A Fur Slipper?

Did you know that the original French version of the Cinderella story features a fur slipper instead of glass one? The confusion arose from the similarity of a French word for white fur (vair), which resembled the word glass (verre). 


Just imagine Prince Charming riding around with a fur slipper instead of a glass one...somehow it wouldn't be the same.
