What is a small graceful shoe stuck in the tar after the royal ball is good for?
Why, nothing – without the lovely little foot fitting into it, at least for the prince…
But It can make the wicked and envious sisters cut a big toe and a piece of their respective soles …
And it can earn a wedding for the poor orphan girl …
And finally, it can conjure wrinkles on the forehead of the intriguer stepmother..
