What is special about this version of the tale?

This version of Cinderella, her fairy godmother used magic to transform household items into a carriage and drive to take Cinderella to the ball to meet the Prince. Her stepsisters were cruel to her, but once they found out she was the beautiful girl at the ball with the Prince, they begged for her forgiveness.

A brief summary of the plot that highlights any unique variations

Cinderella’s name was unknown, she only became Cinderella after her father remarried. Cinderella was basically the family’s maid, working from morning to night for her stepmother and stepsisters. On the night of the Prince’s ball, she is terribly sad because she cannot attend. Her stepsisters laugh at the thought of her even going since she is only wearing rags. While crying, her fairy godmother magically appears and dresses her in fine clothing and makes a carriage and driver out of a rat trap and a lizard. Cinderella attends the Prince’s ball and dances with the Prince and returns the second day of the ball, where she dances with him the whole evening. At midnight, her clothes become rags once again. The Prince finds her glass shoes and has his herald find her by letting every woman in the kingdom try on the glass shoe. Once the herald finds Cinderella, her and the Prince are married and live happily ever after.
