In a far away, long ago kingdom, Cinderella is living happily with her mother and father until her mother dies. Cinderella's father remarries a cold, cruel woman who has two daughters, Drizella and Anastasia. When the father dies, Cinderella's wicked stepmother turns her into a virtual servant in her own house. Although she hates living this way, she tries to make the best of it. She befriends the birds and mice in the house. Meanwhile, across town in the castle, the King determines that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride and provide him with a required number of grandchildren. So the King invites every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy dress ball, where his son will be able to choose his bride. A royal messenger shows up at the cheateau with an invitation. Cinderella shows it to her stepmom and says she can go after she finishes her chores and only if she finds something suitable to wear. Cinderella finds an old dress of her mother and wants to alternate it. However, her stepmother makes her do so many chores that she's never going to be able to finish it on time.
What would you do if you were Cinderella at this point?
Sneak out and go to the party in an the old dress without alternation.
Just give up and stay home.. without the chance of marrying the prince.
