Become Cinderella instead of Sleeping Beauty. The difference between Sleeping Beauty

and Cinderella is that Sleeping Beauty slept for a hundred years. Cinderella got up in the

morning and got out of bed. She got dressed. She used her step sisters... to give her

information about a very key event. Then she plugged in to her mentor, the fairy

godmother, who had resources little animals and a pumpkin! that were utili"ed on her

behalf. #hen she got to the ball, she was imaged appropriately and knew how to dance.

$nd then, she knew when to leave.%
