George Washington and the Cherry Tree (American legend)

The Indian Cinderella (Canadian Native-American tale)
This is a variation of the popular Cinderella story (there are over 700 versions throughout the world). In this version, a beautiful, young Indian woman was the victim of mean, jealous older sisters who disguised themselves, then cut off their sister's hair and scarred her face, drastically disfiguring her. The older sisters then lied to their father, denying their involvement. The strongest Indian warrior in the village, named Strong Wind the Invisible, could only be seen by the virtuous. Because of her honesty, the young scarred woman was able to see Strong Wind. And because of her strength of character, Strong Wind was able to see her beauty 'inside.'
