Ever feel like you're Cinderella waiting for a prince to come find you with your lost slipper? Well, one tourist experienced something akin to the classic fairy tale after she lost her slipper in Lebanon.

The incident was recounted in a viral video shared on June 17 by Jess Tawil, a paraplegic TikTok user. The clip has received 1.4 million views.

A message overlaid on the clip reads: "POV [point of view]: You live a real life Cinderella story in Lebanon." Speaking from Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, Tawil said: "You guys wouldn't believe what happened to me yesterday."

TikTok user Tawil was sightseeing in Baalbek, a city located northeast of Beirut, a couple of hours from her home, when the incident took place.

Tawil said: "I'm paralyzed from the waist down, so I cannot feel my legs, I can't feel my feet and, most importantly, I cannot feel if my shoes are on. So, while I was there, I lost my slipper."

She added that, because the place she was exploring was "not the most wheelchair-accessible area, I had to be carried everywhere."

Tawil was "so certain" that her slipper may have fallen off somewhere while she was being carried around Baalbek.

She got home later, and her mom suggested doing a callout on her Instagram story to "see if somebody could find it for you."

Tawil said: "So I did and not even two minutes later, I get a DM [direct message]." The man who found her shoe is TikTok user Dr. Hamza Mustapha, according to a later comment by Tawil.

She said: "This guy goes, 'You're in my hometown, this is where I live. Tell me where you were exactly, and I will go right now [to find the slipper]."

Oh, that Lebanon. My initial assumption it was one of the towns named Lebanon in the US.

I remember the beautiful picture of Hillary’s lost hoof lying in the gutter after she was lobbed into the Scooby van like a piece of meat.

A real Cinderella story it was.

Oh yeah, she had a black man preparing her for her satanic ritual. He had that mask on because the odor from that cabbage and hawt sauce was overpowering.
