Perrault added a moral to the end of Cinderella: "A woman's beauty is a rare treasure, but even richer in value is courtesy. "Courtesy" comes from "court"--it's a royal word, and it made Cinderella a queen. So, take heed! If you wish to win a prince's heart, courtesy is more vital than elegant hair. It's the true gift of the Fairies. With it you can accomplish anything"
