Yes, the fairy tale is about a girl, Cinderella, who is treated like a servant by her stepmother and stepsisters, who is invited to a palace for a ball. But what is it really about?

It's about looking past the appearance of someone who does the dirty work and finding someone who is truly beautiful and worthy of being treated like a princess. It's about having someone like a fairy godmother come to your rescue and making it possible for you to dress beautifully and travel in style. It's about what can happen when someone (like the fairy godmother) gives you an opportunity to make good things happen.

It's about finding a prince of a man who will treat you like a princess. It's about having a curfew and the consequences of losing track of time. It's about overcoming obstacles -The prince and she fall in love but he has no idea of who she is - but by using the only clue he has (the glass slipper) he is able to pursue his dream of finding and marrying the beautiful girl he met at the ball.

It's about having dreams come true. It's about living happily ever after.

Many storytellers have told this tale. Walt Disney made a musical cartoon movie that became well known. This has been a musical play produced on Broadway. It has been produced as a radio play (one of the Let's Pretend series). It has been illustrated by different artists in children's books. It has been the basis of many novels with a heroine called Cindy or Ella.
