Sleeping Beauty
The king and queen were celebrating the birth of their only daughter. The fairies of the
kingdom came to the palace to celebrate the newborn baby. And as tradition required, each one
gave a gift to the child. But, as the youngest fairy was about to bestow her gift upon the baby, a
witch came in! The witch was very angry because she hadn't been invited to the party.
"One day, the princess will prick her finger on a spindle and die!" She shouted bitterly. "No!"
Intervened the youngest fairy, "instead, she will sleep for a hundred years ."
The youngest fairy did not have the power to cancel the witch's spell, but she
could change the spell and help the princess.
The following day, the king ordered his people to burn any spindles in the kingdom. He thought by
doing so, he could save the princess from the curse. Time passed. The king and queen were happy to
see their daughter grow up happily and healthily.
One sunny spring day, the princess took a walk, together with her lady companions. The lady
companions were so busy talking that they didn't see the princess opening an old wooden door, full
of curiosity.
"Well!" said the princess, "I've never been here before."
After going up a long flight of stairs, the princess found a room with an old woman spinning with a
spindle. The young lady had never seen one before and was very curious!
The princess went in and asked, "What are you doing, old lady?"
"I'm spinning a spindle. Come nearer and you'll be able to do it. I'll show you how," said the evil
witch.
Soon after, the lady companions found the young princess lying on the floor.
When they saw the spindle, they immediately understood what had happened. "Oh, no! She has
pricked herself! The young princess has pricked herself and
will now sleep for one hundred years!" they cried.

The king ordered the princess to be taken to the best room in the palace and sent his messengers to
find the youngest fairy. When the youngest fairy came, she waved her magic wand and everybody
who accompanied the princess immediately fell asleep, too.
The years went by. Nobody remembered the princess and the curse anymore, until, one day, a
young prince decided to climb up the tallest tree and see what the abandoned palace was hiding.
There he saw the princess and fell in love with her. The prince went into the palace. He thought the
sleeping princess was so beautiful that he knelt next to her bed to kiss her cheek. Magically, the
"Sleeping
Beauty" and the whole palace awoke.
The following year, the prince asked the princess to marry him. Eventually, they became the
happiest couple in the kingdom and lived happily ever after.
