As a child, my mother read a lot of fairy tales to me, I liked to listen to them before going to bed and, imagining fabulous pictures, fall asleep to the sound of my mother's voice. I liked a lot of fairy tales: both Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs, but the fairy tale about Cinderella became my favorite.

This story is about a girl with a kind heart whose father married an angry, grumpy woman. The stepmother had two own daughters, whom she loved very much, but her stepdaughter was not enough love. Cinderella had to endure reproaches and humiliation, doing dirty hard work, and there was no one to intercede for her. The father could not argue with his wife, he was weak-willed and weak-willed. But, despite all the insults, Cinderella still did not become embittered, she retained warmth and softness. The girl was skillful, and any work in her hands was argued. Once they were invited to the royal ball, but the stepmother forbade Cinderella to go, in the hope that one of her daughters could charm the prince and marry him. This was not destined to happen, because the fairy godmother helped Cinderella, and she still managed to get to the ball. There she met the prince, and feelings arose between them. But she had to leave the palace before midnight. The fairy tale has a happy ending - the prince found his beloved and they got married, despite all the obstacles.

I think that every girl would like to be a princess, because princesses live in the palace, they have many beautiful dresses. But how many girls would like to be like Cinderella? After all, her life was very difficult before meeting the prince. It seems to me that Cinderella today is the same girl who has a very difficult time, but she has a good heart and she tries to share kindness with other people. Perhaps the modern Cinderella has no parents and lives in an orphanage or with evil relatives. She really wants a loving family and, of course, at least sometimes a holiday in life.

The story teaches us a lot. For example, the fact that for work and efforts will always be repaid in good coin. This is exactly what happened to the main character. Cinderella was hardworking, did not harbor anger and resentment towards her sisters and stepmother, despite everything they did. «Cinderella» teaches not only to be kind and condescending, but also hardworking. After all, it was thanks to her diligence that the girl got to the ball, where she met the prince.
