I have read many books in my childhood – like story books, comics and so on. I would like to talk about my favourite fairy tale character – CinderellaI read this story in the book – Grimm’s Fairy Tales. This book has many fairy tales, like The Frog Prince, Snowhite, etc., but the Cinderella story always fascinated me the most. The story is about Cinderella being mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, after the untimely death of her father. She is made to work as a maid in her own home. She is helped by her Fairy Godmother to get a dress and glass shoes, so that she can attend the Royal Ball. The dress is made using magic and she has to return home before midnight. She leaves in a hurry and leaves behind one of her glass shoes. The Prince Charming finds her because of that glass shoe and they get married live happily ever after. The character of Cinderella has left a lasting impression on me. Even though she is ill treated by her stepmother and stepsisters, she is always kind to them and never complained. Her character also teaches me the importance of hard work and patience. It is because of her character that I believe that we can fight evil with a good and kind heart. And also that we should not lose hope when times are tough. I still have the book and even though its pages have turned yellow, it is still very special to me. Whenever my 4 years old niece comes home, I read her stories from this book and Cinderella is her favourite story too.
