You march upstairs to go to your room, when yourstepmother yells, “You will do your chores, or else I’m sendingyou to boarding school!” You…
Do your chores as asked
Ignore your stepmother and
continue marching upstairs to go read

In the window there is a pair of glass slippers ondisplay. You go inside the store to ask about them, and find outthey are wearable. They would go perfectly with your dress, but sowould the heels! Which do you choose?

You are now ready to attend the ball. You…
