One of the folk tales I've heard is one from Korea. It's a Korean Cinderella story called Kong-gwi Pat-gwi. Basically it's about these two girls, Kong gwi and Pat gwi. Kong gwi and Pat gwi are step sisters. When Kong gwi's dad dies, she is mistreated by her step mom and stepsister. A rich young man has a party one day, and Pat gwi and her mom go leaving Kong gwi behind. Kong gwi is left with three impossible tasks but is helped out by a toad. She finishes them and goes to the party. There she falls and loses a shoe. The rich man goes around finding the owner of the shoe and eventually finds Kong gwi. The two marry and live happily ever after.
