In the Grimm Brothers’ version, Cinderella is a kind and pious girl who is cruelly mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters after her father remarries. She is forced to do all the housework and is given the demeaning nickname “Aschenputtel” (Ashgirl). Despite the hardship, she remains good and kind, praying at her mother’s grave. Aided by a magical white bird that resides in a tree planted on her mother’s grave, she attends a royal festival, where she captivates the prince. The story culminates with the prince searching for her, and after a test with a slipper, he recognizes her and they marry, with the stepsisters facing punishment for their cruelty.
