Cinderella is so poor. Cinderella ’s　stepmother has very comfortable and gorgeous room.
This story is very modern age. Because their fashion is new. For example, petticoat, nail,gold flower's gown, and so on. But I think they are blatant fashion.
On the way, stepmother and stepsister went on a diet, but the way is not "eating". Oh, my god!!
This story's differences to orginal. 　This is the jocular part. Cinderella is expressive and charming, crying and yelling. very very funny.
