The walk that day started quite normally for another cold and foggy winter day. And then a very unusual event happened because of which I had to change my plan…

It’s hard to imagine exciting events on cold winter days when people mostly hide in houses and only go out when they have to. Nevertheless, in front of the school we came across a trace of an interesting story that was worth following. Cinderella seems to have escaped this way again!

Is this the Prince Charming looking for Cinderella? Let’s help him find her!

I certainly am not Sherlock Holmes, but we could start the search with a basic thing: Cinderella was left without a shoe and she is probably looking for another, or another beautiful pair of shoes. Let’s see, where could she go? The shoe stores were closed because of the corona dance, except for the most expensive ones, which Cinderella certainly could not go to, having in mind her financial situation. So, the only place where I could find decent and cheap shoes, is… flea market again!

Here are some sneakers she might like. “Gentlemen, did Cinderella come to see you?”

No? Well, maybe she is still looking for feminine and elegant shoes that can be found here…

Could this be our Cinderella?

No, this is our Bosilyka, who we’ve been able to see several times already. Great model. Maybe Cinderella didn’t come here to sell something? Christmas tree decorations are in high demand now…

Madam, have you maybe seen… a mistake, I'm sorry.

It’s cold, maybe after this cold she stopped by for a hot drink. Let’s ask the people who gather there…

“What’s that? A Cnyderella? We don’t know her.” We won’t just give up! Let’s see at our fruit sellers. A lot of people gather there because everyone needs vitamins to strengthen the immune system, maybe she was there too…

Did people see her at the entrance to the market? No?

We’ll ask by phone. “Who? Cinderella? I did not see her.”

“Cinderella? I only saw one creepy doll.”

Unfortunately, today we were not lucky enough to find Cinderella, but at the end of the day we found something much rarer than a character from a fairy tale – a young man who is interested in books at this time of smartphones! Great!

We will continue our search next week.

Cheers till then!
