Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a Bear lived in the forest. He was huge and would eat a lot of food.
However, he was very lazy. So, he enjoyed eating the remains of the prey left by the bigger
animals.
One day, the lazy Bear felt very hungry. He could not find any food around his den. The
poor Bear waited and waited. Then, he started walking in search of food.
He thought to himself, ‘Oh! How I would love to eat some bamboo or fruits! But I would be the
happiest if I found a beehive with honey!’
Now, at the end of the forest, there was a rocky shore along the big blue sea. The Bear
soon reached the rocky shore. There, he found a firm rock and held on to it. He lowered his
furry legs into the cold water and waited. Some Crabs that lived in the sea caught the Bear’s
fur, thinking it was their prey. The Bear, at once, pulled his legs up and shook off the Crabs on
the rock. Then he enjoyed the food he had cleverly collected all over his legs.

Once upon a time a King and Queen had a beautiful daughter, and held a big party to
celebrate. They invited all the fairies in the land to come to the party, but they forgot to invite
one old fairy.
On the day of the party all the fairies granted the princess wonderful wishes, except the
old fairy, who had come even though she didn’t have an invitation. She cast a spell on the
princess, saying that when the baby grew into a young lady, she would prick her finger and die
of the wound. Luckily, all the other fairies got together and changed the terrible spell, so that
instead of dying, the princess would fall asleep for a hundred years when she pricked her
finger, and then be awoken by the kiss of a prince.
The King and Queen tried to make sure that there was nothing sharp in the palace, but
one day when she had grown up she found a needle and pricked her finger. She immediately
fell into a deep sleep. The fairies then cast another spell, which made all of the people in the
palace except the King and Queen also sleep for a hundred years, until the princess awoke.
So a hundred years passed by and then one day a prince was riding his horse when he
came across the palace. Going in he discovered everyone asleep. When he saw the princess, he
knelt down and kissed her, and she immediately woke up, as did all of her servants. They were
married and lived happily ever after.
