Cindrella : Dreams Come True

The main character \'Cinderella\' in French is \'Cendrillon\' meaning \'covered by ashes\' or worthless. However, the word \'Cinderella\' now has a much better meaning. It means, becoming successful overnight. This story makes one think about real beauty—being beautiful inside. The stepmother and the stepsisters treat Cinderella badly but Cinderella continues to be nice to them. The story also shows that goodness is rewarded, and teaches children to be kind and warm hearted. But perhaps, the magical moments of the story, when the pumpkin, the mice and the lizard transform at the tap of the wand, are a child\'s favourite and also help to stimulate the imagination.
