Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a kind and beautiful young woman named Cinderella. After the untimely death of her loving mother, her father remarried Cinderella in hopes of providing her with a new family. Unfortunately, his new stepmother was a cruel and selfish woman, and his two half-sisters were just as heartless. They were jealous of Cinderella's beauty and goodness and treated her like a servant in her own house.
