In the Swedish Cinderella story, the shoemaker makes his daughter Singeli a pair of silver slippers, which the Fairies of Fortune bless. Singeli wears her slippers under wooden clogs, and as she grows, her slippers grow with her. She becomes a cowherd for the king, and wearing her silver slippers, she rescues him from trolls. Later when she serves the king dinner, she trips and her clogs fall off, revealing her silver slippers. The king recognizes them and announces that she is his savior and he will marry only her.
