After Happy Ever After
The gypsy (Roma) version of Cinderella begins at the happy ever after point. The Ugly Sisters live in the same house as Cinderella and the Prince, whom they flirt with. Cinderella's children are stolen and she is turned into a sow. Although she finds the children and protects them, she is killed by the Prince's hunt. At the feast the children beg for the sow's liver. Somehow this reunites them with their father. In some versions Cinderella comes back to life, in some versions not.

Famous quotes containing the word happy:
“Does the first wild-goose care
whether the others follow or not?
I don’t think so he is so happy to be off
he knows where he is going
so we must be drawn or we must fly,
like the snow-geese of the Arctic circle.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
