Finette Cendron

Finette Cendron (meaning in English, Cunning Cinders) is a French literary fairy tale written by Madame d'Aulnoy.

[2] Other tales of 510A type include "Cinderella", "Katie Woodencloak", "Fair, Brown and Trembling", "The Sharp Grey Sheep", "Rushen Coatie", or "The Wonderful Birch".

The queen resolved that she could make nets, with which the king could catch birds and fish to support them.

Her godmother gave her a ball of thread that, if she tied to the house door, would lead her back, and a bag with gold and silver dresses.

The king and queen plotted for a third time, and the middle sister said they could leave peas for their path, but Finette brought her jewelry and the bag of clothing instead.

One day, her sisters looked into her bag and found her jewelry; they stole it and put stones in its place.

While they were at work, Finette tricked the ogre into the oven and burned him to cinders.

One day, Finette found an old key; it proved to be gold and to open a chest full of beautiful clothing.

When her sisters left, she dressed herself and followed to the ball, where she called herself Cendron and everyone paid court to her.

When she put on the slipper, the prince wanted to marry her, but Finette insisted that the king, who was the one who had conquered her parents' kingdom, restore it to them first.
