The tree gave her good clothes and shoes and she went to the dance. then, when Zezolla came out of the dance, she went so fast in a cartridge, that one of her slippers came off. The king made every woman in the land try on the shoe, it did not matter if the person was ugly, poor, rich, or in any other conditions. He just wanted to be with them.
