They discuss who is more beautiful of the two and who will be chosen by the Prince to become his wife.

Scene 2

Cinderella’s god mother, a Fairy, brings her to the fairy wood. The Fairy wants to reward Cinderella for her kindness and patience. She turns Cinderella’s old dress into a wonderful ball gown, makes a carriage from a pumpkin and gives Cinderella magic shoes. 
Cinderella’s dream has come true — she’s going to the ball. The only thing is that she must leave the palace at midnight, at the time when the magic things will lose its power.

The ball at the palace. The King greets his guests. Cinderella arrives. Everybody is enchanted by the unknown beauty. The Prince falls in love with her. The Kind Magician sends them together to a magic country. The Prince tells Cinderella of his love. 
The clock is striking midnight. Cinderella runs away leaving a shoe in a hurry. The Kings suggests that they should find her using the shoe: if the shoe fits a girl, the girl will become the Prince’s fiancйe. The corporal and soldiers hurry to execute the order.
