Cinderella

I just found out in today's lecture that Cinderella actually wore fur slippers and not glass slippers like what I've been told since I was young.

Now, fur slippers make so much more sense.

Jo,
it makes more sense because i used to wonder how come kasut tu tak pecah hentak2 kat tangga? pakai special glass ke? so now that i know it was actually fur slippers baru lah logik sikit.ehehe.

Ms.D,
yeah. umm. it was wrongly translated from french. The original cinderella was written in french and she wore 'Vair' which means fur but the english translated it as Glass from the french word 'verre' which is pronounced the same way as 'vair'.

Jo correct me if i got this wrong :)

iqa, i cant believe u ni fikir jauh2 plak. when i was small all i bleh fikir was, wow the glass slippers must be really beautiful! x fikir lak kan klau lari2 turun tangga bleh pecah ke x. LoL u must be a genius=p

but omigod! i hate to think that we got our cinderella story wrong *sobs* that was my fav after snow white. or maybe i like them both. ntah not important.=p

nana,
hehe...mana ada genius lah. i pun taktau nape i pk camtu dulu...and i also fikir how uncomfortable it must be for her to go to the ball wearing that even though kasut tu cantik :)

I was quite sedih to know that all these years we got our cinderella story wrong jugak. :-(

i think its actually fibreglass shoes. the fairy godmother does have access to hyper-advanced technology. she is from Atlantis, the sole survivor of her kind before their island buggered off into the sea. God's truth, i've checked.
