===={{lang|mt|italic=no|Ċiklemfusa}} from Malta==== The Maltese Cinderella is named {{lang|mt|italic=no|Ċiklemfusa}}. She is portrayed as an orphaned child in her early childhood. Before his death, her father gave her three magical objects: a chestnut, a nut and an almond. She used to work as a servant in the King's palace. Nobody ever took notice of the poor girl. One day she heard of a big ball and with the help of a magical spell turned herself into a beautiful princess. The prince fell in love with her and gave her a ring. On the following night the Prince gave her a diamond and on the third night he gave her a ring with a large gem on it. By the end of the ball {{lang|mt|italic=no|Ċiklemfusa}} would run away hiding herself in the cellars of the Palace. She knew that the Prince was very sad about her disappearance so one day she made some krustini (typical Maltese biscuits) for him and hid the three gifts in each of them. When the Prince ate the biscuits he found the gifts he had given to the mysterious Princess and soon realized the huge mistake he had made of ignoring {{lang|mt|italic=no|Ċiklemfusa}} because of her poor looks. They soon made marriage arrangements and she became his wife.<ref>{{cite %20Rakkont.pdf|title=Ċiklemfusa|website=Rakkonti|access-date=23 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i34ZwXDNn1E| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211029/i34ZwXDNn1E| archive-date=2021-10-29|title=Ċiklemfusa|language=mt|website=Filmat mill-Aġenzija tal-Litteriżmu| date=February 2019|access-date=23 May 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/bitstream/123456789/44340/1/Book_review_The_Maltese_Cindirella_and_the_Women%E2%80%99s_Storytelling_Tradition_2019.pdf|title= Book Review: The Maltese Cinderella and the Women's Storytelling Tradition (Veronica Veen)|journal=The Gozo Observer|number=39|date=2019|first=Anton F.|last=Attard}}</ref>
