In the story written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Cinderella is thrilled to attend this banquet. After the birds finish picking out the peas, Cinderella brought the dishes to her stepmother, excitement pumping throughout her body. Finally becoming irritated with Cinderella’s persistence, the mother tells her that she would only put herself and her daughters to shame if she were to attend. Leaving Cinderella at home, they made their way to the fantastic feast. Despair now burning within her, Cinderella yells out, ““Shake, shake, hazel-tree, gold and silver over me!” / Then her friend the bird flew out of the tree and brought a gold and silver dress for her, and slippers of spangled silk; and she put them on, and followed her sisters to the feast” (Grimm 2).
