The heart and soul of the Cinderella fairy tale is the moment in time when, with the help of loved ones and friends, you transform yourself from the ordinary into the extraordinary. There is a little pumpkin stem filigree on top of the carriage, which had been a pumpkin, and the lead horse is confronting the local cat, since the horse has, until recently, been a mouse. There is a flock of birds leading your eye toward the prince's castle and the geese lead you back to the central image.
