The Real Cinderella Story

Now we all think we know the story of Cinderella, right? We've read the story books! We know about the ugly sisters and the amazing glass slippers!
We know about the pumpkin turned into a coach and pulled along by mice!
We know about the clock chiming at midnight and breaking the magic spell!
And we know about the handsome Prince and the way he chooses his princess-to-be by the size of her feet! (That poor Prince had real problems!)
But does all that sound believable to you? Does that sound real? Do you think that could possibly be what happened?

Well, guess what folks, have I got a story for you! That's not how it happened at all! You see, I have the real Cinderella story! So gather round, folks, and make yourselves comfortable because I'm going to tell you what really happened…
