Interestingly Cinderella never knew she had a fairy godmother!

She didn't recognise her when she saw her, nor did she realise what her fairy godmother was capable of producing for her at her time of need.

Just thinking that maybe that's exactly how a fairy godmother is supposed to work, for how else do we explain all the times someone pops up out of nowhere to be of service when you have little other options available. 

I wonder if we will inadvertently be someones fairy Godmother... in disguise as ourselves.
