Cinderella
A rich man has a sick wife. She feels that she will soon die and calls her daughter to her. She says, “Dear child, always be good and kind, and God will help you. I will look after you in heaven.” Then she closes her eyes and dies.
The daughter visits her mother's grave every day, weeps and remains good and kind. When winter comes, snow covers the grave. In spring, the sun melts the snow again. The father remarries. The new wife brings two daughters who are beautiful on the outside but evil on the inside.
The stepdaughter now experiences a very difficult time. The stepsisters say, “She shouldn't sit in our room! If you want to eat, you have to work. Take her out to the kitchen!” They take away her beautiful clothes, dress her in an old smock, and give her wooden shoes. They make fun of her and call her Cinderella because she sleeps with the ashes. She has to work hard from morning till night and the sisters torment her every day.
One day, the father asks his two stepdaughters what they want as he is travelling to the fair. One wants beautiful dresses, the other pearls and precious stones. Cinderella asks her father for the first branch that brushes his hat on the way home. The father buys the dresses and jewellery for his stepdaughters and, on the way home, breaks off a hazel branch that grazes his hat. At home, he gives his daughters their presents and the hazel branch to Cinderella. Cinderella plants the hazel at her mother's grave, where it grows into a beautiful tree. She visits the tree every day. She prays, and a white bird fulfills her wishes.
The king organizes a three-day festival to which all the young women are invited so that his son can find a bride. The stepsisters get ready and order Cinderella to help them. Cinderella is told not to go because she is dirty and without clothes. After persistent pleading, the stepmother makes a condition: Cinderella is to sort out lentils that she has thrown into the ashes. Cinderella asks the birds to help her sort out the lentils. She tells them, “The good ones in the pot, the bad ones into the pot.”
Lots of pigeons come in through the kitchen window. Soon after, all the birds of the air are buzzing around and perching on the ashes. The pigeons start pecking and soon all the birds are pecking and collecting the good grains into a bowl. Within an hour they are finished and fly away again. The girl takes the full bowl to her stepmother and hopes that she will now be allowed to go to the wedding. But the stepmother says, “No, Cinderella, you have no fit clothes and you cannot dance. You will be laughed at.” As Cinderella cries, the stepmother makes another condition. She says, “If you can pick two bowls of lentils out of the ashes in an hour, you can come with us.” She thinks that Cinderella will never be able to do this. After she has thrown the lentils into the ashes, the girl goes into the garden and calls out, “You tame doves and all the birds of the air, come and help me. “The good ones into the pot, the bad ones into the pot.”
Many pigeons come in through the kitchen window. Soon after, many small birds come and sit around the ashes. The pigeons start pecking, and then all the birds peck and collect the good grains in the bowls. Before half an hour has passed, they are finished and fly away. The girl takes the bowls to her stepmother, is happy, and thinks that she can now go to the wedding. But the stepmother says, “That won't do you any good. You are not going because you don't have any clothes and you cannot dance. We don't want to be ashamed of you.” Then she turns around and leaves with her daughters.
When no one is at home, Cinderella goes to her mother's grave under the hazel tree and calls out, “Little tree, shake thee and shake thee, Throw gold and silver over me.”
A bird throws Cinderella a gold and silver dress and slippers. Cinderella quickly puts on the dress and goes to the wedding. Her stepsisters and stepmother do not recognize her. They think she is a foreign princess because she looks so beautiful. They believe that Cinderella is sitting at home in the dirt, sorting lentils. The prince goes to Cinderella, takes her by the hand and dances only with her. He holds her hand tightly and says to others who ask Cinderella to dance, “This is my dancer.”
They dance until the evening. Then Cinderella wants to go home. The prince insists on accompanying her. He wants to know where the beautiful girl comes from. But Cinderella escapes him and jumps into the dovecote. The prince waits until Cinderella's father arrives and tells him that the strange girl has jumped into the dovecote. The father suspects that it could be Cinderella and has an axe and hoe brought to him to break open the dovecote. But he finds no one inside. At home, Cinderella lies in her dirty clothes in the ashes while a faint oil lamp burns. Cinderella quickly jumped from the dovecote to the hazel tree, took off her beautiful clothes, laid them on the grave, and left the dress for the bird.
Then she wrapped herself in her grey smock again and sat down in the kitchen with the ashes. The next day, when the festival begins again and her family is away again, Cinderella goes to the hazel tree and says, “Little tree, shake yourself and shake yourself, Throw gold and silver over me.” The bird then throws down an even more splendid dress than the day before. Wearing this dress to the wedding, Cinderella is astonished by her beauty. The prince, who has been waiting for Cinderella, immediately takes her by the hand and dances with her. When others ask her to dance, he says, “That's my dancer.” In the evening, Cinderella tries to leave, and the prince follows her to see where she goes. But Cinderella escapes him, jumps into the garden, and skillfully climbs a large tree like a squirrel. The prince does not know where she is. He waits until her father arrives and tells him that the strange girl may have jumped up the tree. The father surmises that it could be Cinderella. He has an axe brought to him and cuts down the tree, but he finds no one. In the kitchen, Cinderella lies in the ashes, as usual, because she has jumped down the other side of the tree, run to the hazel tree, returned the bird's beautiful clothes, and put her grey smock back on.
On the third day, when the family has gone, Cinderella goes back to her mother's grave and speaks to the little tree, “Little tree, shake yourself and shake yourself, throw gold and silver over me.
