The most opponent difference between these two stories is the characters. Even the name of the main character is different. It is not Cinderella in either story. In Grimm’s Fairytale the girl’s name is Aschenputtel, whereas she was named O

The story takes place in a large village of the MicMac Indians. The “prince” in this story is a young man who cannot be seen by an
