The King invites every eligible maiden to attend to a ball for the Prince returning home, and he shall pick one of them to become his bride. The stepmothers forbid her from going and she is forced to stay at home. Her fairy godmother appears and turns a pumpkin and mice into a beautiful horse and Carriage with footmen. She then turns Cinderella's rag dress into a beautiful ball gown. She goes to the ball and dances all night with the Prince. She leaves at midnight and everything goes back to the way it was, she losing a slipper on the steps.
