==Notes==
* This episode's story is derived from tale type 510B in the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, "The Father Who Wanted to Marry His Daughter", which is classified as a Cinderella subvariant. The story is a composite of multiple 510B stories, though the one with the greatest influence is "All-Kinds-Of-Fur" collected by the Brothers Grimm, which is likely the "early German folk tale" referenced by the title card.
