Sleeping Beauty

Once upon a time in a faraway land, a beautiful girl was born

to the king and queen. Fairies from all over were invited to the
celebrations. They brought with them special gifts and blessed
the little princess so that she would become a clever, beautiful,
and kind girl.
Just then, an old wicked fairy came to the palace and cursed
the princess, “On your sixteenth birthday you’ll touch a spindle
and die”, she screamed in the anger and vanished. Everybody
was shocked.
A young fairy was called in the palace. She said, “I can’t take
the evil witch’s curse but I’ll try to help. When the princess will
touch spindle she’ll not die but will instead fall into a deep sleep
and will only be awakened with a kiss of a prince who loves
her.”
The king and the queen were so worried for their dear
daughter that they ordered all the spinning wheels of the
kingdom to be destroyed forever. However, unknown to them,
one spinning wheel was still left.
 As the years went by, the baby grew to be a lovely, charming young
girl. On her sixteenth birthday, when she was roaming about the castle,
she came upon a secret room at the very top of the castle towers.
Curious, she wanted to help an old woman bent over a spinning wheel.
“Oh! What is this?”, she cried as she had never seen it before. She
pleaded with the woman, “Please do let me try this as well”. But the
minute she touched the needle of the spindle, she fell to the ground. The
witch’s spell comes true.
With a heavy heart, the king ordered her to be taken to the grand room,
where she would lie for many years. The whole kingdom was sad for
sleeping beauty. The youngest fairy watched all of this and she said with
a wave of her hand, “Let the whole kingdom fall asleep with the princess
so when is woken by her prince, she will not be alone”. The moment she
said all this, all the people and animals in the kingdom fell asleep where
they were. Everything stopped.
As the years passed by, a thick forest grew around the palace and the
kingdom was hidden. Exactly, hundred years later, a handsome prince
was passing through the forest and he discovered the strange kingdom.
While exploring it, he was surprised to find the sleeping beauty lying
fast asleep and immediately fell in love with her. “I want to know who
she is? How gentle and peaceful she looks!”, he said. He leaned down
and kissed her. Instantly, the spell was lifted, the princess and all the
people awoke. It was joy and celebration all around. The prince and
princess were soon married and they lived happily ever after.
