Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo!

If I had to choose which one of the Cinderella stories I liked the most I would have to say that I really enjoyed the Chinese version of the story. I liked the story cause I felt like it had a lot more of the Chinese culture than the Disney version had American culture or the Grimm version had German culture. It was a story about magic and fantasy but the magic did not come from a fairy godmother or a dead mother but a fish from the natural world. I liked that the story showed how the fish and the natural world was still important. The Chinese calendar revolves around animals and their importance to humans and the story showed this. The thing I didn't really like about the Chinese version is the ending. It was not a fairytale in the end of the story. She did not become a royal princess and live happily ever after but it did teach a good lesson about greed.
