That’s not what I remember….

Today’s Harvard Classic reading was Grimm’s Tales – Cinderella.
Wow, is it different than the story I knew (I think most of the tales are)?
First, she’s called Cinderalla because the step-sisters make her sleep in the ashes by the fire and was always dusty and dirty.
Second, there is no fairy godmother
Third, the shoes DO fit the step-sisters because one step-sister cuts off her big toe and the other cuts off part of her heel, so they’ll fit.
Fourth, birds peck out both sisters’ eyes, so they are blind at the end for being wicked and telling falsehoods.
