiful girl named Cinderella, she was living a happy life until her mother died, that lead to her father remarrying,  her father ended up marrying an evil woman. The woman came along with her two mean ugly daughters. At first, the evil woman and her daughters were kind to Cinderella but that changed soon after Cinderella's father followed her mother to the grave. They treated her like a maid and gave her a room in their attic.

The prince was looking for a princess to marry so they decided to invite everyone to a ball. Like most of the women, Cinderella wanted to attend the ball so she asked her evil stepmother if she can, she said yes but with hard conditions, she had to clean the whole castle. After cleaning the whole castle Cinderella had time to make a dress, she made a beautiful pink dress. When it was time for the ball her evil stepmother and ugly stepsisters saw her dress and ripped it up with scissors. Cinderella was left devastated when her mother and sisters left the house for the ball and she was left with her tornup dress.


When they're gone Cinderella sat down and cried, when all of a sudden a fairy god mother appeared. She gave Cinderella a blue dress, and a ride to the ball but the spell will only last until midnight. When Cinderella arrived at the ball everyone was mesmerized by her beauty, this caused the prince to go up to her and asked her for a dance. Cinderella had danced and talked the whole night with the prince that Cinderella almost lost track of time, when Cinderella looked at the clock she only had realized it was almost midnight, so Cinderella rushed to get home without saying goodbye to the prince, as she was running she dropped her glass slipper.

Cinderella arrived home just in time her dress and ride disappears and before her evil stepmother and ugly step sisters got home. The day after the prince's herald searched for the princess that fits the glass slipper, he went to Cinderella's home but the ugly step sister only got the chance to try the slipper but it didn't fit so the herald ask if there's anyone, her evil stepmother denied it but Cinderella appeared and asked him if she could, the slipper fit in Cinderella's foot, both her stepmother and stepsisters were shocked.

The herald took Cinderella to the prince and he decided to marry Cinderella and they lived happily ever after.
