Cinderella

...But the prince insisted on it, and they had to call Cinderella.

She first washed her hands and face clean, and then went and bowed down before the prince, who gave her the glass shoe. She sat down on a stool, pulled her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and put it into the slipper, and it fitted her perfectly.

When she stood up the prince looked into her face, and he recognized the beautiful girl who had danced with him. He cried out, "She is my true bride."

The stepmother and the two sisters were horrified and turned pale with anger. The prince, however, took Cinderella onto his horse and rode away with her. As they passed by the hazel tree, the two white pigeons cried out:

 

Rook di goo, rook di goo!
No blood's in the shoe.
The shoe's not too tight,
This bride is right!
