2.Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.However,he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters,such as Cinderella and Snow White.They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day.In addition,there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice,nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel:they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor,hence(因此)her name.
In the original story,the king's ball actually lasted for three days.With the help of the birds,the girl,beautifully dressed,danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her.However,she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the last night,the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape,a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant:when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe,the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother,the birds called out to the prince,
"Turn and peep,there's blood in the shoe;
the shoe is too small,the true bride waits for you."
Realizing he had been tricked,the prince returned the daughter to her mother.The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe,with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day:as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her,pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches,two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood,they had to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.
