This Mexican version of Cinderella has many similarities and differences to a "true" Cinderella story. The role of the fairy godmother is played by a human, no shoe is lost, there is no magic, and Adelita uses her wits to lead the prince to her by hanging her robozo from the window so he can find her. In the end, it wraps with her inviting the horrid stepmother and stepsisters to live with her happily ever after. I'm not so sure I would be as nice! It led to a great classroom conversation on not holding grudges and sharing lifes pleasures.
