Quella tratta dal "Cunto de li cunti" è la più antica versione del tradizionale racconto di Cenerentola, che ha poi ispirato Perrault e i fratelli Grimm. La giovane Zezolla, figlia di un principe, viene indotta dalla propria istitutrice a uccidere la matrigna, che sempre si è mostrata crudele con lei. Quando il padre decide di prendere in moglie la maestra, Zezolla, scalzata dalle sei figlie di lei, finisce al lavoro nelle cucine, disprezzata e apostrofata come la «Gatta Cenerentola». Completano il volume tre fra le più apprezzate fiabe del Lapuke, La cerva fatata, La vecchia scorticata.
