11:57 pm - Cinderella struts her stuff, trips on third step down
breaking heel of glass slipper.
11:59 pm - Cinderella rushes to her magical chariot, quickly winds up mechanical mice.
12:02 am - Cinderella is seen thumbing a ride in a tattered dishrag, as blood streams
                   down her arm, as she holds a broken glass slipper.
Next Day: Prince Charming finds 2 dozen mechanical wind up mice floating in his moat.
Later That Day: Fairy Godmother sends bill to Cinderella for destruction of mice.
