Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant:when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe,the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But,when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother,the birds called out to the prince,
“Turn and peep,there's blood within the shoe;The shoe is too small,the true bride waits for you.”
Realizing he had been tricked,the prince returned the daughter to her mother;the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe,with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day:as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her,pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches,two birds flew by and plucked(啄)out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood,they had to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes;it indeed was a wise move.
