It is a masked ball, on account of the virus. Strange that it occurs at all this year. Cindy considers how the rich tend to get their way, when an old woman appears saying, “You shall go to the ball.” Cindy declines. She hates extravagance, preferring a simple life. The visitor, keen to show off her skills, points to a pumpkin, swearing she can turn it into a Lamborghini. Cindy is unimpressed. She walks the visitor to the ball where they turn all the cars into pumpkins and distribute them to the hungry families in the town.

Great story! Loved the twist and I'd love to be in the car park when those at the ball come to go home :)

Cinderella was always a kind, caring character. Nice modern fairy tale.
