The sleeping beauty.
Once upon a time, a king and queen gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They invited the people and fairies from all over the kingdom to celebrate their baby's birth.
The fairies gave their blessings and precious gifts to the baby princess.
The first fairy said: You shall be the most beautiful in the kingdom.
The second one said: You shall be the wisest in the kingdom.
The third one said: You shall be the most warm hearted in the kingdom.
When the fourth fairy was about to give her blessing, an evil fairy entered the room and said: Huh, it's me, the most powerful fairy in your kingdom. How dare you don't invite me to your party.
She then cursed the princess: On the princess's 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die forever.
After saying these words, the evil fairy left the room.
When The King and queen were in despair, the fourth fairy said: Oh, I cannot break the curse, but I can help. When the princess pricks her finger on the spinning wheel, she will not die, but fall into a deep sleep. This curse may only be broken by a true love's kiss.
The King was so afraid of losing his daughter. So, he ordered his servants to destroy every spinning wheel in the kingdom.
Time passed by, and the princess's 16th birthday came. When she was wandering around the castle, she found an old tall tower and went inside with curiosity. There! She found an old lady spinning a spinning wheel.
What are you doing?
I'm spinning beautiful clothes. Do you want to try?
When the princess reached out her finger to try. Ouch! She pricked her finger on the sharp needle. She immediately fell into a deep, deep sleep.
The whole kingdom was filled with grief. The fourth fairy thought that she should make the entire kingdom fall into a deep sleep with the princess.
Close your eyes, my king and queen. Close your eyes, my loving people, for you shall sleep and wait for the princess's true love.
All the people in the kingdom fell into a deep sleep. A forest started growing in the castle, and everything was covered by trees and thorn bushes.
After many years, a prince was passing through the forest. He saw the princess lying in the forest and fell in love. He gently kissed her on the lips. At that moment, the curse was broken. The princess and all the kingdom woke up from their long sleep. The prince and princess were married and live happily ever after
