Living with her father and her mean step-sisters, who always tease her and treat her badly, Cinderella often visits her mother's grave and cries about all the bad things that her sisters do or say to her. One day, her father asked if she would like a gift and what would it be and she made a simple request: give me the first branch that sticks to you. Her wish was granted and she planted the branch on her mother's grave, her hope of her life changing giving birth to a tree. Afterwards, when the prince is searching for the girl of the glass slipper, the step-sisters mutilated their feet so they would fit and, when he is taking them to the palace, the birds, friends of Cinderella, warned him that there was blood on the shoe, affirming he was being tricked. The prince found out Cinderella was the true owner of the glass slipper and took her to the palace while the birds, as punishment, peck the sisters' eyes, leaving them blind.
