Favorite tale

The folktale that I enjoyed the most was The Wicked Stepmother. This one was about a husband and a wife, and there was some sort of spell to where if either of them ate food without each other one would be turned into an animal. Well, the mother did and she was turned into a goat. The husband eventually remarried to a mean women with a daughter who was not fond of his daughter (Cinderella) because she was much prettier. Eventually his new wife had the goat killed and her daughter has been told by her mother to take her bones and bury them and whenever she needs help to go to her bones and she will receive the help she needs. The story is similar to the original based on the fact that there is an evil stepsister, but it is much different because of the events that happened to her birth mother and the fact that there is no slipper, but a nose ring that leads the prince to her.
