Have Courage, Be Kind: The Tale of Cinderella

by Brittany Candau

“You must always remember this: Have courage, and be kind. You have more kindness in your little finger than most people possess in their whole body. And it has power. More than you know.”

Where there is kindness, there is goodness. And where there is goodness, there is happiness. Have courage, and be kind.

“Just because it’s what’s done, doesn’t mean it’s what should be done,” Cinderella countered.

Yes, she was no longer Ella. Her experiences had changed her, and she had grown into Cinderella. But she suddenly realized that she liked who that person was. A person who still valued kindness and courage more than anything. A person who would stick up for what was right. A person who believed that goodness had power. And she knew her parents would have liked that person, too.
