Cinderella stared at the spider.

“Let me make sure I understand. You and your family will spin a dress for me and help me get to the ball if I pass a law that lets you live safely in the palace if I marry the prince?"

"That's right," the spider said. "Do we have a deal?"

Cinderella has one last chance to escape her stepmother and find happiness, but can she uphold her end of the bargain? Can a gown of spider silk really change her fate and help her win true love? See for yourself in this short retelling of Cinderella.
