The Persian Cinderella

This story is similar to the Cinderella story that everyone has come accustomed too. The exception is that it has a lot of Persian influence throughout the story and has a few different characters. Instead of the typical fairy godmother there is a magical blue jug that helps Settareh, who is Cinderella. Settareh lives with her evil stepsisters and stepmother. She has to overcome their abuse and being neglected by her evil step family. This is a great story to show the difference of how the story is interpreted by the Persian culture.
