Cinderella

The princes want her for their bride. On Trembling's third visit to the outside of the church, the Prince of Omanya is waiting for her. In an instant, she is on her horse to get away from him. In order to stop her, the prince seizes Trembling by the foot and she looses one shoe. After an extensive search, the king's son, along with the other princes, discovers that the shoe belongs to Trembling. The princes come from different countries to fight each other in order to make Trembling their bride. King Omanya's son wins the battle and they are married. Years later, her sister, Fair, still jealous of Trembling, pushes Trembling into the sea where a whale swallows her. The prince finds out what happened to his wife from a little cowboy who was walking by the water and reported to the Prince what had happened to the queen, and together they rescue Trembling. Fairs father punishes her for her behavior by having Fair live in a barrel in the sea for seven years. Trembling and the prince have two children and also raise the little cowboy as their own. They decided if they had a daughter, she would become the little cowboy's wife for his heroic deeds. Trembling told her husband, "you could not have saved me from the whale but for the little cowboy; on that account I don't grudge him my daughter."(Curtain) .
             "The story of "Tam and Cam" from Vietnam, is the second story I chose. Even though the theme is the same as the other version, the story unfolds in a different manner than the Irish tale. Tam's father and stepmother have a daughter named Cam. Tam is mistreated by her stepmother and sister. The Goddess of Mercy, who carries a green willow branch, gives Tam a beautiful fish as a gift. Her stepmother then kills the fish and eats it. Tam recovers the bones and buries them. The spot where the fish bones lay becomes magical for her. Tam attends the autumn festival and after her sisters spot her, she runs away.
