Veda #41 : It Was Really A Fairy Tale

Day 41
"What were cinderella's shoes made from?"

Okay so this is a warning. If you don't believe or don't care too much about the fairy tale,please go on. But if you really love the cinderella fairy tale, I suggest you stop reading,or read at your own risk. Cause tonight we're gonna reveal the truth about cinderella's glass shoes.

Most of you probably knew about cinderella's story. To tell long story short, A poor girl, tortured by her step mother and step sisters, imagining to live in the big castle, met with the mother fairy because of her patience, and so on and so on. Until the time she left one of her glass shoe. And the curious prince search the entire region just to find the owner of the shoe.

Okay, did the glass shoe really made from glass?
Here's the interesting thing. It actually wasn't made of glass according to the original story.
The standard explanation for cinderella's famous footwear is that it is the result of a mistranslation, someone having mistaken pantoufle de vair (fur slipper) for pantoufle de verre (glass slipper) when making an English version of Charles Perrault's Histoires ou contes du temps passé avec des moralités (1697). The title of Perrault's collection in English, Stories or Tales of Olden Times with Morals.
But in some other versions from another country, some said that it was made from silk, gold, and crystal.
