Cinderella (Aschenputtel) fun:
[Aschenputtel] Attends all 3 nights of the feast, transformed. On the 1st and 2nd night: Dances with the Prince all night exclusively. His comment to other suitors is ‘The Lady is dancing with me’. Prince wants to walk her home both nights but she runs away from him. 1st night, hides in pigeon house 2nd night, hides in pear tree. Prince follows and gets her father to look for her both times but they find nothing. 3rd night – Aschenputtel dances exclusively with the prince again. He is determined not to lose her and makes the stairs sticky to slow her down. Doesn’t catch her but does get her slipper.
Prince declares he will marry the lady who fits the slipper.
Sister 1 tries on shoe – cuts off toe to make it fit. Taken as the royal bride. Bird sings to Prince on way to the palace – Sister 1 is a fraud.
Sister 2 tries on shoe – cuts off part of heel to make it fit. Taken as the royal bride. Bird sings to Prince on way to the palace – Sister 2 is a fraud.
Prince asks is there are any other daughters. Aschenputtel cleans herself up and tries the shoe. It fits. She is taken as the royal bride. The bird that has watched over her goes to the palace with her perched on her shoulder.
On the way to (and from) the wedding the birds pick out the eyes of the stepsisters as punishment for their wickedness and falsehood.
