Cinderella for a day
Years, fashions and aspirations may pass, but dreams never change. It’s useless to deny it, all of us empathized with the story of Cinderella, and with that great love blossomed like magic in the royal palace. We trembled with her when her stepmother did everything to prevent her from participating in the big dance, we heard from under the skin her fear not to make it in time, not to have the right dress, to look bad. We shared her excitement when on that magical evening the Prince finds her among a thousand others, she, beautiful in the blue silk and pearls dress, and he asks her to dance. And we felt the heart soar when the page sent by the Prince knocked on every door in the city to find the unknown girl and discovered that the glass slipper lost at midnight perfectly fitted the foot of Cinderella.
All of us would have liked to be in her shoes, all of us would like to be Cinderella. At least for a day.
