I think it could be homework because you haven't answered emsr2d2's questions in post #7.

@Lily of a valley I googled "Cinderella". How long did it take me to get results? Not long. (Less than a second.) How easy was it? Very easy. I suggest that you do the same and post here what you find.

There are a series of questions to be answered with a "yes" or "no" about the Cinderella fairy tale.

Which is the correct answer to question 3:
  1. Did a beautiful girl go to a king's ball where she met a prince?
  2. Did the girl have a stepsister?
  3. Did a prince come to Cinderella's house to see her?
I guess the correct answer is "Yes, one did".
It took me a while to figure it out.

The story of Cinderella has been around for a long time, being told in many languages. It is a well-known fairy tale. You might say, "Everybody knows that." Apparently not.

I'm sure that's true but I'm baffled as to why the OP would attempt to answer three questions about a book they'd never read.

The OP logged in again this morning but did not answer my question as to whether this is homework. I have given her a warning.

The OP has failed to answer any of our queries about whether this is homework. I'm inclined to close the thread if no answer is forthcoming in the next 24 hours.

Yes! Please do us a favor and close this thread. The clock has struck midnight and it is time for Prince Charming to find his slipperless damsel. :cool:
