The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mothers death and going to her tomb three times a day.In addition，there were only birds that helped Cinderella；there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice，nor was there mention of a horse and carriage. The stepsisters were cruel：they always threw Cinderellas food into the ashes of the fire，and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor，hence(因此) her name. In the original story，the kings ball actually lasted for three days.With the help of the birds，the girl，beautifully dressed，danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her.However，she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the last night，the prince placed something sticky on the stairs；as Cinderella made her escape，a shoe got stuck on it. Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant：when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe，the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But，when they passed the tomb of Cinderellas mother，the birds called out to the prince， “Turn and peep，theres blood within the shoe；The shoe is too small，the true bride waits for you.” Realizing he had been tricked，the prince returned the daughter to her mother；the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe，with the same result.Only Cinderellas foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.T
