Cinderella is a heartwarming rags to riches tale, and yeah the version we know today is said, what with Cinderella being an orphan and everything but beyond that - Cinders does get a benevolent fairy godmother who helps her with her sisters and wicked stepmother. It all works out alright in the end, though - that slipper fits and she marries her prince. In the original version, her ghastly sisters chop parts of their own feet off to be able to fit in the slipper. The prince only finds out when he finds blood in the shoe. Eventually, he does find out that Cinderella is the true owner of the slipper and they get married, but that isn't all... doves peck out her stepsister's eyes.
