In this older version of the classic tale of Cinderella, a mother’s last words will guide a young daughter through the difficult times ahead, urging her to “always bear hardship and ill-treatment with patience and kindness, for then happiness will be your lot in the end.” She receives help from the realm of magic, but the real power to rise above her misfortune comes from the wisdom of her mother’s words. Listen now to how Cinderella journeys from ashes to royalty.
In this classic tale by the Brothers Grimm, a father boasts to a king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Can she? With Rumpelstiltskin she can! But what he asks her in trade for his help is more than she can bear. See how she changes her fate when he comes to collect his debt.
