I almost said "b-but they spoiled the ending!" And then I remembered it 's CInderella.

These movies are excellent. Look for them at your library. Even if they don't have them, they can probably order them from another library.

oooh...I want to see these!

Ashpet actually is an American version of the Cinderella story. It's the version from the Appalachin mountains. The hill folk have had their own versions of European folk tales they brought over for ages. The most fampous are their Jack Tales.
